Wish that was all I had to worry about.
No monetary costs in those fixes. At least your indie was thorough. But brake fluid low is because your pads are worn Yes.
Engine oil a little low , cause you're got an oil leak. Seat belts retract slow because they are dirty.

Seat belts retract slow because they are dirty yep wash belts with water and mild detergent, when dry a light spray with aerosol silicon spray and they with retract like new.

You have been blocked

In pics, the lower kms one is clearly a cleaner vehicle (and It also has good maintenance records - mostly done at 25k intervals except last one at 30k). Even though it has fancy 22” rims, I do want to take this on the beach and 4wding so would need to go purchase a set of rims and tires for that. So more expense.

Agh been tearing myself up over this decision. 65,000 kms difference, and $9k price difference. But maintenance items required (yeah I can see I need to shop around for things like the control arms. DIYable?).

But it’s an autobiography...

What would you do?

Kinda hoping one will sell so the decision is made for me :-)

LOL Milton at Highbury is a very hard man to negotiate with , he sticks to his guns, don' t dare ask for a discount. I know as I bought 2 cars from him

I must have struck Milton on a good day when I bought my L322. I made him an offer when buying my car and accepted. Cheapest tdv8 L322 in Oz at that time, and he had spent a couple of Gs in it before putting it up.
