142,000 KM? That's 88,000 miles. Bah! The GLS had 165,000KM (103,000 miles) when I sold it and it's still going strong! Not a jot of trouble!

Galants seem to fall into the "Service it regularly and it'll run forever with minimal trouble" class of car.

I'm with Kieran. There's no point buying a lower mileage one if you are happy with the one you've got. It looks good from the photo and you seem to like it. Why sell a car you're happy with? If you look after it then it will look after you.

Out of interest, what size are your wheels and tyres? Have you dropped the car? Do you get any fouling? They fill the arches very nicely.

Just keep it well serviced and it will last a long time. I had a Galant, which I took from 145000 to 245000 in 2 years.
