General 30,000 miles in the 500
We've got almost 3k up on ours in just under a month but I suspect the next 3k won't be up for a while yet.Wow. It's happened quickly.
How does the car feel in terms of tightness @ 30k?
General wear and tear isn't too bad. The leather is in need of a good clean and feeding. Otherwise there's nothing a good cleaning wouldn't fix. Certainly nothing else has crumbled, rattled or fallen off.
Mechanically everything is fine. But then I've replaced a fair few bits along the way due to hard/track use. Most recently she's had new gearbox/quiafe lsd/clutch with has made the front feel better than standard. Much better than standard actually.
I'm lusting over coil-overs at the moment. I don't think much of the standard dampers and the lowering springs I've got are a bit all or nothing.
But yeah, overall hugely happy with her.

Bilstein's are cheap IMHO

Back on topic. I'd blame your VS more than anything. Commodores are horrible things.... trully horrible.
i racked up 38k miles this week, and have to agree that the car is perfect in terms of mechanicals and wear and tear.
As someone said before, it's a Panda in drag, therefore it was always going to be reliable...
