hi all, I am buying a 2008 Alphard 2.4 next month. Can any of you please give me some idea of what exact model it is. Many thanks Ian.

Most likely 240S DBA-ANH20W...

 

Ask the seller to provide you a picture of the black label(as below) from the passenger door column. Additional label should be also under the bonnet.

Thanks nov 👍

You could also ask your vendor for a copy of the auction sheet.

 

The auction sheet will note mileage (in km) and what body blemishes it has, or had before retouching.

 

 

This is a recent import so the dealer should be able to supply the auction sheet.

Handy to have.

 

Also, if the car is carrying a warranty by the AA, ask for a copy of their survey report.

Check the leather upholstery carefully as repairs are expensive.

 

I paid the AA £300 for a pre purchase inspection.

Nothing of note was found, but it was worth the value for the reassurance all was in order.

 

Somewhere on this forum, I forget where, there is a link to a Japanese company that can provide the full history of the vehicle, if you want it, all for about £22.

 

Welcome to the Alphard fraternity.

Got the answer , it's a 240s premium. All toys and whistles, Happy now😀 can't wait to pick it up, awaiting on bloody DVLA.
