eBay 2008 import from Mexico... nav-delete (1 Viewer)

Location

United States

So I found this 2008 on eBay.

Cons - its an import from Mexico without much history (no carfax).
Pros - Its got the nav-delete option with a Kenwood replacement radio/nav and its a good price for the mileage

I've owned an import (1999 Mini Cooper with 10" rims!) and never had real issues... but also never had great confidence in its history (and the KM speedo was annoying). Thoughts?

I actually prefer that dash layout over factory. The Nav in my 2008 is lacking some features a newer head up like this may have. Just curious how much hacking was involved to put it in.

I have no experience with importing from any other country, but agree, the speedo in KM's would get very annoying.

Did you find this somehow with the VIN?

 

[2001LC]

Yes.

 

[drewdat]

Yes.

Thanks for the save!

Is there a site you used to look this up? All I knew about is Carfax and nothing showed up.

 

[2001LC]

Both Toyota & Lexus have owner sites. You log into, then input VIN. You can see history and vehicle specs.

Seller story is not checking out! Watch out caution need to be used on this one.

Good info I also saw this popup on my CarGurus alert last night when I tried to pull the carfax it wouldn't recognize the Vin and then I saw his description. Not worth the risk IMO
