eggy790 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 ok been looking at glanzas and noticed they had some aswell as 2 i quite like coming in.. first question is .. has anyone heard of them and had a goood experience?and second question is can someone run thru briefly about the auction groups in japan, group r , 3,4.5 etc.ive heard r is accident repaired or with no history..as i said i like the sound of some of their cars however i want to make sure am buying a minter as they accept trade ins and i wouldnt mind trading my clio in except i dont want no problems in that i kno my car is mechanically sound and has been well looked after as it has bin in my family since new and had an oil change every 6000 miles with top quality oil..so basically dont want to give it up unless its worth it, would be gutted if u get a crap one, been to see a few glanzas and theys like overspray here and there etc.maybe am too fussy or what not but anyway back to the purpose of thread .. wrc sales.. anyon e got experience with them?cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jules-B Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have to disagree with all of the aboveI went there to look at a glanza (4 hour drive) and on the phone i was told that it was a minter. when i arrvied there were scuffs on the bumpers and was a massive crease in the boot. The people did not know how to do a diagnostics check there either. Was there 30 mins and picked MAJOR problems with around 5 of their carsIf you want me 2 ill find the thread from tgtt that i posted at the timeJules Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jules-B Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 i would look at the traders on the forums mateOn tgtt there are a few good onesToby imports cars (toytuning)www.glanza.co.uk also has very good carsTrevor although in ireland can put cars on transporters and can be driven hereEither that or i would say look in the classifieds and do some research on the owners posts to see if they have had any problems and if they have looke after their cars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonny Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I got my glanza off WRC back in Feb, not really a bad word to say about them, 2 other mates bought cars off them as well then we all drove them back home to Norther Ireland, sell some nice cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stevie B Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Thats the only person I've heard say a bad word against them and I've been on the forums for years now.dont let that put you off, go view the cars, see for yourself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liam2368 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 ^^ me too, your the only person that i have ever heard say a bad word about them, then again they can't be perfect all the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jules-B Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 fairplay, by all means go up there, but from the attitude that i got from them and there ''friends'' when i was there, not all was right. and when i looked at the cars there were major problems.hopefully they have sorted their act out in the last year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eggy790 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 as for auction gradeshttp://www.bromleytyres.co.uk/grade.htmlJapan used car grades explainedThe majority of used cars in Japan are sold through its auction system, cars are rarely sold privately.Unlike in the UK, every car going through an auction in Japan has to have a strict examination andinspection and is given a grade according to its condition and history. Below is a guide to the grades. GRADE 6 54.543.531 or 20 or RA , A2A3 , A3.5DESCRIPTION New carAlmost a new car (few months old)Like new condition, perfect (no accident history)Almost perfect condition (no accident history)Excellent condition (no accident history)Good condition, may have small scratch, dent etc (no accident history)Poor or very bad condition (no accident history)Accident damaged carPreviously damaged but repaired okPreviously damaged but repaired now excellent condition Quote Link to post Share on other sites
www.glanza.co.uk Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Grades can only be used as a guide... I've seen Graded cars that wouldn't fetch a tenner down the scrappies being sold in Japan. Quite a few auctioner inspections can be fiddled if the owner 'knows' the inspector... That's why having someone check the car out in Japan is a must.However, if you like gambling, "you pays your monies and you takes your chance..." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
