Should i buy a Toyota Paseo?

[squirtle]

Most people probably think..........a toyota what????

Yes, a Paseo. I first seen one about 5 years ago but it didn't seem practical enough to buy one.............now i don't care about practicalities.....so

I have a 1998 Punto Sporting with 62k miles on the clock............would i be foolish to sell it and purchase a 1997 Paseo si with 87k on the clock.

Toyota are generally more reliable i know. I generally do less than 8k miles a year,and for the future am likely to do even less.

I MOTed and serviced one the other day about same age and milage and it did not need any extra work better than most cars its age

I love my Toyota, I have the Avensis 1.8 liftback
lovely cars to drive and yeah reliable

will need to look up the one you mention !

Why a paseo???? parts WILL be a problem- its rare because it was a flop
plenty of coupes out there - no need for paseo

unFunnytroll th!!anks for your help.

Tali1, i guess i lked them a while ago and haven't thought about them much since, then one has come up for sale locally and it got me thinking.

I also think i would like something thats a bit different, but cheap to run and tax/insure etc. I don't want to go mad with money as i wouldn't be using the car much, and just thought with it being a 1997 reg it might be risk. BUT less of risk than keeping the Punto.

Thanks to those who gave a helpful reponse..............its ok saying better off throwing money down the toilet..........but whats the reason for doing that!!!!

Yes yes yes. Buy the Paseo. Parts not a prob, I know a couple with a Paseo each.

I'm currently considering changing a 2003 car for a '96/7 Paseo.

Absolutely ace cars!!!
