Airalee Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 “Minor body damage” and “excellent condition” are completely contradictory. This is what I would expect for “excellent condition” https://www.one2car.com/en/for-sale/toyota-vios-e-bangkok-metropolitan-kanchanaphisek/6553478 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ad you quote is a manual transmission. It also depends on whether the OP's vehicle is the J, E, G or S model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t even know the year of the OP’s car nor do we have photos of the interior or even any decent photos at all. All I can see is a badly scuffed front bumper cover and a chewed up wheel. Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent I’m being generous calling the one in the ad excellent. Probably closer to very good. That car (from what we can see in the one photo) is “fair” at best.

I'm more interested in whether the engine, gearbox and transmission is sound. In both cases, no way of knowing if the odometer has come back about 100 K clicks. It's a national sport here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only used that shape headlight for one year. ( It has a kink in it at the bottom compared to the preceding and following models) Personally I prefer a manual transmission since in the provinces you don't really need an automatic and it makes repairs cheaper.

Logosone Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Excellent car for Thailand, good price. Dashcam is a real bonus in this lawless Africa style driving environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excessive price for a 15 years old car ; In Europe for a similar car of the same age , if you pay 35.000 baht ( 1,000 euros ), it's a maximum . Yes, we aren't in Europe..
