Some quick Qs

- how many previous owners in Japan please,
- service history in Japan
- are the mileage/Kms warranted?
- any declared accident history or repairs?
- any likely insurance challenges in the UK?
- annual road tax

Thank you, i have never purchased a Japanese import before hence the Qs
Awesome car for sure!

Hey there,

Dont know on how many owners in Japan, it doesn't appear on the UK V5 so it doesn't really matter?
There is Japanese service history with it, but its only done 9500 miles so 1 service.
I have the Japanese auction sheet showing the mileage but nothing is warranted, condition of the car is very very good though so mileage would reflect this.
Its a non accident car.
You'd have to find out insurance quotes and road tax is like a UK car of this age/type.

Thanks!

I was really lusting after this, then my wife came out with "you forget how old you are" 😭 I'm 72!

I really enjoy my GR-Yaris. I’m 78 in December!

Evening
Can you tell me who imported the car ? Was it a company or yourself ?
Great car BTW . I had the GR Yaris on a 70 plate but sold it unfortunately ..
Cheers

Hi there,

Can you change the mileage to miles?

Does it have parking sensors

Does it have adjustable suspension

Thanks

Great looking car 👍😎

Speedo reads in MPH and no parking sensors.

There isn't any UK cars of this age/type.

And tax, insurance group etc depends on the SVA test and DVLA registration.

How about you state the UK car tax for this car. And the insurance group. Thanks.

The V5C states it taxed as PLG so is tax £360 per year? Or more for first few years ?

And yes the number of Japan owners does matter to some, regardless of what the V5C says. Do you have this information?

Speaking of V5C.
The V5C doesn't state the engine number. Do you know why ?
