Re: Legend 45 Auto downhill creep
I also had to get used to the same thing when I switched from manual to auto. As with anything, there are advantages and drawbacks for both. Auto is much more controlled on uphill compared to manual because you don't have to fight the clutch, but downhill manual beats auto - hands down. As Muddog su...

Re: TO FIX OR REPLACE --- THAT IS THE QUESTION
Depends on how much you love it. You calculated that repair cost will be around R80k. If you have that available you can sell the KZ for R90k, as is, add the R80k and you have R170k cash on deposit for newer model or even buy a newer model cash.
