New member picks up his Vellfire

[Garryt007]

Toyota Vellfire 350G 2013 

Well, I finally picked up my first Toyota Vellfire, Pearl white, 350G 3.5 V6 with 63000 miles, the L package with executive additions of the captains chair's middle row with cooled and heated seats and arm controls. The interior is a very nice twin tone beige leather affair.

I have to say Naeem at the Japanese MPV Specialists at Uxbridge warrants a special mention, they were brilliant and Naeem extremely helpful, after me undertaking many visits to other importers of these fine cars, which proved a lot of very poor one's particular suspect practises, who I will be reporting to trading standards.

As the guidance on this forum I did my homework, and carried out Auto Check and Car VX car reports and as mine had been registered in UK since March 2023 a HPI as well. All were clear of any issues. I have the original auction report, the Japanese service book and manuals all I cannot read just the service dates and mileage that aligns with the Auto Reports.

I had the car AA inspected full report and only issue was the windscreen jets needed adjusting that is it. 

Japanese MPY Specialists did a full service with original Toyota parts, replaced all filters including pollen filters, and did a full underseal of the car. They even replaced the rear suspension bushes as just a matter of cause regardless because they have found on some cars this has been an issue.

I will look forward to meeting up with other Alphard and Vellfire members when the first gatherings and meets start to appear.

Thanks again to forum members who gave some very good advice.

PS I did not pay the ticket price as after a short negotiation a fair and reasonable price was agreed and paid.

I agree, Naeem, at Japanese MPV in Uxbridge, is very knowledgeable on Alphards.

 

Full disclosure.

 

I bought my MZ G there. I was so pleased with it I didn't even try to haggle on the price.

 

I would not hesitate to recommend his company, first class vehicles, very knowledgeable and courteous service.
