Why Import the Toyota Corolla Fielder Hybrid from Japan?

The Toyota Corolla Fielder Hybrid NKE165 was never sold new in Australia, where the equivalent Corolla wagon was not offered locally. Importing a used example from Japan gives buyers access to a genuinely efficient, practical hybrid wagon at a fraction of the cost of a comparable new small wagon, sourced through Japanese auction stock with full service history.
