mart1 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Is there anyone on here that deals with importing?

The car I have seen is on tradecarview company that has got it for sale IMIAUTO.COM they have got good reviews on tradecarview, can anyone help me with this? Thanks Edited January 31, 2015 by mart1 Quote

Whitenoize Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 yeah this is what worrys me,if i have I got enough money with all the vat tax fees & all the rest. you need to make sure you have the money to pay when they ask for the charges etc or you can lose the car and what you have paid best leave it to an import company as they know what they are doing with the paper work n all that try flatoutimports they import loads Quote

MaxGT Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Sorry to revive an old thread - but I'm currently looking at maybe importing a GT turbo - I think it's my best chance at getting a non modified / standardish one. Anyone recommend JM-Imports? Or is Flatout imports the only way to go? Thanks. Quote

Anyone recommend JM-Imports? Or is Flatout imports the only way to go? Thanks. Hi I was going to get a company to deal with import for me, JDM Auctionwatch rang them a couple of times gave them £500 paypal deposit then they go on to putting a bid down for your car that you like, you can go on there car auctions before you give them a deposit, & if you win it they email you the next day, unfortunately I just missed out on a very low mileage black glanza v, gave them a good price to go off as well, it did piss me of as that car I bid on did not make the auction price first time around & then I went on to do a good bid then everyone's bids on it lol & lost out so if you do see a car make sure you put a good figure down. I didn't carry on with it in the end & JDM gladly gave me my £500 deposit back, they very helpful and deal for UK also, good luck if you do, it can get very stressful at times.:-) Quote
MaxGT Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks for the reply mate. The dilemma I'm having is I need a near standard GT for insurance, although finding one in the UK is impossible. It may be cheaper to buy one here and de-modify it as it were, although a standard exhaust will cost about £800(!!?!?) so we'll see Quote
