Oh and auction sheet doesn't matter much now since the car has been in Pakistan for a while now (since 2012-13)

Whats your advise, whether should I go for it or no?

140k mileage isn't exactly an issue when the car has been kept properly. If you know of a good mechanic and a denter, take him with you to check the car and if gives the green light, go ahead

Bro 140K is the mileage on Auction Sheet and its been here since 03 years. I am surprised to see auction sheet as odo meter is showing 73K. Any way, ll go for Engine test / accident verification by denter. Thanks for advise

Hi
Guys i am hearing sound like (krrrrrrrrr) from my axio luxel 2007 i think it's coming from left side front wheel (not sure) while putting foot on brake for slowing down vehicle sometimes i can here this sound without braking. But very slow but while braking normal this sound is louder this only happens on slow speed like 20 to under 70 kmph so any idea friends what is this.

Thankyou

Yeah the purple one. Stick with it, its better. I emailed LM sometime back whether to get their 5w40 synthoil or the LM 5w30 that's available here and they recommended this 5W40.

Have a good mechanic do brake maintenance i.e. visual check of the brake disks + wheel + brake pads, its probably worn out brake pad. Use Genuine only.

I'd say dealership, the mechanics do not have any tools to make sure the belt has been tightened to the Company specific tension. The mechanics just do it by "experience" and "guess work". I have seen one mechanic trying different belts on a Honda City, the same doing "smoke" caused by incorrect tension on the belt and finally he got it right, at least for the time being.

There is a special tool used for checking whether the belt's tension is correct or not. I have no idea if local Toyota dealership has those or not but at least they will not be doing anything by "guess work".

Why Axio 1.3 is so expansive in Pakistan. I searched japan auction site for its selling price in last 3 months. I was surprised to see that 4 to 5 grade cars were sold in between 8 to 10 K USD. It is not much different from vitz then why Axio is sold at higher price of 22 to 24 lacs in Pakistan?

The import duty on the car is roughly 950k to 1200k hence the ridiculous price.

You are forgetting the Custom Duty which come to about 12 lacs for 2012 model Axio that is allowed to be imported, about 60k documentation charges and 10-20k transportation charges. Then the investors ask for profit too.
