Author Message   Jay Posted on Friday, June 14, 2002 - 12:19 pm:    Its a 97 SE with 130k. Is that too high of mileage. Do the RR's become problematic at that high. Its been well maintained and its a great price so I dont see why I shouldnt. Are the RR's easy to work on? Is there anything I should look at when I go back for a final test? Thanks   AlanB Posted on Friday, June 14, 2002 - 12:39 pm:    Basic maintenance is pretty easy (fluid changes, brakes, etc.) But if you have to bring it to the dealer be prepared to open your walet. Check to see if they have any service records and that the vehicle has been well maintained. Check to see if the computer shows any faults and the climate control panel doesn't have the testbook symbol on it, also check if any check engine lights are on. You must understand that these vehicles are pretty costly to repair if something goes wrong, be prepared. Good Luck.   Jay Posted on Friday, June 14, 2002 - 01:32 pm:    what does it mean if it has the "testbook" symbol on it?   AlanB Posted on Friday, June 14, 2002 - 01:55 pm:    On the climate control panel a symbol that looks like an open book with an ! next to it. It will light up when the climate control has detected a fault in the system and it needs to be checked out with the dealers testbook (computer). These faults can be very expensive to fix.
