- Do dealers have to provide auction/export certificates? If it is missing, is it a problem? maybe, sometimes they forge the documents. (rare occasion) However it will give a detail list of the vehicle state.
- How much did you pay for your road tax? Do you get any subsidy for hybrid versions at all? most vehicles are the same tax bracket I pay £240 ish a year for a 3L 2003 model.
- Insurance: How much did it cost you on average? for me its £400 a year but thats because i've got 5 years no claims only.
- I live in Islington Council in London. Their parking permit goes by Co2 emission. Does anyone have a model report on 2007 Alphards 2.4L engine for me to refer to for permit applications? Or to advice them on this? (https://www.islington.gov.uk/parking/parking-permits/parking-permit-costs-table) sorry can't help on that one.
- Would you recommend changing the speedometer and/or odometer? there are simple kits to change from KPH to MPH but most importers can do this for you.
- I am considering converting this Alphard to a camper at some point - any particular garage you recommend for this? there are a few. i'll leave that for someone else who's had it done.
- How often should you service it and can you just bring it to any garage? when you get it have a full service done including underseal.
- Parts - how easy are they to find should things go wrong and can you use other Toyota equivalents? You can get Toyota direct to send them or use an app called autodoc on android or ios store. you put in your vehicle model and it will show all the parts.
