    Im far from a motor expert so just looking for some advice on the dangers of buying a second hand car that was previously a taxi? Looking to buy a second hand avensis and I know they're a very common taxo so just wondering what should I look out for. Thanks in advance.

    Do you want an ex Taxi? You'd pick up an Avensis (if that's what you have your heart set on) that wasn't an ex Taxi for handy money too :)

    Any further details on what you're looking for?

    No I'm not looking out for an ex taxi at all, I'm looking for an avensis that's preferbly not an ex taxi. Just wanted to know what to be wary of. I've an 01 Toyota Corolla 3 door hatchback myself with only 56000 miles on it which I'm trying to sell at the moment. Hoping to get an 04/05 avensis for no more than 4k!
