One can take a close look at: - power steering (often loosing oil) - gear box (especially 1 or R popping out under load, not going in) - AC operation (often loosing freon) - starting and idling (AIC valve, vakuum leaks) - shock absorbers (handling, front worn, -> oversteering in bad driving conditions, change every 40.000 miles) - engine / gearbox (often loosing oil) - front engine rest (tears often cause it¥s too weak, diffcult to diagnose, but all engine hoses suffer from that -> idling rough caused by vakuum leaks) - valve cover gasket (no problem but burnt oil smells awful) That¥s it normally, there should not be too much problems.
