Looking to buy a Japanese import Toyota...

Looking at changing cars and there are a lot of Japanese imported cars available. I am looking at a 2021 Toyota Prius or a 2020 Toyota C-HR.

If I was to go ahead with the purchase of one of these:

1. Is it easy to get parts for these cars, god forbid something was to go on them?

2. Is the insurance going to be higher as it is an import? Is this something you are asked when insuring the car?

Any advice appreciated.

Can we insure our German car in Ireland?

Hi,

Is it possible to get insurance for a car with the steering wheel on the left side? How much would insurance for drivers be who have been insured for over 30 years in Germany but not yet in Ireland?

Car: Hyundai i30. We are residents in Mayo.

Thanks!

Are Japanese imports impossible to insure?

I was thinking of buying a Japanese import but didn't in the end as I couldn't get an insurance quote. It seems to me Irish insurance companies won't insure Japanese imports which I think is crazy. My question is, why won't Irish insurance companies insure Japanese import cars?
