Your opinion on buying this car.It has new vvti engine and chain drive.My concern is its age and no back doors for passengers. Also difficulty of finding parts for repairs or after accident. Dealer says it flew through AA test. Can I request to see this report?

Hi there,
This car is very similar underneath to a Toyota Vitz, which are very popular and reliable. Most parts would have to be acquired secondhand from a wrecker or ordered even ex Japan if nothing is available.
If by 'test' the dealer means Appraisal then they should show you, however it is a dealer-only inspection and it is recommended to book and pay for a pre purchase inspection yourself for best results. http://www.aa.co.nz/cars/buy-sell/pre-purchase-vehicle-inspections/
