need a second hand kei car, 200k budget, suggestions pls?

[pastelrei]

i'm looking for a second hand car with a 200k (more or less) budget. a small car will do coz im also after the fuel efficiency. right now, i am offered an alto deluxe 2007 for 235k with the following specs: 98k mileage, sun visor, roof rail, mud guard, plate guards, 13" mags (july 2010), all power, anti carnap device, keyless entry, new battery, new wiper blade, new clutch disc (casa replaced oct 2010), brand new laminated windshield, 3M, hella fog lamps (dec 2010), and 90% good year tires.

i haven't tested the car yet, but considering that it would run smooth, do you think this is a good deal? or do i scout for other types of car? this would be my first car if ever and i'm admittedly such a dummy on this ... i'm also considering 2nd hand picantos. are 2nd hand kei cars still reliable? really need the inputs of car gurus here, thanks a lot

i have nothing against the alto. and im a firm believer that its not all about mileage but all about proper maintenance. but a 3year old car, a small car that is, with 100k mileage? unless its a typo, i suggest you look else where.

a picanto is a good option but its in the 270k+ territory i believe.

it's really 98k, confirmed it with the seller, though he insists na city driving. that's why i'm also hesitant

i find it hard to find second hand picantos, most are 2005 models and i would really prefer a 2006 or 2007. kahit 270k maybe i will go for it coz i have heard good things about the car and i find it cute Does this mean that picanto owners are satisfied with their cars and not selling? Getz on the other hand costs more.

Did you ask why he changed the clutch disk, considering that the car is still relatively new?
