Hi Guys, Could you please suggest a good place in and around Sydney for getting my Estima serviced, without getting ripped off? :-)

Hey Guys, I am looking for Estima 2004 8 seater floor mats..would prefer original Toyota mats, but am also open for after market ones. I seem to have lost one part of the mat in the middle row :-( Any suggestions where I could look for these mats here in Aus? Thanks!

Hey Guys, I have finally got my Estima!! It's a White G-Edition Type II 2004 Estima L with 3L V6 engine, and a few other bells and whistles such as Dual Sun roofs, auto doors, curtains etc. Its a 8 seater with about 60K kms on it . One thing missing though is the rear camera, which is a must for me!! I am just wondering if you guys have come across a package which includes the rear camera, screen, and a DVD player with FM here in Sydney? I am not very handy, would prefer getting the whole thing professionally installed. The other thing ofcourse is the Insurance! I tried Shannons, they say I am not a motor enthusist :-( .. tried NRMA, and their quote for a comprehensive insurance is about 1600$ with 800$ excess.. any other 'reliable but not too expensive' companies that you guys know of? Will keep you guys posted with my Estima experience!! Wohooo!

Hey mate, Just curious, whats the quote like for the camera and installation?

That's great to hear, looking forward to hearing you experience, I am pretty sure it's gonna be awesome!! :-)

Hi xchex, I am interested in more details, have left you a message, kindly respond when you find some time. Thanks!

Hi xchex I am still looking around. I always thought self importing was bit of a hassle. Yes, please let me know how you went about your import.. I guess you do end up saving some money by self importing...

Hey guys I am looking at purchasing a 2003 Estima V6 grey import soon from a car yard. I am not well versed with Mechanics.. Could you help me with a few mandatory things that I need to check before purchasing one? One thing that I could gather from the forums is the timing belt, any other suggestions ? Also, does 18k sound reasonable for a 2003 import which has run about 60k Kms? Thanks!

Thanks Steve and Ronnyboy!

hey Guys I am a huge Estima fan and am looking at purchasing a 2003 V6 Estima sooooon.. I am doing my study and have sooo many questions - about the right price, insurance, running costs, things I need to take care of while choosing the right one etc...and I hope to learn my answers here!! :-)

Hi Shadow_, Just curious to know which insurance did you finally select? How much did it cost? I am planning to buy myself an Estima, and am currently calculating the costs (after buying!)
