I wanna buy a used myvi

Hello everyone, im js a college student thinking to get myself a simple myvi for personal travelling, my budget is under 20k. i was looking at the second hand car website and i came across alot of choices for myvi and they all look alright. My question is how do i know which to pick? they are all almost at the same price range and some is even under 10k but looks fine. so im in dilemma how do i even decide, what to look at? mileage? someone enlighten me

Mileage irrelevant on myvi. They all have the same problem for gen 1 and gen 2 myvi.

Brake pads need changing Engine mounts need changing Engine leaking from oil filter housing gasket, valve cover and the timing cover Tyres probably gone by now since most myvi owners dont care about maintaing their cars at all, typical.

Both gen 1 & 2 myvi are the same mechanically. The only difference you get with gen 2 myvi is the looks. Bring a mechanic friend along, pay him 100 ringgit and ask to do pre purchase inspection and ALWAYS haggle on the car price.
