Moderators PTR200S Posted June 12, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 If the advert is to be believed then just getting an exhaust sorted 🙃😉🙄 should put it on the road.

Wolfie Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Well i've given up my search for an Elysion mainly because I can't find the spec i'm after so my attention has turned to an Odyssey. I viewed this one yesterday and it seems perfect, ran nice and smoothly and everything worked. It needs a new battery, undersealing and a fresh MOT. Am i correct in thinking these are chain driven https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353535682645? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted July 28, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 That looks to be a nice one but I would be crawling all over it with a fine toothcombe just to be sure it's what you want. Presume this is the 2.4 / four pot? You say you can't find an Elysion in the spec you want ? Have you asked an importer to find one for you?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Yes it's a 2.4. I spent quite a bit of time there Sunday looking it over and it's a tidy one. I haven't yet spoke to an importer about getting one for me, do you know how long that normally takes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st123 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 It take about 3 months to import a car you want from japan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As st123 says , around three months, but if you are looking at a 2.4 model of Elysion then there are loads around. Just fire a request into two or three importers and see if they have one or even that they are, maybe, just waiting on delivery of one already that is already on the highseas !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st123 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 managed to find out where the stockpot dealer gets there cars from https://www.goldenmiles.jp/ cheaper if you import yourself and find someone to do the conversion fog light etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The importer/dealer will be responsible for the conversions, servicing, UK registration (including SVA or similar if applicable), warranty and so on. Never having imported a vehicle i would have some trepidation about it, not because i doubt my skills/abilities to do the necessary conversions etc but more because i don't know all the ins and outs of the various laws etc that apply. I'm sure i'm not alone in this and equally sure that for a probably one-off purchase, getting to know those laws etc would be a step too far and i'd sooner pay someone else to have that grief and put a warranty on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I'm looking for a V6 Elysion prestige with the black dash trims. I really don't like some of those orange looking wood trims. There is one for sale but it's about a 3 hour drive away. I have asked a few importers a month ago if they had any like that coming in but they were all busy buying Elgrands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, you can spot N.S rear and O.S front on the bumper corners, both smart repairs 🔨👌 easy to look for damage hiding I guess? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted September 27, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Also a ding NSF wing/bumper a strange shape. It's listed as a manual but unless my eyes decieve me, that's an auto shift in the middle of the dash! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted October 10, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 That needs a serious internal clean !!! " Excellent condition ", hmmm, 🤔 106k miles, probably clean up nicely, is that a good price in the current climate? Seems reasonable. Really good descriptive advert, that, though !!!!!!!!!! Mr pedantic here , 🤪, I get sick of these km to miles conversions, not 103,000 miles, someone using the 60% conversion again. It's 106,500 miles. I mean , really, that's the cost of another oil change difference 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😝😝😝😝😝😝 It's OK when dealing with low numbers like miles per hour, "100kph is 60mph " stuff but when you are up in the hundred thousand numbers " size does matter " !!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted October 10, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Given their lack of description, they're probably not good at communicating or maths Pete - it's somewhere close but not even including the engine size will put a lot of people off. I can also imagine the terror on at least one persons face if i bought it and gave that persona lift, driving along the motorway at 110! I could be wrong on this but i thought one of the conditions of import was the speedo should at least have something to show mph conversions? Even just a few little stickers in the right place to show 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70mph but preferably a new dial/speedo head in mph. Nothing apparently on there though.
