What to watch out when buying used Toyota Mark X?

[stupidcar]

Wear & tear is very comparable to Camry and very reasonable for this type of car. Parts still quite easy to find and chop shop parts are also still abundant, and most parts are interchangeable with Lexus IS250/GS250/GS300. For common issues, really nothing much worth mentioning coz the car is really bullet proof. I barely spent anything to repair mine. Most of the money spent is on modifying/upgrading it rather than repairing which is great!

Thats weird. Mark X was not offered locally but they have parts here huh.

Great!! thanks for the reply bro, if i am not mistaken its already 6 years you own mark x right? its good to know the car is not problematic (i thought so, since it is toyota).

Thanks again for the infos!!

Yes, already over 6 yrs ownership now and no nagging problems whatsoever.
You're welcome. You can join the MXCU Facebook club also if you want to ask around there.

Which reseller do you mind to share?

You mean the Swift Sports? It's a female driver from KL. Why?

Fall in love with the Sports, give Mark X to son......lol

No la, the SS is for my son! I don't dare to let him drive the X yet coz it's foot parking brake so if he misses his braking I cannot do anything to help slow down! Plus I worry he would spin due to the RWD layout. The SS is far safer for beginners and it feels fast & loud due to the short gear ratios, so can deter people from speeding, unlike the X which is effortless and still silent at high speeds.

For now I'll use it everyday until my boy can drive and need to use later. So the X will be resting a bit.

Ahem.. cough... my house has space and I could use a car whilst mine rots in the workshop...

The fact that it uses RON97 only means he'll be real careful with the go-fast pedal otherwise his allowance habis on petrol only. Haha!

Hahaha of course not!

Well she said she likes driving manual car! She had the car from new and all that time she had been driving it daily in such stiff setup with the wafer thin tires. I've been only driving it for 3 days now and I already give up and will soon revert back to the stock rims with thicker tires. Cannot imagine how she can stand it for 10 yrs, must be a rare breed of female I suppose. Quite nice and friendly lady though so the buying process was a breeze.

Hahaha you'd fall asleep driving my X leh, too slow for you with only half the power of your 1JZ!

Yeah, hopefully he'll be much wiser than his dad at that age! I hope I can teach him well enough too.
