Please guys advice me before I import wetin go finish my mama money on repairs...
She asked for Sienna but I don't like sienna because its used now for transportation, I won't like my mum cruising and passengers waving at her...

Thank you

I just asked my mechanic he said it uses toyota corolla part but please convert it there to left hand before send it to her abeg. #mamamustcruise

All vehicles that can be bought 2nd hand, can be used for commercial purposes. As far back as 5yrs ago, Toyota corolla '09 was painted in Lagos colour.
Secondly, I will advice you buy a car common to most mechanics. If mechanics don't understand the mechanism of Ipsum, be ready to buy her another. Save your mama the stress of mechanics who can't manage new technology.

Shares same parts with the Picnic or Avensis Verso. The parts are certainly available. I don't know about the conversion from right hand to left hand drive though.
