Personally speaking mate, id save a bit more money and go for something with lower miles, sure the engine is tough but it revs to over 8,000 rpm which it probably has seen quite a few times over its 122k life.

Regarding the oil consumption problems etc with toyota, everyone is going to say this make of car is great and this make of car is crap...but at the end of the day they all give problems. Bet if you looked at other manufacturers forums you will see stuff that would scare you.

I've had a fiesta and 2 Focuses and none of them gave any real problems over the time that i had them, but still some people will say Fords are crap..

Best of luck mate
