Buying Advice: Toyota Mark X 250 o r Toyota Crown Royal 2001/3

Hi all members on the forum.
I planning to buy a Mark X 250G o r Toyota Crown 2001/2003 2.0 o r 2.5 Variants
Lemme brief u about me scenario:
1. Im currently driving a 1.6 Altis 2017 model that I purchased brand new in Jan 2017.
2. My current requirement is that I need an spare compact car for my family, for which I dont have any budget , so I want to sell my Altis and buy 2 cars out of it.
3. The idea is to sell my Altis, buy a Mark X 2005/6 o r Crown 2001/3 for myself, and also finance a 660 japanese car for my spouse downpayment for that is to be made from the sales of my Altis.
4. Since Im going to use the Mark X o r Crown for my daily office commutes etc, I want advice from actual users: What is better, a Mark X 2005/2006 o r a Crown 2001/2003 based on maintenance, fuel average etc.
5. Please dont recommend other cars o r other older generations of crown.
I want to buy the car by the end of this year. Kindly pass your opinions and suggestions that will help me a lot. Thanks in advance.

A clean markx will cost almost as much as your Altis..... You can buy abused cars for 2 mil o r under.
Both the cars have a slow resale but a steady one, if the vehicle that you buy is clean and with maintenance history, it will sell without an issue.
Also a major thing that you are overlooking, your Altis has everything available at end of your finger tips, this will have everything available in scrapyards, and if you buy a cheap lemon, you will cry your heart out with it
