After searching for UK 7 seaters for the past month, multiple let downs and negative experiences from supposed reliable car dealers I'm very close to forgetting the world of Alhambras, sharans, galaxy's and  picking up a 2011 Vellfire 3.5 from a fairly local importer. It looks stunning, low miles , good history. I'm not too concerned about mpg either with how it'll be used. 

Looking for an extra bit of reassurance before taking the plunge. So many of you seem delighted with them and the space would be fantastic for my large family. 

They look to be reliable, parts don't seem to hard to come by and this forum seems to have tips for anything that could possibly go wrong. 

 

Do I even need any more convincing? Is it time to officially join the club? 

If it's a reputable dealer, then yes. No hesitation. 

 

Go for it, I have been buying imports since 2007, much better appointed inside

Hi there!

Ours was 3 years in the UK with its one previous owner, one owner in Japan, we've had it a mere 4 months, but loving it.

We too had Galaxy's, and Grand Voyagers, this is far and above a better car.

Parts - so far, 🤞, the very few I've needed (front brakes and rear washer motor) - haven't been a problem for my local autofactors.

And the Amayama site is great for bits I wanted (but didn't need!)

Cheers! Nev
