Hi,
My first post. I recently purchased a 2008 Hilux SR5 Petrol Auto V6 4.0 with dual fuel LPG. It has 237,000 and a great mainly Toyota service history every 10K. It seems like it is excellent condition both cosmetically & mechanically although the suspension feels bouncy in the rear. The LPG conversion was added at 180K about 3 years ago.
The car looks like a city car and has no indication it has been offroad or used hard in any way. Previous owner was a real estate agent who looked after it. I am not planning any offroad adventures other than to cart my motorbike around to the trails and occasional inner city use.
I don't like the thought of going to a Toyota dealer and wondered if anyone has any favourite service places I could look at.
I am in Enmore in Sydney but can travel. I get my Mini & my Range Rover serviced in Rouse Hill at a place called BEMW as I love the place and the owners as they are very honest and offer great value servicing. I would take it to them but I have never seen a Hilux there.
I can do most of the basic services myself but would prefer to take it to Hilus specialist and get it checked over initially as I have no clue about Hilux's. I think I need new suspension but it seems I have to spend $3K doing that, I have no idea on the condition of the suspension but it probably needs changing?
Thanks
