The first Toyota C‑HR Hybrid wasn’t just a car — it was a test. A full evaluation of AB‑Motors’ honesty, competence, communication, and geological hazard resistance.
Once the guinea pigs received their car safely in Salobreña — with:
perfect paperwork
full Toyota service history
ECO badge corrected
and zero boulders
…the skeptical relatives finally said:
“Alright. We’re in. But we want a newer one.”
Challenge accepted.
Background
The relatives had watched the entire process from the sidelines:
the sourcing
the transport
the import
the Boulder Scenario
the delivery
the flawless result
They saw everything. And once they realized AB‑Motors was the real deal, they wanted their own Toyota C‑HR Hybrid — but newer, cleaner, and with more equipment.
So we went hunting again.
The Costa Blanca Temptation
Before we found the car, the family spotted what looked like a bargain:
The same exact model €2,000 cheaper At a dealer on the Costa Blanca
But then reality entered the chat.
Our inspection revealed:
dents and “Spanish kisses”
over 100,000 km on the clock
three previous owners
and a history that politely whispered: “Run.”
On paper it was cheaper. In real life it was… well… Spanish‑market chaos in automotive form.
What We Delivered Instead
We sourced a far superior example:
a late‑2021 model (instead of early‑2022)
30,000 km — not 100,000+
original owner
full Toyota service history
eligible for the 15‑year / 250,000 km Toyota manufacturer warranty
clean, accident‑free, and properly maintained
Yes — it was €2,000 more expensive.
But compared to the Costa Blanca “bargain,” it wasn’t just the better choice. It was the only choice that made sense.
Money well spent.
What We Did
Sourced a newer Toyota C‑HR Hybrid with excellent mileage
Verified full Toyota service history
Confirmed eligibility for the 15‑year Toyota manufacturer warranty
Handled the purchase, transport, import, and taxes
Registered it in Spain
Delivered it directly to their home in Salobreña
And yes — the Boulder Scenario made a cameo:
“Just to be sure… what if a boulder falls on this one?”
Our answer remained unchanged:
“Insurance. And also: still no boulders.”
Results
A newer, higher‑spec Toyota C‑HR Hybrid delivered to the relatives in Salobreña
Full Toyota service history
Eligible for the 15‑year Toyota warranty
Clean, accident‑free, low‑km example
Fully registered and delivered without drama
A family network now fully converted to AB‑Motors believers
Zero geological incidents reported
This is AB‑Motors: Once we pass the test, the whole family signs up.
Why This Matters
This story is the perfect demonstration of:
trust earned the right way
consistent quality
consistent transparency
consistent results
and consistent boulder‑free deliveries
The Spanish used‑car market is chaotic. AB‑Motors isn’t.
