2009 Gen 1 used Toyota Fortuner buying guide | Half Price Heroes |

[@evoIndia]

Have any more questions regarding a used Toyota Fortuner? Let us know down below.

[@pranayparkhe480]

Service at every 5k isn’t that harsh

[@indianrc]

1:00 The later versions of the 1st gen Fortuner also came with the 2.5L turbo diesel.

[@rajeshpurigella]

Wanted to buy a Fortuner in 2022 but ended up with a Mahindra Scorpio sle instead because if you compare both cars year to year the price difference is 50%! 12 lakh (Fortuner) vs 6 lakh (Scorpio) This ballpark is for well maintained cars. Scorpio is also a really reliable vehicle in its own right. It doesn't have the same appeal as the fortuner but it would definitely give you the bang for buck if you know which car to look for. IMHO always try to go with a single owner Vehicle. Just my thoughts for those who want a ladder frame SUV cheaper than an Alto K10. Why don't you guys make a segment on Mahindra Scorpio?

[@surajpatil6924]

This is probably the most beautiful title I have ever seen in a decade ! Half price heros ! Very nice content aswell ...

[@vfrfandom3904]

Make one Pajero Sport used Buying Guide as it seems likeable option against Fortuner half its price

[@Poorvikss]

Pajero is also indestructible 💪 Strong internals

[@AmanVerma0272]

You can watch the Gone but not forgotten episode on the Pajero, might give you some perspective.

[@vedantdeshpande8474]

Nah.. No spare parts. Worthless

[@kanencrypted6315]

Problem procuring spare part, usually found at 1.5-2x mrp due to low demand

[@Poorvikss]

@@vedantdeshpande8474 don't worry about spare it's not a 'BMW'🤣

[@Man94544]

The team who made this video on this legendary car deserve a salute.

[@evoIndia]

Appreciate your kind words

[@ShriramRane0490]

Vehicle health certificate after 15yrs is required. That part could also be added.

[@len.dsa88]

Thanks

[@vedantdeshpande8474]

Problem only in north India, rest states can do a 5 year fitness increment easily

[@SuhasShandilya]

Not going to lie, this is an amazing deep dive of used cars. Kudos folks

[@evoIndia]

[@satviktiwari0003]

Xuv500 plzz Also please mention that at what kilometer range would be perfect for buying the car which you are featuring

[@WEDRIVEINDIA]

Right after I finished an almost 500 kilometers on one and watching this video at night after reaching the destination. What a life. 😂

[@len.dsa88]

Awesome 👌 Thanks for watching

[@palma123_jaat]

1:09 there was also another engine on offer for India, the 2KD-FTV VGT, basically the OG Innova's 2.5 litre diesel engine with 145 bhp instead of 105.

Can I just say this gen is the best looker apart from a Scorpio classic and a G wagon

[@adinanpp1283]

Thank you so much team evo🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@len.dsa88]

Thanks for watching

[@ashleysequeira1674]

Pretty comprehensive review..thnx

[@TheDoctorBoy]

My personal opinion if you’re open to other options is to consider a SsangYong Rexton RX7. I bought a 2nd hand one around 3 years back and it’s amazing, and even though I have other premium cars, my family loves the rexton like a favourite child. Bought it at around 40K kms, now after 3 years crossed 1.1L kms. The build quality is top notch. The maintenance cost is similar to an entry level premium car like the benz C class, which is not much for what it offers. You can get all the parts for it in your local Mahindra parts dealer, and it’s usually imported by them from South Korea if they don’t have stock, which usually takes less than 2 weeks time. The car is so comfortable and way more comfortable than the fortuners stiff and bumpy ride. The rexton is an underrated gem, maybe because people aren’t familiar about the brand, it’s basically a South Korean car with Mercedes benz internals (based on the old ML) Just like any car, always get the cleanest example if you’re buying one and service it regularly and it is built to last.

[@sabnisga]

Really informative and well made 👌👌👌

[@evoIndia]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@manojsagolsem]

Please do video on used toyota yaris sedan

[@adityarajsingh01]

Could you please make a video regarding used Škoda / VW cars ❤

[@evoIndia]

Sure, we shall be doing that soon.

