Interested in buying a used Auris 1.8 hybrid (2013 or 2014, pre-facelift model) in Greater London - Surrey areas from an official Toyota dealer. Aiming to get the best remaining manufacturer warranty on engine /battery. Any advice on selecting the "best" dealers?

Thanks,

John

As madf has said, Toyota warranty is 5 years.

So ensure that ALL servicing work in the book has been done by main agents, to the correct standard and the correct times / mileages, and you will have the benefit of that remaining warranty.

Do note that I say main agent servicing. This is because if it's outside the dealer network for servicing, then european law says that they can tell you to get stuffed once 3 years of the warranty is up. It is ONLY the first 3 years that qualifies under the block exemption. After that, a manufacturer can impose almost any conditions to maintain the warranty.

Re the battery, Toyota dealers offer a service called Hybrid Health Check (HHC) once the initial battery warranty expires. This checks the battery for any faults, and also provides a 1 year/10,000 extension to the battery warranty. The HHC is provided free if servicing is done at a Toyota dealer, or, if servicing is done outside of the Toyota dealer network, one can pay a Toyota dealer for a HHC (cost currently £39).

The HHC can be carried out until the car reaches its 10th birthday - so if one has the car's final HHC done just before the car's 10th birthday, the battery warranty can be extended til the car is almost 11 years old.

Hi John

I bought a previous model Auris Sport Tourer Hybrid in December and am really pleased with it.

Largest dealer in South London/Surrey seems to be Jemca. I live in Devon and bought my Auris from Vantage in Birmingham. They have a large number of ex-fleet cars at @1 year old and with 15k-20k on the clock and FMDSH. My car was more than £4000 cheaper for the same model than my local Toyota dealer was charging. I test drove one in my local dealer than bought one from Vantage over the net. They sent me a video of "my" car just to make sure it was what I wanted and as described. Also gave me a good deal on p/x too. Well worth the 4 hour jouney there to save so much money. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a used Toyota.

I would also recommend Steven Eagell group they always seem willing to do a deal. Just bought a 15 plate auris icon hybrid from them in very good condition high mileage, 17k, for a 10 month old car but the price reflected this and my PX was very fair. They are quite a trip for you though based in North London. It always seems to me the worst place to buy is South East London on price but I can also recommend Beadles who have given my brother good service before if not the best price.

Well I have my new icon plus now and think it's fantastic. I have some cross climates fitted and they are awesome. Just hope I don't get a puncture!!

I have seen a red version of the car I got for 13990 from Snows on a 15 plate just over 6000 miles seems a bargain. A way for you to go but it's Toyota used approved in Paignton.
