Things to consider -
1) ECU light, if reappear needs over haul
2) Consider getting an AP agent to choose own car? - Didnt know this is possible.
What else to look out for? What are the charges recond car comes with? Can I register my own new plate? Warranty?
From the thread, I read that service and maintenance is pretty standard being a NA car.
I would assume this means it will be same as most Japanese cars (Toyota, Honda, Nissan), yet I would expect higher cost in parts to set expectation correctly.
Additionally. Toms Vision Sunway is one of the specialized workshop for the car. Any other references?
Lastly, any difference in 2013 / 2014? 2017 i know is facelift.
Is the car speed limited at 180 km/h? can easily disable?
Thank you very much!
1) if appear, find out what error code. may not need overhaul.
2) yes possible. but very troublesome and price higher and often very expensive.
market price, no additional charges as its supposedly included.
find out from your recond dealer, they wary dealer to dealer.
Word of advise:
AVOID Vision motorsports and any stock obtained from them.
i lazy explain, you'll find out easily if you dig hard enough.
yes you can register your own plate.
In Malaysia, unreg/recond is basically a new car.
imported used car, newly register in malaysia (hence you can use new registration/transfer your own plate)
Warranty can assume none, some do have third party warranty under written by insurance such as Tune protect.
however claims have many limitation and for 86/brz, its basically insurance to cover half cut replacements.
eg: a claim max limit 10k, a brand new manual 6 speed gear box is around 16-18k.
so you only get half cut unless you can negotiate to top off the balance uncovered amount. (i dont think it works that way)
its still a full fledged sports car, anything that breaks, you're kinda fucked.
2 door rare AF sports coupe at that.
feels awesome when you call up Toyota (for my case, at Melaka) and they don't know what's a 86.
facelift = cosmetic and for manual, 5 hp and final drive adjustment.
all of the items from facelift you can get aftermarket anyways, not critical to have.
Japan is limited to 180, soft cut where your throttle starts to close until a max of 191-194km/h on meter depending on auto/manual.
gps is around 182-184km/h
