What do you think of this imported Toyota Auris?

I am thinking of buying a Toyota Auris 1.4 petrol with 36,000 miles on the odometer. It is a UK import and the seller is asking in the region of €9,000. Do you think I should buy this car?

Hi Peter,

It depends on the year and service history to be honest but it sounds ok from here. Make sure you know the ins and outs of importing the car though. Has the seller paid the VRT yet? Has it been properly re-registered? Worth doing a thorough history and background check too, on any car, with Cartell.ie, but especially a UK import.
