Callan Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 most starlets dont come with these mate unless its the importer whos selling it to you, or the previous owner has kept hold of themi dont have my documents as its been in the country years and was imported my keighley/bradford Quote

SooperD Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I got all the import paperwork with mine.. proving the mileage etc etc.. first owner in the uk tho. Deffo nice to hav to sell on with the car tho IMO Quote
paulgtt Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 A BIMTA certificate is a very good thing to have Quote
addz Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Good to have the paperwork.I got mine with the car, nice to see the history although its all in Jap. Quote
J25GTi Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 A BIMTA certificate is a very good thing to havebut not essential?what paperwork would be usually expected with an import car? just trying to gauge if something is wrong and thats why its not there, or if the generally dont have any with them these days!

www.glanza.co.uk Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 If it's registered, then it's OK. The paperwork has to be OK to get it registered. The only thing you'll never know is what the auction grade was (assuming it was even bought in auction)... Most imports don't come with paperwork (service history etc), so don't worry too much about it. Quote
SpeedFreak Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Mine was from Torque Keighley but it came with nothing apart from V5 and Mot Cert.I know that you get paper work when importing yourself, because you have to register it. I am guessing alot of Traders get rid of the paper work once they have registered it. Quote
