Travera neo 2

[Lamasiri]

Dear friends I am in a conflict situation about buying Chevrolet Tavrea neo 2 2011, 2000cc, Manual ( Indian ) MUV please be kind to give me some ideas to consider.

Its based on the Isuzu Panther, an MUV we used to have in  Sri Lanka , sometime back. Can remember a lot of these were used as govt vehicles ( Those days SML was govt owned). Being bulit by Isuzu , even the Tavera may have a reliable engine , but i can remember the old Panthers suffering from rust. Also, engine rattle is a bit annoying and since its based on a pick up platform , wasn't very comfy. Also, i think the original wheel sizes were quite small, which kind of gave the car an unusual look. 

I guess you would not have a problem sourcing the engine parts , but body & other interior trims am not so sure how easy would it be to source unless you can get someone to pick it from India (i think the panther had a lot of common parts with Fargo/ WFR and the Isuzu old KB pick up. But am not sure whether this is teh case with the Neo 2.  Someone should correct me but am under the impression that now Magcity is the agent, and even they have discontinued selling the brand. 

Might be a reliable workhorse, Let's see what the experts have to say.
