Hi all!
I own a 2003 Qualis and am interested in ownership reviews of people who own these tried and tested workhorses.
My own car has done over 1.45,000 kms. and is in perfect running condition.
I was recently offered 3.60 lacs by the Toyota dealership for it as it is in IMMACULATE condition. (i'm not selling)
I will put up pics as soon as i've figured out how to upload them.
We also have a Range Rover TDV8, Pajero SFX, Sonata v6, Swift vdi, and a Scorpio M-Hawk but the Qualis is the one that provides most satisfaction and peace of mind.
So guys anything and everything you may have to contribute on the Qualis would be welcome!
When i had first laid eyes on the Qualis i thought to myself "why would anyone design such and ugly car and why would anyone buy them?"
Their increasing numbers on the road continued to mystify me till the day that we got our own..the story goes..
In late 2003 my Astra's engine blew up for the third time. It was a 1999 model 1.7 turbo diesel and had been plagued with problems from day one..and i mean DAY 1.
I had already spent a fortune over the years having it repaired time and again and was tired of throwing my money in the bottomless pit that was the Astra's maintinence.
We were in the process of buying a Qualis for the factory staff when the Astra was sent to the Opel workshop for another fortnight long stay.
Since i needed a car in the meantime it was decided that i would drive te Qualis till the Astra came back.
I was averse to the idea at first as i had not even seen the insides of the Qualis until then.
The first day i drove it it was late evening on the 1st of January 2004, the day after it arrived from the showroom. (i had not even bothered to go take delivery!)
Todays date is 24th of February 2009 and i have driven my "dhanno" over 1,45,000 hassle free kilometers!
Needless to say my factory staff are not holding their breath in anticipation of the elusive Qualis that was supposed to be delivered to them all those years ago!!
