You need to ensure your target is not a lemon or neglected car from the current owner.

Any particular reason why 2003 model? 1.6 or 1.8? I have no reason not to like my 2006 altis 1.8.
The car has been super reliable and never miss a beat. Ownership experience has been great so
far. Its truly a car for all walks of life. Other cars may come and go but this car just soldiers on. No
regrets.

There is no reported case of such problem in Malaysia yet, but UMW Toyota Motor will carry out corrective action at no cost on the owners. However, the timing for this recall is rarely seen, as cars of this age will be hitting the used car market, and airbag is said to expire around 10 years.
Please share this news around to your friends and family. Both models are very popular a decade ago and I'm sure it can be easily found in someone's parking garage.

both has same VVTI engine with timing chain and 4 speed auto transmission that is reliable and long lasting, all disc brakes and that spacious cabin and boot.
this is one reason it is holding its value rather better than a Volvo S60 of the sameg age which packs more technologies and better to drive.

Changed for both sides. Including labour, the total cost is slightly more than RM1000.
This is what it looks like. It comes complete with wheel hub and ABS sensor. That's why it costs so much.
After 10 years the insurance is subject to loading. Plus 15%.
