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

I am new to this forum, and now in the market of considering buying a Toyota Alphard 3.5 V6 L or a Vellfire 350 G with business seating (captains chairs middle row). I been to 3 dealerships so far and I have been rather disappointed with there experience of the cars they are selling. I have read the guidance note on the forum page and must commend you for providing this to members as it has lots of good advice. I thought I had found the perfect car at one of the dealers, the right colour, the right spec, condition. I had inspected it and it drove nicely, and the price was fair. All appeared good until I ran a Auto Check on the car and found the auction sheet provided within the advert had been doctored. The dealer was surprised to learn this and went away and immediately confirmed the sheet had been changed, he acted immediately to change the advert but now the relationship is somewhat tainted. The original sheet was found in the car documents and I am sure he will look into how the sheet was amended. Oh dear, someone is not going to be happy! The point is it remains a risky business if the dealership's themselves do not do their homework and check the documentation. I really like to hear from those members that have had similar experiences and a short list of importers/dealers that one can have confidence in, I yet to find one, still searching!.
