les cam belt = timing belt.
agree with shinny - $20 brake pads - spend a bit more
lets see ;
Radiator/heater flush $50 ok depends on what they find
Coolant $40 yep
Water pump $50 yep
Cam belt $30 yep
Oil $20 yep
Oil filter $10 yep
Air filter $20 yep
Fuel filter $5 i'd say $10-$15
Spark plugs $20 yep
Clutch fluid $0 (covered under brake fluid - same shit)
Brake lines $60 (what for - inspect ones on there first)
Caliper overhaul $50 inspect first - a kit might cost you more than $50!
Disc Machine $50 about right (if they can be machined, otherwise replacement could be $200)
Brake fluid $20 ($7 for dot5 castrol)
Brake pads $20 spend more than this
Wheel cylinders $30 inspect old ones first
Brake shoes $30 inspect old ones
Roadworthy $55 ($50 in VIC) inspection only
6 months rego $300
Miscellaneous $200 (hoses, gaskets, stuff for roadworthy, etc)
transfer fee and stamp duty
i almost bought a new daily driver recently and go thru the same stuff as you actually (glad to know i'm not alone) - when you start adding this stuff up a cheap car ain't always a cheap (safe) car.
i'd also include shock absorbers minimum, and, a full inspection of all bushes.
check CV joint for play and universals too on the tailshaft. i'd swap diff oil too and gearbox oil (w50 should be under 4 litres OR if you're an auto person like me adjust bands and refill and replace gasket/filter)
my 2c. good luck mate
