Hope you have gone through this @Arsalan Ehsan, if not, its worth a read when you are buying used car.

@Arsalan Ehsan I would not half the miles. Wearable like say brake pads would be more used which means the discs would also be worn out more easily. But the engine and gearbox have already completed 150000 kms as shown and no less. Secondly you haven't lost anything, if you've spent AED 450 it's in good cause. Insha Allah you have a good deal on your hands and will find ways to enjoy your ride for a long time to come. Like @Gaurav bhai said he's already adjusted the price from the market value due to the high mileage and current conditions. Say Bismillah and go through with the deal if your heart allows.

Yes, this was the point. I have managed to pull him down to this price down, i don't think he will come down any further. The guy is immigrating to UK with his family, wife and kids have already flown almost 6 months ago, he stayed back to put his ducks in order. So one of the reason for him selling is because he is immigrating to UK. Just had a call with him again in the afternoon, he was planning to submit the resign at his workplace next week and wanted to finanlize the deal. To be honest, i have driven accord for the last 5 years and have changed its consumables only till now along with the regular maintenance. I am not aware of any other mechanic or workshop that could help me, hence paid the price of 450 for the test thinking it should be sufficient but now as you have said they are not always the best option then i am thinking, one where to get it tested and 2nd wasted my money 😢😢 I have checked the service record and it is fine till date. He has been servicing the vehicle at proper intervals so no problem here.i read an article somewhere that if the car has high highway miles they are equivalent to half the miles in city. So in this case as his 90% ride was from Ajman to Jebal Ali, the miles in reality should be looked as 75k rather than 150k, not sure how much true is that. Thanks @Wrangeld, i think i should parallely secure a contract with car wash shops.😁 Thanks @Rahimdad for the welcome. If it is the bumper that will prove to be an issue then i think that is something that can easily be fixed, am i right is saying this? Where in its a piece of Machine, I totally agree with you, machines are unpredictable as do everything in life is and this is where the realibility of the machine comes in. I am still planning to keep my Accord, but during the cost of ownership for the accord is substantially much higher than Toyota. This is something that i was suprised to learn about. I believe you would agree with me, if the sand bug bite was to bite me and i have to worry about these points then definately i would come to these list, (bookmark done). Just another question, the vehicle i understand are in these price range but what about the repais and parts cost? sometimes the vehicles are cheap to buy but very expensive to maintain

It’s one of those things that I would never get installed aftermarket. Imagine something going wrong with it and not being able to disable it.

As per below video Yaris already have cruise control. If you meant to buy Yaris w/o cruise option and then adding it on, then it must be very easy as aftermarket kit need to add the cruise control stick (switch) on steering wheel with minimal efforts. Generally if any car comes with such option, then its easily doable than if that model never had that option. And don't worry about Toyota Advisors or Dynatrade as they are trained with NASA precision replies that any request 0.00001 mm left or right as per company standards = Not possible, not existing, not allowed, will create a ozone hole bigger.
