customer feedback

I just wanted to inform you last friday I picked up the car from MJR Auto Centre. Thank you for all your hard work, the car is better than I ever expected. Can't praise you enough how straight forward you have made importing cars. Thank you.

The J-Spec Mileage Promise

Speedo tampering is rife in the Australian market to the point where more imports than not sold by Australian dealers have had their mileage wound back. See how importing yourself easily avoids this pitfall.

Importing the Nissan's hybrid Note e-Power is now possible!

Toyota Alphard (10 series)

The Toyota Alphard was released in Japan in 2002 and has been Japan's best selling people mover for several years. A slightly larger, more luxurious alternative to Toyota's Estima/Tarago, the Alphard features the same 2.4L and 3.0L engines with 4 or later model 5 speed automatic transmission. These engine variants are shared with locally available Camrys, RAV4's, Avalons and Taragos, so parts are readily available.

Features on these models can include:

Multiple airbags
ABS brakes
Traction control
Brake assist
Electronic Braking Distribution
Dual zone climate control
Dual sunroofs
Radar cruise control
Smart key
Dual power doors
Front and rear parking cameras
Cruise control
Parking sensors
Lane departure warning system
Power curtains
CD player/stacker
Power folding mirrors
Keyless entry
Steering wheel controls
Sport/soft adjustable suspension
Multi illumination interior lights
Front and rear fold down display screen
Split folding rear chairs

Due to quirks with our import laws the Alphard is only importable if it has wheelchair access/mobility features, however if you want one for regular passenger use this is still possible, with the side lift up chair variants being just like a regular passenger van but with a slightly bulkier base to the seat that is not particularly noticeable.

I want an Alphard as a regular passenger vehicle and don't care about wheelchair access features.

In this case a front or second row powered side lift up chair is recommended. With the chair in its normal position it is just like a regular seat with a slightly larger base being the only difference between this model and a regular one

I want an Alphard to be used as a disability vehicle with a power fold out seat for wheelchair access

In this case there are variants available which feature a powered seat which folds out to wheelchair height outside of the car, and then back into the cabin in a normal seating position. The seat can either be part of the car meaning transfer from a wheelchair to the car seat is necessary, or a wheelchair which is designed to also be the car seat can be used. This power foldout seat can either occupy the front passenger seat (in an 8 seater configuration) or as the second row passenger side seat, in a 7 seater configuration.

I want an Alphard to be used as a disability vehicle with a sloped ramp for wheelchair access

The factory Alphard sloper vehicles allow wheelchair access via the rear of the car with a power fold out ramp, and the rear suspension of the vehicle lowers on suspension airbags to reduce the ramp angle. Access from the rear can either be to the second row, passenger side seat's position where the wheel chair can then be locked in place, or the wheelchair can take the position where the third row of seats normally rests. With the ramp folded away the third row of seats can be folded down and used as per normal.

MODEL LINEUP

Any 2.4L or 3.0L model with factory (Toyota option) disability features are importable with either a front left side lifting chair, second row left side lifting chair, or folding "sloper" rear ramp access, with air suspension to ease the wheel chair ramp angle of access.
