Thu, 31 July 2003 02:49 If the damage really is that minor, it shouldn't cost more than a few hundred bucks to fix it yourself. Of course if you take it to a panel shop and let them buy brand new parts from Toyota and ream you up the arse for labour, it could very well cost $2700. You'd have to be nuts to do that though. 220,000km is pretty average for a 19 year old car. Mine is closer to 250,000 and it's far from shagged, excluding the original engine of course which fell apart years ago. You should pay close attention to the engine and transmission (if it's auto). If the car hasn't been properly looked after, both of these components can give you a lot of trouble. Of course rust is a major issue as well; remember it's easy to fix broken mechanical components, but it's hard (and expensive) to fix rust properly. Keep that in mind when you're inspecting the car.
