Automotive expert of the magazine “Behind the Wheel” Alexander Vinogradov saidHow to choose the right used Toyota Camry V50 for 1.5 million rubles.
So, according to him, it will be a car produced in 2012-2013 for 1.5 million rubles. The basic two-liter engine does not provide good dynamics, but its reliability is excellent. The only thing you need to check when buying is the tightness of the crankshaft seals.
According to the expert, the generator overturn clutch sometimes jams on the old engine. It is worth checking if it has been replaced with a modernized one. However, special attention must be paid to this engine-powered automatic machine. If it has already been repaired, it is better to choose this option. Cases of overhauling this box on cars before restyling are not uncommon, and it is better to do this before you.
Also, when inspecting the car, you need to check the body, especially the trunk lid and hood, for rust.
It happened before that known That on the Russian market you can find a reliable and simple Skoda Octavia III liftback, which is cheaper than its Chinese counterparts: a six-year-old car can actually be bought for 1.4-2.1 million rubles.
According to automobile expert Sergei Zinoviev, the body and suspension of the car are made to last, the equipment is rich, but there are few convincing power units. Supercharged engines in the Octavia A7 came with new generations 1.4 (150 hp) and 1.8 (180 hp). The scary oil burner has disappeared, in 1.4 the weak timing chain was replaced with a belt, in 1.8 the tensioner mechanism was strengthened.
With a mileage of 100 thousand km, the rings may jam, the water pump, thermostat and boost pressure regulator may fail. At the same time, the model was equipped with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 110 hp specially for the Russian Federation, which was noticeably improved in 2015. This is the most reliable engine among all versions.
