Hi, I am looking to buy a Toyota Caldina around the $10000 mark (most I have seen are between the years 2004 - 2006).
I have seen a number of 2006 ZT models at this price point but between 134000 and 136000 Kms on the clock.
Is this to high? I have seen some lower Kms but older, 2004 - 2005.
For this age range of car, what would you recommend as the highest Kms before avoiding the purchase?

Hi there,
If you calculate a car doing on average 10-14k a year. A 2006 car should have 90- 126k on
the clock. So this mileage is not far off.
Hope this rule helps.
I would try and find the lowest km's possible in the shape of car you want, even if it's a year older. It will hold value in the km's on resale.
