assuming the car is in ok condition...
if it were a diesel, i'd think maybe, depending on your fancy.
the J variant is power steering and pawis everything else. i don't want this variant for myself because i simply can not reach over from the driver's seat and lock and unlock doors, as well as open the rear trunk without having to go down.. if you are ok with this, then yes the J variant is for you. otherwise, start at the more expensive E variant. Diesel.

thank you sa advice. condition is ok, i'm just wondering if its a good buy or should be lower. I'm looking also for an E variant na abot sa budget. :-)

mas mahal diesel variant than petrol. baka pag petrol you can get the E variant. mahal nga lang gas

Innova J D4D is a good company car, but not a good personal car. Sure, there are aftermarket power windows and locks, but the durability of these are questionable. Might as well get an Innova E D4D and save on the money you may be spending on accessories.

Well... If you can live without the power amenities (which I can't

), it is a good car. Just watch out for high mileage and flooded units.

But then if you look hard enough and negotiate well enough, you should be able to find an E D4D within your budget.

E VVTi nalang or G VVTi.

Hinde naman ganun kalakas sa gas yung Innova.

Personally ayoko bumili ng naunang mga Innova, ~04-05, yan kasi yung mga taon kung saan sumikat yung 'D4D woes' eh.

Hehe~ Or you can get a Revo VX240D with the ancient engine but all the bells and whistles like power amenities, leather interior, backup sensors, A/V entertainment system...
