==  How common are they?==
As only 872 UZZ32 Soarers were produced over some six years, these vehicles are now becoming increasingly rare.

== What is the build number? ==
To determine the "build number", just check the [[Build Plate]], where the last three digits of the Frame Number (which should start with UZZ32) will be a number from 001 to 872. The build number can also be used to [[UZZ32 Manufacturing Dates|look up the year and month of manufacture]].

== Maintenance & Repairs ==
Although Toyota designed the UZZ32 to high quality standards, [[UZZ32 Maintenance and Repair]] is still necessary. Like any motor vehicle, they require [[UZZ32 Maintenance and Repair#Basic Servicing|basic regular servicing]] (including items such as, eg, new oil and oil filter). There are also [[UZZ32 Maintenance and Repair#'Generic' Soarer Servicing|service tasks that are more specific to Soarers in general]] (including sagging door hinges on older vehicles). Finally, there are [[UZZ32 Maintenance and Repair#UZZ32 specific service items|service items that apply only to the UZZ32 Soarer]] (eg the suspension pump etc). Non-standard "improvements" by previous owners may also need to be revisited.

Knowledge of the meaning of the various [[Soarer_Dash_Warning_Messages|(Japanese) warning messages on the dash]], as well as [[System Diagnostics|how to perform system diagnostics]] and [[Error Codes|decode the various error codes]] is also highly recommended.
