    Would finding parts or repairs be an issue with a 2014 Holden Commodore?

    I’m looking at a 2014 Commodore Evoke with 61,500km. Would parts or repairs be an issue, as I be looking at keeping it long term?

    The biggest potential repair cost for this make and model would probably be the replacement of the engine’s timing chains. These were of poor design and quality from the start and many Commodore V6s of this era have suffered stretched chains which require replacement. It’s not a cheap job, either, and you should budget for at least a couple of thousand dollars. While the vehicle in question has covered low kilometres, the health or otherwise of its timing chains will be down to how well it’s been serviced over the years. Any skipped servicing makes it a ticking time bomb in this regard. But even well maintained vehicles have experienced the same problem.
