Hello from London
in Alphard Club Members Introductions
Posted
Hi all,
I am based in Sutton, London. Hello to you.
My interest in importing an Alphard/Vellfire directly from Japan began after watching a YouTube video by Matt Watson and a few Alphard review videos by JayEmm. I haven’t yet bought one.
Since my interest began, I have been seeing more Alphard (or equivalent models from other brands) on the road. I think this vehicle segment is under served in the UK. Unlike the SUV segment that is overcrowded.
I am interested in a post-2012 Alphard / Vellfire with ottoman seats and 4WD. I want to travel the UK with my family in comfort. I am sure the vast space could come handy for other applications too. I want to have reliability that Toyota is known for. I am aiming to keep one for a long time so repair ability is very important for me. Modern EVs are not repairable.
I would love to hear from anyone who directly imported an Alphard. I am uneasy about buying a second hand car unseen and any tips to avoid buying a dud would be appreciated!
Happy motoring
