hmmmm...i will share wot i know, hope it will help.
As you know, till now we have only bought Toyota vehicles, sometime back we had a AE100 Corolla as well. when we buy a car first we do a:
(1) FULL checkup, the service (changing all the oils, brake oils,etc)
(2) Tune Up including the Time belt change and injector cleaning/cleansing
- new plugs, battary checking all.
(3) then the tyre, break pads, cluth this and dat check.
So that now we know the actual condition of the car, and have a better idea. know wot we replaced and know in wot areas to be taken care.. no fuss, no surprises on the road at sudden!
Drive Safe!
