Any Crown owners here?
Last year I was working on bringing in an S220 Crown but my old car was on its last legs so I needed a quick fix. I got a good deal on trade-in and bagged a Corolla estate brand new at a decent price. I see they're selling second hand for roughly what I paid for it so I wouldn't be at a huge loss considering it has about 10,000km on the clock and is spotless.
I've seen the Yen has been dropping over the last year so I'm back to shopping around for a Crown and while the engine, drivetrain etc are all related to locally sold Toyota/Lexus in Ireland, I do have concerns around body panels, windscreens etc.
I'm just trying to gauge the reality of living with a Crown in Ireland, as I do spot a few around, mostly of the S210 variety. Obviously I'll be avoiding AWD and RS models as I don't want to be dealing with adaptive suspension or unusual drivetrains as the car gets older.
