Default Toyota Corolla Verso

We have a 3 year old Toyota Corolla Verso and would consider bringing it with us if it was financially viable.

I presume the rule of thumb is that if the model of car you have is not sold in Australia then it doesn't make sound business as it would be difficult to get parts. I've been on the Toyota.com.au website and it seems the "Verso" model of the Corolla is not part of their range.

Firstly does my "rule of thumb" above sound right? and secondly am I right in saying that the Verso is not a model that Toyota sell in Australia?

Thanks

I doubt that it would be worth your while to bring this car

What value is the benchmark for making it worthwhile?

Dunno. The general consensus is that unless the vehicle is highly specialised or has great sentimental value then it's not worth it

Use the search function, there are a whole heap of threads about this

Will do, thanks for the feedback. You've probably given me the answer I'm looking for, as it sounds like too much hassle anyway.

Not worth it financially basically. That and you would ever be able to sell it. Nobody will want to buy an import vehicle that is not sold in Australia.

Yes, it looks that way.

Thanks for the feedback.
