i see the speedometer and seems like parallel imported car.
hence wont have legit service records with authorised dealer and cant track milege.
dont say "engine and gear box", just a few pumps and hoses down, its enough to set u back by a few grand.

p.s i notice the red seats look slightly blackish for a 60k km, and the wheel hub on the front left looks a little corroded.
cheers

yes, newer unit is better.....this unit seems more positive.....you are only looking at S20i? .....

S20i is 4cyc with turbo vs S23i (6cyc NA 2.5L) i prefer a 6cyc.....

thks for the input, any particular things to look for when i go down for viewing?

actually looking at turbo cars

beside 23i being a 6cyc, any particular plus point of it?

am looking at smaller cc actually. hence looking at 20i but still keeping options open btw 23i and 20i.
35i is way over. hence thanks for the offer.

noted on that...
in SG: yes a 2L turbo is good enough...

Hi,

I own the sDrive23i and i do personally find it a bit under-powered. If power is not a concern, then it is a nice car to own.

 

[Nivleko]

thanks for the heads up. =)
