1998 Avensis Wagon, A Lot Of Questions

[Tpk99]

Hi, this is my first q!

I'm considering to buy a 1998 avensis wagon 2.0 diesel with 80000 miles at a very low price. What should I check in the car? Do you think that has a too high mileage considering that has a full service history? And above all do you consider a 12 y.o. avensis still reliable ?

thanks in advance! ;)

My Avensis is 9 years old and has 130,000 miles on it. Still running strong and I have no need or want to trade it in.

Mine is the 2.0 petrol, they say that diesels run for longer so yours should be fine especially with full service history. Just make sure you continue with the servicing.

my old corolla 1997 is still on the road 180k miles and still going strong

I would rather go for a petrol. There is quite a difference in power between the diesel and the 2.0 l. petrol from 1998. And the 1998 petrol engine will go on forever.
