Toyota Tarago XR 30 (2000-2006) Questions & Answers

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that model Tarago - I don't know the answer to your question: but in Australia I think most cars now have a yellow coloured grip at the engine oil dipstick: Cheers

I never leave my car to low petrol but I think last tme I left it near (a long time ago) I put 58 litres of petrol.

In an older, high Kms, vehicle, price is all about condition and what you are prepared to compromise on. Does a minor dint or tear in seat matter? Does it have good service history? How much are you prepared to spent on foreseen and unforeseen repairs? That price is in the range is all I could say.
I am now just owning my 3rd Tarago a 2008 ACR50 after owning a 1990 TCR10 and then a 2001 ACR30. Each was was purchased at around 200k km and the first 2 driven for around 100k km before selling a still respectable vehicle.
Tips: Never cheat on the basics #1 Look after the cooling system. Keep up the good quality coolant. I changed the radiator in each (twice on the TCR10 as it seemed to block up quickly then not cope with very hot Perth days) #2 Look after the oil. Keep it topped up, Change it & Filter regularly. The ACR30 apparently can get sludge buildup in the sump which blocks the mesh oil pickup. Makes a shocking noise, surges at the lights your heart sinks as you think the engine is dead, as it almost is. A good mechanic sorted it out and 60k km later no more problems. The ACR50 has the same engine ??.

Gregs answer is 'spot on'. The only thing I'll add is that parts can be expensive, especially if you buy genuine. My Tarago is a 2006 modle with 130k on the clock. Always serviced and drives better than most cars I have ever owned.

change to an earlier model 2003 gli suits us picked it up cheap as th owner wanted a sportier car kids hav grown up

To your model new and better spark plugs, injector cleaner every tankful and if that dont work get a can of start ya [censored word removed] and spray into th air filter inlet best advice is get it to a mechanic for a tuneup and check over lol

They tune them self up 1/2 hours up the hi way but u need to get a diagnostic tester to plug in to your computer under front passenger seat good luck, if tune up no good plug in diagnostic tester go straight to problem fix and drive to atomic tune

yes they can BUT better springs and shockies see a suspension specialist