[@hmmmm9327]

I have a different query. As the GOI banned diesel vehicles of 10 years in Delhi. Will the suit be followed in Maharastra ? Preferably in Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur ? Do you have any firm info about this ? These half price heroes are too lucrative/heart-pullers to ignore. Also I don't want to waste 7 lacs on a vehicle which is hanging on the last thread. Sadly, I have to hire new age innovas for every trip with the same money i reserved for such possessions.

[@len.dsa88]

There is no news of a diesel ban in Maharashtra, but I understand your apprehension. Thanks for watching

[@hmmmm9327]

@len.dsa88 not now. It's just past monsoon. But AQI worsens in these cities after feb-mar. Also the NGT takes hapazard decisions. Then there's GRAP graded response action plan

[@vishalk17503]

Didn't it also come with a 2.5l 140 bhp engine?

[@kapilsagar7108]

It was available here too.

[@WEDRIVEINDIA]

Yes, funnily it was called Fortuner Sport. 😂

[@Judas637]

Make one on PAJERO please

[@manavmishra9071]

All you need is Toyota ❤

[@jattboy2043]

Or ISUZU

[@surajpatil6924]

Please make similar videos on XUV 500 Safari Storme Safari Dicor Pajero ... etc What all scenarios for buying used prices, spares, services...etc (above old school SUVs)

[@jattboy2043]

Most reliable car is the ISUZU MUX 3.0, you will get this cheap and that 4jj1 is indestructibel and tuneable too.MUX is larger in size as compared to fortuner (check the dimensions). The moment you go to Australia, South East Asia, Bakkies of SA, i realised ISUZU is the real darkhorse which delivers at par with toyota but underated.

[@omgoswami2830]

Isn't this 2nd gen?

[@rajeshpurigella]

Wanted to buy a Fortuner in 2022 but ended up with a Mahindra Scorpio sle instead because if you compare both cars year to year the price difference is 50%! 12 lakh (Fortuner) vs 6 lakh (Scorpio) This ballpark is for well maintained cars. Scorpio is also a really reliable vehicle in its own right. It doesn't have the same appeal as the fortuner but it would definitely give you the bang for buck if you know which car to look for. IMHO always try to go with a single owner Vehicle. Just my thoughts for those who want a ladder frame SUV cheaper than an Alto K10.

[@sayandas5587]

What's the rule? What after it reaches 15 years?

[@ayushverma70]

renew fitness by 5 years at a time

[@tharun72]

1st gen Fortuner values after this video : 📈 📈 📈 📈

[@QERTYGT12345]

This is facilitated one ..

[@akm...]

Make a video on dicor and storme also

[@evoIndia]

Sure, thanks for the suggestion

[@clincevarghese5974]

u r from heaven

[@Drawingchallenge4915]

Car is good but expensive to maintain, although Head Turner mileage can get 9 sometimes even 7 per litre good space bumpy on roads not a city vehicle rest is amazing

[@shrikrishnaawasthi9736]

What about 15 years fitness policy in India after that you have to scrap it so better go for new petrol cars or just use Public Transports and Taxis in India because nothing can recover the cost after scrapping it in just 15 years.

[@jithinraj7656]

We have a yamaha RX for 38 years. Just timely FC and maintenance is sufficient

[@shrikrishnaawasthi9736]

@jithinraj7656 They stopped extending fitness in Delhi NCR after NGT and Supreme court orders For diesels it's strictly 10 years and for petrol 15 years after that jai shree ram, PMO's SPG applied for fitness extension of its Costly Bulletproof SUVs in the name of National Security but NGT and Court denied... Rest of India I think it's still happening if you have vehicles in Good Condition

[@gokulkrishna4456]

These cars , maybe long lasting, no doubt but can be really expensive to keep up . Old pajero sports , fortuner or endeavour, it is common problem. Also vehicle older than 15 won't be allowed on roads so spending won't be wise. Anyway it is individual choice.

[@jeyurdesai4791]

Just one question, is this one for sale? 😅

[@evoIndia]

No, this particular Fortuner is not for sale.

[@subratamandal5202]

How can one buy a 2009 model Fortuner in 2025? It has already exceeded it's lifespan of 15 years.

[@len.dsa88]

As long as the fitness test is done, it can be renewed every 5 years

[@subratamandal5202]
