At least the depreciation factor has almost reached the chasm at the bottom of the Kaz Cliff. The one he mentions in the Fiat Punto thread.

Thanks all so far. I'll probably check it out this afternoon, and take it down to my mechanic for a looksie. I can do the full body inspection, as I'm in panel and paint, but need a mechanical opinion. Cheers.

It's essentially Toyota's answer to the 3 series which (at the time) also had a 2l I6

Lots of manufacturers did small sixes back in the 80s and 90s but they've since fallen out of favour, the smallest around was the Mitsi 1.6l V6

Don't feel bad. Most Singapore imports have their odos wound back. You probably dodged a bullet.

Toyota used 2 litre inline 6 cylinder engines in lots of their "bigger" bodied cars right up to recently as well as 2.5 litre and 3 litre.
Lots of them were turbo charged and went rather well. I owned 6 or 7 Cressida's GLi 6 models from the 1980-90's when they were nearer to new and they were excellent cars too.
Certain models of Toyota Crowns had em too as well as other smaller bodied Toyota's/Lexus in various forms.
Nissan also produced heaps of 2 litre 6 cylinder cars back aways and Holden Commodore used both 2 litre and 3 litre Nissan built 6 cylinder engines in the VL series cars.
Plenty of 2 litre 6 cylinder cars out there still, where have you been intrade?
Even Mercedes Benz & BMW made 6 cylinder engines around the 2+ litre size for many years with enviable success. BMW 320 and Mercedes 220S & SE W111cars at 2195cc size.
