Hi Guys,

I am planning to purchase 1 unit of either Starex model 2002-2003 or brand new Toyota Innova, (both manual transmission) when i get back home.

Guys, I need your help (input) with respect to the following points so as to complete my study which one to purchase Starex 2002-2003 or Innova 2005:

aa). Ground Vertical Clearance (Bottom of tire to lowest part of underchassis). - my placed is bumpy road.

bb). Fuel Consumption (City and Highway driving) - How many kilometers it can travel per one liter of diesel?

cc). Spare Parts Cost. Which one is cheaper.

dd). Exterior and Interior Looks which one looks beautiful?

ee). Which one is spacious or roomy or bigger leg room?

ff). Starex or Innova do have softier ride.

gg). Is it true that 2003 Starex would have none of the rustproofing and air-conditioning problems of earlier editions?

hh). Is it true that 2003 Starex rustproofing warranty runs for three years, and the van comes with an “improved, heavy-duty air conditioning
system?

ii). What is the Starex model that incorporate an air intake opening at the left side of engine hood (driver facing the road) is it 2002?

kk). Starex 2002-2003 Mileage Warranty is it 100,000 kilometers for a total of 3 years?

ll). Can anybody send me a soft/electronic copy of model 2002-2003 Starex Service (O&M) Manual?

mm). what are the pointers to look up when buying 2nd hand Starex?
