Hi guys i'm new to the forum, I'm currently in the market for a second hand sx6 or zr6 and i need some advice, i started with 5 different cars and narrowed it down to the aurion (reliability, fuel economy, looks, performance, accesories etc).
Firstly, I have considered the Accord Euro, Mazda 6, VE SV6, BF XR6 and toyota camry. I'm in my mid 20s so i have a tendency to go for a big powerful V6 cars the SV6 and XR6 are both good looking cars, but the general opinion is that they are not as reliable as toyota and drink more fuel when driven normally (especially in city driving). I hope i made the right choice? lol i feel kinda silly asking this in a toyota forum, but from what i'v seen this is a great community, better than some of the other ones i'v been to.
ok so i'm looking at carsales.com.au, and focusing on dealers rather than private sales (for peace of mind), i would like to know is there anything i should be aware of when buying the car, any particular problems to look out for that are easy to spot? as this is the first time i'm buying a second hand car, my last car was a magna :P, goes smooth for a everyday driving car but gets boring.
my budget is roughly $20-23K, also, what warranties should i look for? if any. i'm a little confused between the different types of warranties they throw at you.
should i also avoid modded cars and go for the stock ones?
what colour generally looks good on the sportivo? Silver? I'v been told to avoid black as they dun look that good on sportivo and makes it look smaller? (i can wash my car every weekend so keeping it clean is not a big problem) what about blue?
this is kinda stressful so many factors have to be considered, after eliminating all those other cars, phew.
please any adviced would be highly appreciated :D thanx
