Is it okay to buy a 2014 hybrid axio for 3.9 M?

Well it would depend on your requirement and condition of the car - how much mileage has it done? Since it's a hybrid a bit of inherent risk is there in terms of the battery etc. If you have a buffer for any eventual issues and if you do actually do a lot of miles (so that the fuel savings outweigh the relatively higher maintenance costs/repair costs of a hybrid) and if you have really set your mind on it then go for it. You can get the car fully checked at the agents before you purchase just to be sure.

Thank you. Mileage 68000. How a non hybrid axio 2013 for 4.3M? Is it worth than Hybrid?

Whether is is a good deal or not depends on you and the condition of the car. As for the cars....the gasoline variant actually is a pretty solid and reliable machine than the Hybrid. No pesky battery issues or HSD issues. he typical Axio user will diss it because it doesn't do 21.736kmpl. However..in the long run you probably will save a bit more than owning a Hybrid (provided you find a good, honest and untampered car).

While the non hybrids are rare if you can find one its a good choice. Its a solid car that will hold its value than the hybrid

Go for the Petrol Version if you get a good specimen. I have been using the hybrid version from 2015 and it has almost run 54000kms and I've maintained it at Toyota with no expenses spared. Whatever you save from fuel (This too unless you run a lot will not be very significant) will go later on for maintenance and you eventually end up maintaining two systems concurrently meaning the HSD+ICE. It is a bit of a misery to drive anyway.

Btw...Don't get fooled by the nonsensical fuel figures posted in Sri Lankan Facebook forums.

If you drive about 40000 Km per year the hybrid is worthwhile. Anything less than 20000 Km I must agree with Indrajee.

The price tag is too good to be true. Its either a high millage one or failing HV battery. Get it inspected thoroughly.

That seems to be the going price range at the moment (closer to plus or minus 4 million).. saw a few ads in the popular lk quick sale site advertised with a similar price tag..

Most probably the hybrid battery and ABS related stuff might be giving worries. Thorough inspection at the Agent or a reputable Car Checks place would be mandatory I would say..
