They'll happily sell you an a check service but they don't have Irish car history data so you'd be better off using one that does.Before the purchase, I will check the car on Carvertical and I will take a mechanic with me for a more competent check on the spot.
Great, reliable car. They just stay going. Just make sure you buy one with the Toyota power unit rather than the BMW one. Have a look at the Toyota Owners Club web-site, Avensis section. https://www.toyotaownersclub.com/Toyota avensis might suit your needed,worth a look
The engine is pretty reliable without any major faults and should be good for 300K KM + if well maintained. Obviously check timing belt service / intervals. Note that the VW platform that both cars sit on has weak suspension links so expect to replace bushings / control arms etc.I'm thinking of buying a vw Passat/cc or Skoda Superb 2.0 D manual from 2012+, with approx. 250K KM or less, any advice is appreciated, besides the regular 1 year service /10K what else needs to be checked/changed/ refurbished or serviced? I mean in particular the engine and gearbox, and how much does it cost approx. to put the car completely in order? Almost all the ads say that everything is perfect and everything is changed, etc. blah blah, but still I would like to get everything right from the beginning.
Thanks for the advice and suggestions.
