.
the word altezza is Italian; meaning HIGHNESS!
It was a beautiful morning, with that cold weather of last days of June 2011, around 7:30 in the morning as I was walking up the dusty paths of Morogoro Municipality when I first saw this one up close. it was the 2003 model of Toyota Altezza parked opposite Shani Building. the feeling I got was just so amaizing that I never let go up to now, infact, the dreams have been there in my mind ever since...
As you know, this is a 4 door sedan that looks rather sporty, specially segmented for young and upcoming professionals, but (and this is a big but) ANYONE CAN DRIVE THIS BEAST.
Toyota made this car in 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004; so we have five(6) generations of this car and lucky enough; Altezza is specifically made to take in 2.0litres (2000cc) fuel in a round (displacement), all models are powered by a petrol engine.
there is no actual engine difference in all these models except for gearbox since some run automatic and others manual, while some of these beasts drive at 4 gears others are positioned at six.
i went into trouble of looking up for pricing and calculating how much it will cost you for a standard one;
here is the breakdown
Year: 2003
FOB: $1650
shipping and insurance: $1050
taxation according to TRA calculator: $3007
total: $5707
with exchange rate of TShs1585 for $1 it comes to TShs 9,045,595
i also feel it is wise to display the monster himself over here..
