Actually, I'd be interested to know what the Canadian dealers are doing for headlights; these are model-specific and were made only in RHD. Canadians are also being robbed by used-Japanese-importers; for a 1994 Sprinter Carib (sold in Canada as "Corolla" 4WD, and it IS part of the Corolla range, as was the 1983-87 Carib sold in North America as a "Tercel") the bottom line is $7000CD. This model goes for no more than $2500NZ here... that's $1818CD, and is too old now for importers to bother with... a 1996-2003 Carib or a 1997 4WD Corolla wagon sytarts here at $7000NZ (5040CD). A basic 2WD manual narrow-body 1993 Estima is selling there for $13,000-odd CD. Here the same car is worth at most $5000NZ, and my wife's floorshift-manual turbodiesel is probably only worth $3000 if that. Go figure. At least the used Japanese imports are rust-free... so long as they are sourced from the southern parts of Japan!!
