Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

[Josh__]

Hey I'm looking to buy my first car and was looking at this 2010 Aurion Sportvio with 165,000km for around $9000and relatively new tires. Just wondering if this is a good price and if I should be worried about such high km's with expensive maintenance. Only looking to have this car for 5 ish years, so will it last that?

That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

I bought my 2006 ATX Aurion back in 2015/2016 with 160,000 KMs on the odometer. 8 years and 100,000+ KMs later, still going strong.

I do a lot of preventative maintenance with regular engine oil changes. Transmission fluid has been changed and also the coolant.

In that time period, I have replaced the water pump, alternator and both front and rear struts/shock absorbers. In hindsight, I have replaced brake pads much sooner than needed.

Overall, future maintenance should not be expensive.

Owner of a 2010 for 5 years. Bought with 48K on her, now at 165K. Only maintenance so far has been fluids, tyres and normal preventative maintenance. I intend to keep for another 100K at least. Most reliable and trouble free car I have ever owned. 

As long as the one you are looking at has been looked after with servicing history, you will be fine for five years in my opinion. 

Cheers,
