Hello all!
I'm an Australian living in Japan.
Currently I drive a 1995 Toyota MR2 turbo.
I went and took a test drive in a 2003 E85 3.0i. It's white.
It has 96000km on the clock, which is fairly high for Japan. red leather package, navigation, cd changer etc.
When I drove the car today, I noticed there was a fair clunk when braking relatively hard, could this be the seat sliding forward, or some suspension components that are worn?
There was also very slight pulling to the left under hands free (
) braking.
The airbag light was on the whole time I drove the car.
I've read through the buyer's guide and the possible fault guide, I was able to drive a fair bit, but the engine was hot when I got there, even though I went without appointment. The dealer is using it to go to and from work at the moment.
I've discussed all the little problems with the dealer and the price is very good. If I had a little bit of an idea what sort of issues cause clunking under hard braking and pulling to the left. I may be able to negotiate the repair before purchase.
I think I'd prefer a different colour though. Anyone want to put in some good points of the colour white?
Thanks all.
Here's a pic of the car at the dealer's.
