Newbie getting a latio...
enfernoe:
Hi pple, newbie here...
My dad got a Latio premium for me to travel to sch since I live very far away frm it.
Apparently, he got a test drive unit tt already clocked mileage of 1500+ but got a discount of $3K + $1K (YOM 2007 stock) (Total price is 56k).
Got free tuff-coat (dunno what is tt) & body kit.
Alreadying collecting the car this coming week but it's my first car so I cant help but ask: Is it a good deal?
Anyway, he gave me a budget 2k to "upgrade" anything "bad" about the latio tt I read in the forums. I really know nuts about cars and after reading ard the forums, abit blur liao. I'll but changing the tires bt can any1 can advise what else will be "good to change"?
* Just got my license 6mths ago and really no nuts abt cars...paiseh if the questions sound brainless....

First of all...Welcome to the Latio club.
with 2K, change yr rim & tyres ( 16" at least ), do up a entry level of sound system. Should have some spare to do grounding, volt stab etc etc
Jazz:
I would recommend to assemble strut bar to improve handling first. :D

Ghost is right, change tires first coz stock tires toyo J50 not really good. Especially ppl like to brake hard during test drive to test out the brakes. So not sure of your tires condition now.
Since you newbie, maybe can get a garmin gps around 2~300++, so you always know where u are and where to go ;D
Then you can consider change the horn, coz latio horn is not powerful and some may ignore
If your car comes with solar film, then good. If dun have then can consider, reduce the heat when driving or parked under hot sun
Since yours is test drive unit, better get a shampoo to thoroughly clean your car of bacteria and germs that maybe accumulated after those test drives
For spark bridge, VS, fierce front grille, headlight, please consult latioboy and the rest mod kings :devil2:
Jazz:
Pls recommend some useful and constructive upgrade for our fellow new driver.
Hi enfernoe,
Our current stock Toyo tire is good enough for your daily commute to and fro, unless you have extra which I do agreed for better grip and comfort rather than performance.
Can skip horn, VS and other aesthetic mod as you are a student plus a new driver. Concentrate on the road and get used to your car first.
As for the good deal, since you already bought, no point enquiring as it will make you either feel better or otherwise. Just enjoy your ride. :thumbsup:
