hello all
cant wait to join in the fun not sure if my face will stand up to the constant grin when im behind the wheel,
looking to buy a vr4 in the very near future.
not to worried by fuel costs driving a toyota hilux surf 3.0 turbo diesel and that thing needs to stop every other garage also needs oil change every 3k
but i am interested in general service costs and parts i have seen a few references to £700 services any info will help me prepare a brief for the wife /pan

Hi and welcome to the club.

Smiles are a compulsory part of VR4 ownership. :evilgrin:

As for servicing costs, there are things you could do yourself with a bit of help from the articles area (membership required to view - best £20 you could spend) and things which you would probably want done by professionals.

A full service with cambelt, all oils etc will be relatively expensive so try to find a car with good service history. Reliability is good so no real issues on that front.

I hope you find a great car and don't be afraid to ask anything.
