2009 TOYOTA IQ GRMN

KEY FACTS

• This 2009 Toyota IQ GRMN is one of just 100 produced exclusively for the Japanese market, and is in great condition.
• A re-tuned 1.33-litre petrol inline-four delivers up to 98hp via a six-speed manual transmission.
• Imported from Japan and first registered in Australia in 2019, it represents the first model to bear the GR badge, named after Toyota’s Gazoo Racing team.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The GRMN upgrades the standard IQ with revised tuning of the 1.33 litre engine, six-speed manual transmission, rear disc brakes, revised suspension, revised exhaust and 16-inch Rays forged alloy wheels.
• This example has been very well maintained in original condition and specification. Two minor modifications have been made: a DC Sports intake was fitted, along with a Kenwood head unit.
• Sold with excellent Japanese service history and de-registration papers, as well as the original JDM head unit.

CONDITION

• The bodywork is in good condition, as are the Rays wheels and other exterior trim. The bonnet and front bumper were resprayed in 2019.
• Other than the resprayed front sections, the white paintwork is believed to be original, and is in impressive order. There are some minor stone chips, but no significant blemishes.
• Inside, the original interior is in very good condition, presenting few signs of use, and certainly no obvious wear to the seat upholstery. There are some minor marks on the driver’s door trim, but the rest of the trim and gauges are excellent.
• Sold with a well-documented service history, the car has been conscientiously maintained and presents with no known faults or warning lights.
• A roadworthy inspection was carried out in October 2019 and the car passed without warning or advisory.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Japanese import specialist C-Red Tuning serviced the car at 152,019 km in March 2021, performing a routine oil and filter change.
• Oil and filter changes were also carried out in September and March of 2020.
• Two new tyres were fitted in 2019.

SUMMARY

Exceptionally rare even in its home market, this 2009 Toyota IQ GRMN represents a great opportunity to own a unique Japanese import. The car benefits from GRMN’s performance enhancements, offering a spirited drive for its diminutive stature; and it should also prove to be very reliable thanks to Toyota’s famously robust build quality and mechanicals.
