hi guys i am a new member and looking forward to ur feedback. We just bought a th magna 3.5l v6 for $11000 about 5 months back, it has done 66000 and was garaged at our place for 1 yr bfr we bought it from a friend. It is a 99 april build. There is brake shudder (needs machining) and general repairs that the dealer said can be carried out at the next service in 7 months. Was it a good price?>?

For a '99 with 66k on the clock, no complaints here.

definately a nice price. as long as u can see no other physical damage. has it been in any accidents?

i reversed it into a bent/fallen sign which cost $800 to fix along with minor scratches from my dad and the smash repairer said there had been previous accident repair not fixed correctly which was minor ( taken care of in our repair)...but i am worried about suspension though seems more bouncy than i'd expect esp compared to my 85 toyota corona!!...so might take that into a suspension specialist...or it could be tyres..whats the pressure for tyres i should set for front and back standard spec bridgestone tyres on our car?

NRMA inspection bfr we bought the car said it was in good condition, except for a minor oil leak...we took it to a dealer and he said there was no real leakage except a common magna leak from the camseals or something (forgot the name) at the engine bay, which is very minor and will be fixed during the replacement of seals during service at 70000kms

Possibly the thermostat gasket.

standard aur pressure in tyres can be found on the front drivers door. when u open the door it has a table on the inside of the car.

from memory its 26 for the front and 30 for the rear.

yeh and get the suspension checke dbuddy.

P.S. where u at?

from memory its 26 for the front and 30 for the rear.


I think its the other way round.

For most cars its 30 in front and 28 in back .. (heavier end gets the higher pressure)

thanks guys
i'm in sydney trav....thanks for the help
