Siena 2002 - 50k KMz...

Hi

Have this siena 2002, palio resembling, done 50K.

Thinking of picking it up.

However, intimidated with expenses ahead.

The thought came to my mind, when a friend of mine who owns an astra mentioned that his astra from 65k to 80k kmz needed a lot repairs and replacements after which it went back to normal running with usual maintenance.

My question is, what's with the siena/palio?

What all repairs and maintenace should I look for if I pick it up?

Inputs from experienced people, who have driven this car more than 50k, would be appreciated...

Ciao

look it up on the website of fiat, look at the maintainence schedule and replace parts as specified by the manufacturer, as far as i see it, it might require a new clutch, suspension job, all fluids replaced, plugs, both filters, and allignment and balancing this should take care of it more or less

Clutch ahs been done recently so no worries about the clutch, what about the air con, brake system, suspension, timing belts etc. Can anyone throw some light on the expenses I shud be looking forward to.

Parts proccurement shouldn't be a problem i think after That TATA Fiat pact.

Thnx
