Variant; some variant command better price than other as they come with many amenities; i.e seats design-electronic-vacuum door(s)-MFS multifunction steering-panoramic roofs-electric seats-keyless go starter-wheels size: read the rear moniker AERA-S, X-T-L-G for instance. 2. Manufactured year; new third generation Estima/Previa/Tarago started in 2006-not really total makeover from last generation (2nd 2000-2003 [facelift] 2006) but rather mild. The newer model you have the pricier the price 3. Cylinder capacity; 2.4 vs 3.5 not that much BUT to avoid catastrophe to our pocket if not bank account please stay away from 3.5/3.0 (2nd gen). Resale value not great 4. Dealer; some dealer quoted lower that competitors. This is understandable as some have bigger overheads, less volume etc. 5. Negotiation: if your tougher in negotiation you can beat the SA. MY 2 CENT: go for less pricey model with newer manufacturing year. Shop around and the price normally from RM170k+ for 2006 ACR50 model. They're two types of bumpers (three if you include Hybrid). Now is buyer market, thus use your discretion wisely.
