Imported Coasters


Hi All,

Have had a look at a couple of imported (from Japan) coasters.

They seem quite good, low km's, turbo diesel, air bag suspension, automatic.

Has anyone had experience with servicing and getting parts for them?

Cheers

When I was Coaster hunting, got the impression that local Toyota people were not keen on working on the imported models and that there could be issues with parts.

Be cautious about rust - some of the low km ones have been used in snowy areas where they salt the roads.

Check for rust..

-- Also as wendy said.. When going for a service or even hunting for part's Most toyota supplier will ask for the vin number of the bus.. If it ends with an "A" I think you will run into issues with getting part's..

Australia bus end with a "J"

 Like Jurgen said...

I have just bought a 1994 coaster from a Gold Coast Bus Co. for $10000 and am more than happy with it...

It has high Kl's but has been well maintained and is running like a Swiss watch..
