How much to import my Toyota from the Middle East?
Hello, hoping this query finds you well. I am SO happy to find a site like this :) (especially for those women among us who aren't the most clued up on all car issues)
I'm hoping to be moving back home early mid summer 2015 and am hoping to bring my SUV with me... if it's financially feasible to do so. I'd be importing it from where we bought it in the Middle East in 2008 (2009 model). It's a Toyota Fortuner GX2 2.7 five-door petrol - I can't find exact or approximate costs for a VRT band on this, what road tax be like for it or get online insurance quotes for it either, so am wondering if you could throw any light on this for me please, as I'd rather avoid the case of some possible nasty shocks by doing my homework from now on this.
Many thanks for any advice at all. Rosemarie, from Cork.

Are the lights in the Toyota Auris weak?
Are the beams very short on dipped headlights in the 2008 Toyota Auris? I find it difficult to drive in country area at night. Should there be a certain wattage in dipped headlights?

How do I know the year a car was actually made?
How does one know if the new car you're buying is actually new to that year? I've heard there's a possibility the car could be from a year previous, but the dealer didn't register it (thus making a 2014 car sell as a 2015 car).
Thanks for your help
