Congrats on the car, and it is a good move to get an inspection done, As the car is 10 years old. There are enough specialists and the agent will be more than happy to help you. Cheers,.. TT.

@OP The GE series fit is a waaay better choice than the vitz : has ample space,more pulling power and an absolute joy to drive. It was however the fits cvt issues that highlighted the cvt issues initially in SL. Just be vary on that.

The car is actually pretty good and is decently put together. Not the most exciting of cars to drive but it will get the job done. The issue with the car, imo, has nothing to do with the car... The P90 series which (2005ish onwards) was the beginning of the Vitz getting a CVT unit (and the beginning of the common/popular cars coming with CVTs in to SL). As a result most users and mechanics were a bit too clueless on how to service them (did not change CVT fluid at reasonable intervals, used the wrong oil, opened them up thinking it would be just like any other AT). As a result quite a few of them in SL seem to have had some kind of transmission work done. I suppose the latter series/imports could have been a bit better taken care of ? This is not a reason to run away from it. Just make sure that the transmission is in good nick, and if it has been maintained properly and if it was swapped that it was done at a reputed place (i.e. not Johnny baas's J Motors down the road). The plus side is..this can also be a negotiation point to come to a reasonable price. For the same price I believe you might be able to find a GE series Fit, which is a much nicer car to drive or even a Tiida from the same era (one can always say these cars too have similar CVT issues...). The "Indian" built Swifts of the era are much lower than your budget (but don't go for it ?). However, the Japanese variants if I am not mistaken might be within your reach. No matter what you get....at the very least take it to the agents for an inspection. depending on the agent, the check might not be that comprehensive. So consider a third part Car Check place as well because their car check might have more points for inspection.

Take the vehicle to toyota lanka and they will givea full report for just rs.6500.00
