Upgraded Cars! Any Side Effect? by Samakus(m): 12:49pm On Dec 20, 2020
Hi guys.

I usually see adverts about upgraded cars. For example, a 2008 Toyota Spider maybe upgraded to 2015 model. What are the disadvantages or side effects of such upgrade? Any benefit too aside one having an old model car looking like latest model?

The car doesn't look original again, and it looks defective

Just body works. 08 spider (Camry) cannot be upgraded to 2015 though. The bodyshells are not the same.

I also suspect that a lot of tokunbo cars that are advertised as upgraded were actually damaged vehicles. The dealers decided to go for the body upgrade in the process of repairing them.

For the bolded, I was giving an instance.


I share in your views. I kinda fear for upgraded cars. Hence this thread. Needed experts to clear my fears
