I have heard you can be taking some chances getting imports as you can never check the history of the car.

You cant beat Jap for reliability but it may sounds a good deal in theory, but you might regret it.

Hiya,

Have you taken into account shipping, around £600, import duty at 10% on invoice price and shipping, then 17.5 VAT on the whole amount.

ESVA work and test, around £750, the car needs to be totally factory standard to pass, and I mean totally! Then registration, customs clearance

If you need any advise or info let me know, I import new and used cars from Japan into Liverpool for a living.

Its already been imported and is in this country! Its not likely ill get it but will be a bargain for somebody! Its totally standard so should have no problems passing the tests!
