In the old days, people go the parallel import Vellfire due to the dismal spec from Toyota Hong Kong. But now, I think they are on par and going with official Toyota in Hong Kong is safer.....

I had a Vellfire, parallel import. But be warned, most (if not all) of the parallel import dealers are very shady. I got my sales to write-down the specific manufacture year on the contract before I sign. And I still checked it to be a previous year manufactured vehicle. Luckily, there were no difference between the 2 manufacture years, otherwise, I will be quite p*ssed.

If I were to buy one now, I would go official. Back then when I bought, Toyota HK did not have Vellfire and their Alphard specs were terrible.

AsiaKid · 12-15-2012, 02:50 AM

oh very interesting and helpful..yes..a lot of the dealers are shady..how did u verify the year of manufacture?

but the vellfire now doesnt seem to have power captain chairs in 2nd row.

Get the Alphard with the First Class chairs instead.

Too much for a van. Do they still build those Alphard/Vellfire on the HIACE chasis?

Maybe should go for a Viano?

Keep the Z4 and buy a cheap van like Serena if you want to carry people. Only buy Alphard if you have a chauffeur like mlai where you can actually enjoy the captain seats.

Viano is not cheap either but Merc makes good trucks, not cars.

AsiaKid · 12-17-2012, 10:05 PM

I looked at the serena, stepwgn spada and also noah. The spada was the nicest out of them but feel too narrow inside and too little legroom for 2nd row. I will be using a driver most times and sometimes using myself for family/parents stuff..and so figured i'd be happier with the vellfire instead (otherwise I will just prob end up dumping the car for a vellfire in a few months anyway)

..ended up putting a deposit on a used vellfire...but now tryin to arrange DCH to do inspection so that its more thorough then just AA check. AA is ok for check i think, but in this case want them to check all the tiny details (dunno if thats the best place to do) ..feel free to suggest.
