Back in 2021, we reported that supply of parallel imported Toyota Vellfire coming out of Japan is going to become increasingly tight in the coming years, as sales of the Vellfire have dropped tremendously, and as a result of the poor sales - there will be no successor to the AH30 generation Vellfire. Obviously, that didn’t come to pass as a new AH40 generation 2023 Toyota Vellfire was launched yesterday in Japan, alongside its twin the Toyota Alphard. Many were surprised that the Vellfire surviv

Importation of used cars, colloquially referred to as ‘recond cars’, are open to rampant abuse as there is no coordination between the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), which gives out the Open APs used by recond dealers to import cars, and the Customs Department, which clears the vehicles’ paperwork at their port of entry. This is according to the Auditor-General’s second series of the 2019 report released today. According to the report, the National Audit Department had on 2
