Toyota Altezza what to look for?

lakerslady

Hi, after months of looking around I have desided to go for a Altezza.
Is there any major problems to look out for on them?
Will probably shop around in Dublin is there a garage I sould avoid?

I'd say in general just check that it hasn't had the crap driven out of it judging by most the people I see driving one. For specific known issues try www.honestjohn.co.uk and parkers.co.uk for reviews.

make sure you get the rs200 version much more powerfull than the as200 version and stay away from modified versions, get yourself a nice standard rs200, very nice car
