Please Help Me With Es8

[vitz]

Guys,

During yesterday's car hunt, I came across two ES8s (auto), one for 2.85 mil (manufactured 2001, registered in S L in 2005) and the other brand new 2003 which has done 94000 km. The second one gives a kind of "tak,,, tak" noise during the ride and the seller told us he sells it for 2.1 milion (100,000 less than the advertised price) due to this problem. Thanks to the past forum just i found that there is a serios issue on the stearing rack and the front suspension in ES8s, and now i am doubting that may be the case with the second vehical. Anyhow, I have to get those checked by a good machanic.

Guys, my doubts are, 1. Are those stearing rack issues and supensions issues are too serious to change my choice, I am expecting to use this car for at least comming 3-4 years.

2. Those people in sales told that ES8s got a Vtec engine, I couldnot find anywhere in the engine it is mentioned.

3. There was a fit aria (sedan) for 2.1 milion (2003 year), it is better to consider this instead of ES8 ( though i dont like the shape of this vechical).

please enlight me with your experince and views.

1. Brand new imported 2003 ES8 is EXI DOHC engine and not V-Tech.

2. 2.8 million for 2001 model is too much.

3. If the steering is EPS, You have to spare approx. 100000 Rs for the rack replacement with lower arm bushes.

Many thanks Jega,

Its a mistake, the price is 2.285 milion. The dealer has purchased Celyinco, so the maintainance was done by Stafford.

Its a mistake, the price should be corrected as 2.285 milion. The dealer has purchased it from Celyinco leasing, so the maintainance was done by Stafford.
