My Friend friend is selling his car (above) to me.
I dont know much about this car specially the problem, & the possible price since this will be the next issue.

Kindly asking for your opinion if this is reasonable to buy, at what possible price, & the pros & cons?

TIA.

36k is relatively low for a 5 year old vehicle.

If it wasn't flooded then was maintained properly then that car, if given at a good price, would be a good steal.

Thanks Qwerty & Renz...

The owner is from abroad.
How about the engine, & its fuel efficiency, is there's something to worry?

The 3.0 D4D V is the top of the line. 4x4. It does not suffer from the engine stall of the lower 2.5 D4D. FC is around 6.7 km/liter city driving considering its a 3.0 liter engine.

Nice for FC indeed!

How about the suspension sir?

it's technologically a good car. the only questions are, how well did owner maintain it, and what's the price?

It's a good car. You won't regret getting it. The suspension of the First Gen Fortuner is a bit stiff but that can be cured with O-Sulee Cushions for the springs or replacing the shocks to softer ones.
