[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064733856, member: 2429"] Altezza maintenance is higher than Vios. By a lot. RWD has diff and assuming you want a manual, the manual oil is going to be more expensive than the Toyota type-IV oil. And the age of the Altezza alone will make it expensive to maintain. But still cheaper than a stupid Nissan Sylphy G14. The newer G4 is better than the G2 purely because of age. The bigger the number the newer the engine. Also the G1, 3 and 5 3SGE Beams engines are manuals, G2 and 4 are autos. Personally I hate the autos because there is almost no low end torque and revving an auto to high RPMs is just sad. Also finding a 30k Altezza probably means it's a beat up RS200 with a 1GFE 6-cylinder. I recommend the 3SGE Beams models not the 1GFE ones unless you plan to do engine swap. The 1GFE is really old and costs way more to maintain due to age and 2 extra cylinders. The Beams engine is a rev happy engine and pretty needs to be revved a lot to get the best out of the engine so the auto is not the ideal transmission. Other than that the interior bits and pieces are not cheap to buy too so make sure your interior isn't damaged. If you're not sure how to check all these things, the Trial guys in Sg Besi can help you check the car as they are Altezza pros. Either meet the seller at their shop or hire one of the mechs to go inspect the car for you. [/QUOTE]
