LEXUS/TOYOTA'S Being Imported

Dunkie · August 31, 2003

Gah why didnt I know this before I bought my lex? lol

so tempted to sell mine to my brother at a little loss to get one of these :D

That first one is so nice .......

Froomer · August 31, 2003

My brother has bought an S2000 from one of thease auctions.

He had to spend a few quid getting it to pass the SVA test.

1 - Have the speedo changed to MPH

2 - Front lights changed

3 - Fog lights added

Also sometimes the tyres need to be changed for UK spec.

Monster-Mat · August 31, 2003

All it costs for an ESVA package is approx £500

why would the front lights need changing.....japan and the uk are both RHD

fog lights yes understand that.....and speedo, but the speedo is a resistor with 3 wires thats all

dunkie..get in touch mate :winky:

Supra-340....

May I enquire if its poss to find the smaller Jap cars too?

I'm looking at the poss of getting a small runabout (Micra/Yaris) to collect the dinks in the supermarket and sundry other car parks instead of my Lexus.I know they are abundant in the UK but I just wondered what sort of bang you got for the buck in Japan, espec if they have more recent models/better specs!

thanks,

Buzz.

Monster-Mat · September 4, 2003

uzz, i will look for you..do you know what these cars are called in Japan

Fidgits · September 4, 2003

The Yaris is known as the Vitz (I think)

Canter · September 4, 2003

hmmm.

I like the modellista (or Qualitat or how ever its called) front bumper.

But that little piece of plastic is damn expensive

Buzz · September 4, 2003

Thanks for looking for me :D . Sorry,I dont know what these things are called in Japan,I'm just interested in a small "shopping trolley"/school run car to hack about in.

My son is here telling me to go for a very late yr of Pulsar GTi-R!...Wishful thinking?

(He reckons he'll get whatever it is after me.)Ha.

Cheers,

Buzz.

Monster-Mat · September 5, 2003

thers plenty of models of Yaris in japan, but there all auto's

still intrested

Buzz · September 5, 2003

Dunno...whats the typical spec/age/price /mileage like? :duh:

Cheers,

Buzz.

Monster-Mat · September 5, 2003

Matt,

Matt

Can you have a look for some Celica GT4's for me please. I am intrested in ones that already have modifications and one with about 300-400 BHP would be perfect.

Lexus Southampton told me that Lexus is going to be marketed under that name in Japan the country of its origin. This will help to knock the Toyota Altezza on the head and the only model will be a genuine Lexus marketed throughout the world.

ColinBarber · September 12, 2003

Lexus will launch in 2005. Probably at the same time as the new IS model. Now will the new IS be a Toyota or a Lexus?

Brian Berry · September 14, 2003

Thanks Colin information very useful.

According to local Lexus dealer the new IS will be made by Lexus and already plans are being worked out for all the dealerships to be entirely separate from Toyota that is up market Lexus showrooms.
