Question Anyone here in the EU?

Anyone know if these cars have a reasonable presence in the EU?
We're planning to take ours to Catalonia (currently under Spain grrrrr) with us in the next couple of years or so, and wonder if it's hard to get parts/get repairs done.
We're buying a 2006 xA with a low-miles engine in it.
Runs like a dream; cold air; everything works great; quiet ride.
Seems well worth shipping it if we can get repairs easily if needed.

Thanks

This year, there has only been a couple of SL Members that have announced themselves from the EU in the Introduction Forum:

Lucas from Poland and Max from Slovenia

Lucas says he is part of a Scion Club with around he thinks there are about ~ 60 Scions in Poland.

Scions were only Sold in the U.S. and Canada. So any Scions in the EU were Exported there. I don't have any Data on How Many are in the EU or Catalonia.
Now there is Toyota Motor Europe So there is a Network of Toyotas available in Europe. Cars like the tC uses the Camry engine.

So it appears like it is possible to find Parts and Service there. The question is How easy or readily Available?
Lucas has stated he sometimes have to obtain parts from eBay here.

You might want to try PM them for any of their experiences in obtaining Parts and Service in their Country or EU.
