How To Chose From Twins

Tomorrow I am going to see 4 identical verso T3s

All are the same colour the same age and have very similar mileages.

The numberplates are similar so I guess they are ex Toyota stock......

how do I chose between them other than this short list

external belmishes

internal blemishes

tyre wear

oh and anything I need to especially look for on a 10 month old T3

cant see too many of them having that many internal blemishes. Tyre wear should be the same if they have similar mileage.

External body condition would be a factor and is obviously reflected in the price if any of them have any defects.

Are they the same inside? Same trim? I would always choose a black trim with black dash, but thats my preference. Maybe one has an extra over another like parking sensors?

Ask the dealer what features each Verso has!!!! Ex showroom/test drive cars should have very little damage,a dn low wear and tear, depends on how careful the dealer is with the cars!! Pay close attention of areas, involving bumpers, and boot lid, and ask to hear the engine, listen carefully for any belt slippages!!! Also please test drive them, as most problems with a used car, are found while driving!!! Do ask for any more help with Verso's!! Good Luck!!! Happy Hunting!!!!

Well - I've bought one an May 06 T3

It seems that there are about 18 T3 s out there at the mo on forecourts all having been run by TGB head office all for 9 months all less than 12,000. (I'm cool with this as both my avensis' have been the same route)

I decided as off the 4 I saw all were pretty much of a muchness quality wise (ie all were belmish free) I went for the one that had done less miles (8,295)

cheers for the help guys.

So if you are in the market for a 1.8 vvti Corolla Verso T3 in silver, ixion blue, grey or dark blue on an April or May 06 plate standard with no accessories at less than 12,000 miles there are loads if you search Toyota.co.uk

Oh and a tip haggles across the coutry I got my dealer to drop 1,000 cause I said I was happy to drive from Sussex to Aylesbury to buy one at the dealer there.

There was a thread some time back about the rear tailgates not fitting correctly( ie gap were not even )it could be a good idea to check out the rear tailgate.

My verso is okay and don't forget the colour of the car plays some part in the price you get when you trade it in next time.

Sorry just spotted you had bought one
