Looks a lot like mine, 2006 was the last Wagon in Oz, so good pick up.
Just about all of the wagons rear struts are well & truely dead by 160,000kms, ie when you push them down they don't come back up.....So when you rock the steering wheel side to side at 40km/hr the car will pitch & yaw all over the place.
If you are mechanically capable, suggest doing all 4 struts with KYB Excel G's it does not cost much & it will handle so much better.
Front Lower Control Arm Rear Bushes (the large circular ones) will start to crack/tear from 250,000kms replace by nominal 320,000kms.
Agree the boot space is fantastic in the Wagon &
Mid 2005 onwards has Flyby Wire Throttle Body, if you clean your throttle body & have OBDII, the resting position should be 14.1
The red silicon inlet manifold gasket mentioned on this forum fits & would be worth doing by 250,000kms, your idle will become smoother
If you pick up a genuine rear boot carpet it quietens the Wagon down road noise wise as does having the retractable cargo blind over the boot in place.
IMO the Ascent seats are more comfortable than the Conquest seats.
If Toyota imported the new 1.8lt non hybrid wagon into Oz I'd buy one.
