Low mileage IST Vs Slightly newer IST , which one to go for?

Good people,

i need your assitance on this one, i want to purchase a small fuel efficient toyota vehicle , i have selected Toyota IST, i have two offers so far , the first one is a March 2004 , 1.3F IST, with 54,000KM , whose link is this one , https://www.sbtjapan.com/used-cars/any/?stockid=US4802 , and the second one is a March 2003 IST , 1.3G IST, with 47,000KM . they share almost similar specs in many other areas . Based on this what would be your recommendation? should i go for a low mileage 2003 IST or go for a 2004 IST with a slightly more mileage of 54,000km.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Are you buying to use in japan ama?

To use in our country not Japan

Hii si kitu mtu anajibu tu. Hata hatujui condition za hizo gari. You buying local right?

i know details are sketchy , lakini keeping other factors constant , based on the supplied information what would be your advice?

Just to shed a light both are grade 4 vehicles on a Japanese used vehicles grading system

Huwezi ingiza jalopy ya 2004 my fren. There is a restriction on the year of the model. If need be tafuta locally used.

Any vehicle manufactured before 2011 cannot be imported into the country right now so your comparisons are null and void.

which country? if it’s Tanzania then go right ahead. But here in Kenya right now you can’t import a car older than 8 years

Unapeleka wapi? Haitapita pale Port

Soon to be reduced to 5 years to cut down on rising imports.
Ole wenu.

Ukiangalia “cheki” uweke filter gari za 2013 and above section ya toyota unaweza toa machozi

For cars of that age you MUST do a proper mechanical inspection and go for a thorough road test with a trusted mechanic.am assuming ni local cars, kama ni za Japan wewe ni meffi

I know guys who have lost money like this coz they are not willing to pay an importer.
