Hello!

 

Looking at a 2009 toyota matrix xrs manual transmission

Car comes from canada, it's all in KM.

Has 170k KM.... They want 5500$

Has some surface rust... Trying to upload pics, but can figure it out from my cel...

 

I don't mind the vehicle being in KMs, but not sure bout the surface rust.

Would this be a decent buy?

Will look to post pics...  

 

Thank you!

Unfortunately, the 09 XRS version of the Matrix is the one flavor of Matrix you SHOULD NOT buy. The XRS model has the 2.4 liter engine, which that year had major oil burning problems due to bad piston rings ( in Camry's and Scions of that year.too).

Look for one with the 1.8 engine (I'm enjoying mine!)

I checked on cargurus (yeah I know, probably not the best way to check) and all of them I saw that year with comparable mileage were a decent amount more than 5500 around here anyway (central KY).  I'd try to talk them down a bit but I think its a good buy if its mechanically sound. 

I cant see your pics because it says I don't have access, but if the frame and such is solid and nothing is rusted out I'd be tempted to get it.

If it passes a mechanical inspection, it would be a decent deal. At $4000, it would become a great deal in my opinion.

But definitely have a pro check it out prior to purchase.

Great car, basically a Corolla. They're even called a Corolla Verso in EU. Especially the manual, plenty of life left in it
