Daihatsu Storia Touring 1.3L 5-Speed Manual K3-VE2 M101S 57,000km

This is a 2002 Daihatsu Storia in the rare Touring grade (model M101S, engine K3-VE2, 1.3L gasoline, 5-speed manual, 2WD, 5-door hatchback, 5-seat). Odometer shows 57,000km, stated as actual mileage. Seller notes no accident/repair history and no maintenance record book on file; vehicle inspection (shaken) has lapsed. Sold as-is, current condition handover, with the car already temporarily deregistered and transfer documents included. The Touring grade uses a high-octane engine, dedicated suspension plus rear stabilizer, quicker steering ratio, larger brakes, and unique seats, giving it a noticeably different feel from the standard CX grade or early VE2 cars. The seller notes the stock final gear ratio feels a bit tall and suggests changing it if rebuilding the differential. A copy of the transmission service manual can be included for the winning bidder. Seller states the car runs, steers, and brakes fine, and having owned over ten Storia/Duet cars, believes this one retains more power feel than typical due to low mileage (K3 engines lose power over time from piston ring wear). Underbody rust is minimal and air conditioning works.

Exterior has fading, dents, and scratches and is described as not great; interior is said to be clean for its age aside from peeling chrome backing on the rear-view mirror. Tires are the original type with at least 60% tread remaining, and underbody rust is minimal.
