Looking at 2 of them - 1 is a 2001 (i think) and the other is a 2004 (i think)
they are the 1.3 motor versions - about all i know of them -
Any mechanics give a run down of what CAN and DOES go wrong with them etc!(Trans, Engines, Suspension etc)

Seriously though kazbanz should be along to answer your question. I remember him saying he has sold lots of Funcargos.

They're a 5 seater which is a bonus over my rvr which is only 4 seater - looking for something small and nippy for round town as i don't really (and probably won't really) get to go out of town and up the ski slopes much this year (which is why i originally bought the rvr)

had one ror a rental once, freaked out initially as used to big cars, but by end of week i thought it was a pretty good wee car for what it was, plenty of room despite first appearances.

Basically the same mechanically as the Echo/Vitz/Ist etc so should be pretty reliable.

inspected plenty, stay away from the one's that have sun roofs, get a inspection done as i inspected 5 for one customer and the 6th vehicle was clean

What did you find that made your customer reject the first 5! (presuming they didn't all have sunroofs)

the first 2 had sunroof issues, the others were either crap panel and paint, leaking shocks, sway bar link rod bushes, rear main seal leak and a few other issues, all had just been vin so a couple of them shouldn't have passed, generally a good car this particular client wanted a A1 vehicle

definitely cheaper than a funcargo. 2000 cube with 100k's couldn't get more than $4000 for mine, whereas a 2000 funcargo with100k's around $6000.

Have sold lots of Funcargos. Very little issues with them ever.Very versatile things. Used one myself for a year as a company vehicle. Good on fuel and huge storeage.

The funcargo 1300 is the same car from 1999 to 2005. No known issues at all. Don't get the par bench version where the seats don't fold into the floor but do try to get the wide front seat version.
