Hello mga sirs. I’m planning to buy a 2009-2012 XT. Any advice you could share? Things to watch out for?

Make sure the turbo is not leaking or failing. Aside from that, do the usual checks when buying a used car (suspension, aircon, electronics, etc).

Thank you sir Egan. Is there any difference between the year models?

Assuming the vehicles are of the same generation, they will be similar in all respects except maybe a change in audio head units over the years within a generation.

The FXT SH platform (2008-2012 global, 2009-2013 local) used the older EJ25 engine (2.5L turbo) paired with a 4-speed AT tranny. The newer gen SJ platform (2013-onwards) uses the newer FA20 engine (2.0L turbo) paired with a CVT tranny.

The SJ platform is bigger in dimensions compared to the older SH platform.
