Finally, we decide to purchase Toyota ALPHARD . Purchase from Netz Toyota at Yokohama ( 6 Nov 2010). Since we are `Nihongo Wakaranai`, so terpaksa bring someone who speak Japanese. Thank to Zul Lat sbb sudi tolong kitorg. Kalau ko terbaca blog aku nie, thank you very very very much...
We got the car from Car Sensor.net. From the pic, its look fine. The specs:
1. ALPHARD 2.4 V AX L edition 2004
2. Color : Light Green Silver Metallic
3. Mileage : 33,000 km
4. Superb Exterior & Interior Condition (4.5 stars out of 5)!
6. No history repair (accident free)
7. One owner
8. Warranty from Toyota dealer minimum 1 year which can be expanded to 3 years (option)
First time see the car, WOW!! unbelievable.... look new for me... the body did not have any scratch from naked eye,interior floor, very very clean... ALHAMDULILLAH dapat jugak good condition 7 years used car.
Drive test, OK no noticeable problem. Rasa bangga gak la sbb first time driving Alphard nie. Tak sangka can have an Alphard myself..hehehehe.After drive test, terus bincang dgn dealer and booking first. 100,000 yen downpayment/booking. Fuh..lega dah booking.
Oh forget, the total price for my first toyota. Car price + others
1,239,000 yen + 106,140 yen = 1,345,140 yen (within our budget)
We are very very very super lucky to get this fine car with this car and from toyota dealer!!! Alhamdulillah,syukur....
Wondering gak how can this car can come cheap?? Anything wrong? Ask the dealer, dealer said they can sell this car with this price because this car is trade in car. And when they receive the car, the car is in good condition, nothing to repair and replace. Thats why the maintanence cost is 0 yen. Alhamdulillah..berganda lucky kitorg...thanks ALLAH..
Waiting for my very first Jap car i ever have. Since live in Japan, my wife and me have decided to use her AP to import car from Japan after she completed her study. Already 1.5 years in Japan, 'berjimat' for buying a good 2nd hand Jap MPV and the time has come...hehehehe...SYUKUR, Alhamdulillah...
Our budget, car price plus others expenses (total OTR) must not be exceed 1,500,000 Yen. About RM50,000. We have our target MPVs....(ikut favourite aku sebenarnya)..hehe
1. TOYOTA ESTIMA 2.4 (ACR50W)
2. HONDA ODYSSEY 2.4 (RB1)
3. MAZDA MPV 23S (LY3P)
4. TOYOTA ALPHARD 2.4 (ANH10W)
Tapi bukan sebarangan specs, we want MPV which are within our budget and the most important...... no history repair (accident free), low actual mileage (below 40k km), with shaken and no engine problem. Susah gak to find. The searching is started through the conventional fashion, apa lagi!! from Yahoo Japan Auction la... The results...
Estima, beyond our budget (more than 1,500,000 Yen)....bye,bye Estima......
Odyssey, its OK but my wife seems does not like it cos not spacious..but i like it very much especially interior.Look it yourself, the finest MPV interior i ever see.....
Mazda MPV or Mazda 8 in Malaysia. Just enter Malaysia market and sold a new Mazda 8 for RM195,000.. Look `garang `.My wife love it. Spacious and new model in Malaysia, so that people barely can notice that we actually bring back from Japan...hahahaha...But for me, judge from outside, its fine but Mazda not famous in Malaysia, Toyota>VVTi, Honda>Vtec, Nissan>VTC, Mitsubishi>Mivec, Mazda>????......think yourself and plus NO VALUE at Malaysia (kereta sejuk!!)..haha
Alphard?? the oldest model compared to others. Look like a big van for me except the 2005 models and above. 2005 model very expensive and beyond our budget..So at first, Alphard out of competition for us already. As for Wish and Stream, not spacious and look like ordinary MPV...nothing special..hehehehe...
