    I am interested in buying Toyota Levin Automatic.
    It should be import from Japan. Prob Year 96.
    I was driving one in Japan so I like this car, but Ive only seen Japanese imports around here.
    Is it hard to get parts here and repair would be pricy?

    The levin was never sold here, so any ones on the roads will be Japanese domestic market imports. They are hugely overpriced over here. but finding one won't be a problem. lots of importers have them.

    Parts are availible from Toyota dealers, but can take quite some time to get in,

    Thanks.
    I will have to think about it.
    might be better off getting a car which is sold here, but levin looks good :D and used to drive them as well...

    I got parts for a Levin from my local Toyota garage in about a week and they weren't too expensive.

    thanks.
    it mightn't be too bad then.
    i was advised to buy a ford forcus hatchback '00.
    they are supposed to be a good car but i'm still thinking about Levin...
    which is less noise, smooth i wonder...

    Levin is a really nice car. Bit of a boy-racer favorite in this country though. Most of the ones I've seen for sale are of the 'Max Power' persuasion.

    More character than a Focus...

    a BMW 318 Coupe coupe be had for similar money to the Levin, It's much more refined and doesn't have the same boy racer image as the Levin

    00 Levins are making around €13,000

    You can get a 98 316 coupe with M pack for €12,950
