Bhaiyo,

They are dirt cheap these days. My guess is around 10 lacs depending on condition.

That is also possible but there are a few things to check which can easily take your expenditure to more then 10. It has tendency of head crack because of air locks and insufficient flow once someone tries to drain and refill. Suspension type, independent or live axle. Auxiliary shaft viscous couplings. Should not be a 4x4. All these are common issues and require around 3 lacs to Fix properly.

drain and fill is easy for someone who has burped a MB diesel cooling system, its a baby that does not want to burp. The 4WD issues are a pain to sort out. The biggest issue is body parts in Pakistan.

I am now an expert to burp thse slant engine idiots. No hands on MB cooling systems yet. Once a friends 212 gave a warning and we just added a few MLs to get rid of it. Sensitive European girlfriends which they are

Aboit lucida parts. Mostly they have to be ordered. Used ones are easier but even they are to be arranged by the kabaryas. I did the suspension and got next day delivery of all the bushings, ends, struts and allied stuff. There are toyota suppliers who can do it for you for any JDM. Try finding a XR30 or above model which comes with petrol enines and FWD only unless u have a thing for RWD turbodiesel. I found mine to be at least 40% economical and around 25% slower then the modern one though.

Have got my hands on one. The first day after buying it, I drove it for 300km. I am liking the experience so far. Very nice drive, spacious and air conditioning works well.

Driven till 140km/h so far and it touches that mark very easily. So far so good.
