New owner checking in

Hi all, I've just bought a freshly imported 2015 Estima and thought I should come say hello. It's my first Toyota for a while, the last one I had was a Mk1 MR2, white with black interior. God I loved that little car! 

The Estima is still being prepped, put through the IVA, etc, so in meantime here's a picture of my old MR2  :)

Hello Alan - welcome to Toyota Owners Club.

Hi Alan Welcome,lots of good advice when you need it and always welcome when you give it. Did you import the car yourself.

Thanks! No, the car was imported by a dealer. It was literally just out of the container when I saw it, still covered in dust! So all the import steps still need to be done. But it was exactly the spec I was after, so a bit of dust didn't put me off.

Hi Alan,

How did you find the process of the import, I am sure it would be of interest to  members who may be interested in importing and your experience would be helpful. 👍

Sorry, I wasn't very clear - the dealer is doing all the import work, not me. I just meant the car was freshly imported and hasn't had all the paperwork done yet - IVA, registration, etc.
