Throw away the word spacio andthink of its middle name--Corolla. Think 97-99 1600cccorolla.Its the last version before they went to the chain drive engine. Darn good reliable car. Never had an issue with the MANY i sold over the years. There are 3 internal layouts. Normal5 seater just like any corolla lift back 6 seater whichfrankly is a pain in the rear. -But you canremove the middle row to get a 4 seater. Then theres the "just" four seater which is ok

bit of a nana car, the earlier ones ( 97-99 ) but that's only my opinion of course. The later 1.8 litre ones look better, & have a bit more grunt ( + camchain )

It is a bit of a nana car. Whats the difference without a chain drive engine!. This model is the "facelift" model. 5 seats. Spoiler i think with chrome bumper (some have rubber apparently) no tow bar. But i guess i can add that.

Andrea-THISversion/age Spacio has a 1600cc corolla engine which means the cambelt needs to be replaced every 100000km -(this costs about $450-$600 depeding on if you do just the belt or replace water pump at the same time. The "chrome bumper" is in fact just a stick on cover over the part of the all plastic bumper that is normally grey unpainted plastic.-short version -someone has dressed the car up a bit. Enf of the day still a great car

Heck yea IMO anything under 6k for a sub 100k spacio is just fine. I would prefer around 4500 butif you keep it a few years the 1k cost will be far outweighed by the reliability
