Allion 240

[TBN86]

Dear Guys.

Im going to buy allion 240 car.YOM is 2005.Currently it done 125000 km.Is it ok to buy this.How about maximum running millage for that type of engine.Cost around 3.7m

Welcome to the forum!

A properly maintained petrol engine can easily run over three times as much as that. 125,000 km is nothing if that is the genuine mileage of the car. If that's the only thing holding you back and if the rest of the car checks out, go for it.

Also, search the forum to find more information about the car. It has been discussed in detail.

Thanks davy.i will check further details.

My only concern is the 3.7mn price tag. Don't you think that's too much for a 11-yr old car, despite carrying a toyota badge?

it's a good car but too old to pay too much ....

A Belta would be a good substitute. [Even non JDM Yaris]

But if you want more "bells & whistles"; Lancer EX, FD, Axela n Mazda 3 ...

Exactly how does a Belta become an option for someone whos considering an allion?

mmm... like this. It's sedan. It's newer. It's fuel efficient.

it's a class behind allion certainly.... but practically, allion is too much used now...

let me repeat, this is only if u don't want bells & whistles too. if u have enough money, ya you can go for Axio new generation, Mazda 6 or anything you wan't too. I gave my answer becoz he had Q regarding his decision. Else go & buy allion. no worries.

The point of the question raised by crosswind was why are you recommending an econobox sub compact sedan to a person looking for a mid sized sedan?

as per my knowledge, no other mid sized sedan for 3.7 which he may distinguish with...

is allion mid size sedan? or it too a compact sedan.. googled & found this in wikipedia too.. [class: Compact car] may be u guys more giants ..  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Allion

I think Camry, Mazda 6 and Honda Accord are mid size sedans and allion and premio im not sure. 

[hrm]

Allion is a compact sedan and Belta is sub-compact. Commonly sub compact sedans are made by extending their hatch back variant where as compact sedans are purposely built.

 

For OP, similar alternatives would be Lancer Ex, Civic FD, Mazda 3 etc.

Allion is a compact sedan. 

For that budget you can go for a Camry 2007 if don't mind the fuel economy. 

[Crosswind]

The terms 'mid-sized sedan', 'compact sedan' etc. are different from market to market. A mid-sized sedan in Asia would be a compact or even a sub-compact sedan in North America.

But the whole point is Belta/Yaris are two classes below Allions.

We got the Beltas and Yarises then the Corollas and Axios and then come Allions and Premios. Recommending a Belta for someone who wants an Allion is like recommending a Alto 800 for someone who wants to buy an SX4.
