Re: New '03 PT , What to watch for?
Welcome.
How many miles on it?
Just some guides, based on my experience...
20-30,000 miles - Ignition wires need replacing (use Crane wires www.RaceAndStreet.com) - replace plugs (at 0.040) at same time.
Tires are probably shot - I love my Michelin Hydroedge - better life and handling
Brakes - front pads - get ceramics (I chose Raybestos) and they last and black dust is gone.
If you have an auto, at around 50,000 miles, have it flushed (not just drained) and be sure they use ATF + 4 (or 5) ONLY - runs about $175.
At around 100,000 miles - have timing belt replaced - with the water pump. Varies, but around $700.
I would recommend synthetic oil (Mobil 1) - there is no question that it's better than regular oil.
That's it. Enjoy.
