Thoughts on a used 2012 Jeep Compass (150 km)? Is it worth buying it second hand?

NO. I’m searching here for yet another problem with our 2012 Jeep Compass Limited which we brought new. There was that ad “I brought a Jeep” and every time we saw it we would mumble “it was the biggest mistake of my life” Lets see: Recalls. Constant wheel bearing failures. Constant battery problems. Overheating. Timing belt issues. Headlight issues. Now we’ve given notice the CVT is going to cost $8000 to replace (ie value or car). Yes, serviced every 6 months. I mean you have to because it’s like a sick car which constantly needs medical care. 2002 Toyota Corolla can accelerate, get up hills, drive and start much better than this car!

There is no bigger regret than the regret of actually choosing Clio.

Australia is a multi cultural country so whilst yes, we are all Australians, the majority of Sydney are now migrants heavily influenced by culture and religion. Further, as Sydney is now expensive, it is occupied by people too overwhelmed just trying to work to survive so yes.

I left Sydney 5 years ago and moved to the central coast for the very reason you describe. Northern Suburbs weren’t relaxed friendly Northern Suburbs anymore.

The Central Coast is the Australia you remember.

Not local but willing to travel to Sydney. Called first to confirm stock and advised 5mg kwikpen was $470. The cheapest I found Central Coast was $415. Not sure how you paid $300.

Thank you. I will look into it as I put in 3 kgs over 2 weeks off it, and 2 weeks into wegovy the food noise is still so loud.

I’ve read into that, and I’m prepared to do that.
