Hi Bros,

I am a newbie here and may plan to buy a used latio(end 2006 or beginning 2007). Wish to find out what are the things I should look out for...especially major issues which can be costly to fix/maintain in the future as the car gets older. Btw, can I know if there are outside workshops available to maintain latios at a more reasonable cost compared with going back to TCM...especially when the warranty runs out after 3 years? Thanks.

Cheers! ;D

you are looking at a used latio STILL under TCM warranty. You still have time to test out and go back to TCM to change faulty part. not much issue. Most important is the reputation of the dealer.

If you want 3yrs loan then stick to it, dealer like you to sign longer. make sure it is printed any outstanding fine before the purchase is not yours.

Just have to check if the car had accident before, tyre condition, check i-key working, check all lock and auto windor works, check if the spare tyre and tool kits still there, come with touch up paint(?), original manual and service log book?, any funny smell? lastly buy 4D check result  :bleh:

The tricky part of buying a used car is the accident detection. It takes a very well trained pair of eyes to detect accident car cos the workmanship can be very good sometimes to escape even car dealers.

Beware and do send in for a AA check ...the $100 plus is worthwhile, you buy a peace of mind.

Ying:
yes, the test report helps.

Thanks for the advise. This model have been around for some time and is quite matured which means that all issues due to aging of the car should have been known. Frankly, all makes of vehicles have their own sets of common issues, be it honda, toyota or nissan. I am new to Latio and with the info provided by you, I just hope to improve my chances of getting to get a reasonably good condition used latio. ;)
