Simon93 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Looking at importing a glanza v from japan possibly early next year? And was wondering is it worth the money? And if so who are the best companys to use? Quote
Dan507 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 its a long waiting game, first you have to find one you like and win it, from sending the money you'll have to wait a few months for it to come then a few weeks for it to be registered. i've done it with my glanza, i was 16 and couldn't even drive at the time so it wasn't that hard to wait.

Justforfun Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 JDM Auctions do a fantastic job at this. They are on Facebook check them out. Quote
Nicholai Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 It is a long long process. When i did mine a few years ago i had to pay half up front then it was all down to the search which the company does on your behalf. They will send you a list of ones each day if there are any on auction mine took about a month to find the right one this can take less or longer. Once that is done they will put the bid in for it if you are lucky then the paperwork will start that will take about a week due to the time zones and what not. Once that is all done then you will have to wait the long hole of 10-12 weeks for you prize to turn up. Once it turns up it will take another 2 weeks for all the paperwork to turn it into a uk car. The company you use should do all this for you including an MOT. Mine when i collected it came with mot and tax but had a oil service and cambelt change as standard. I was very happy with my purchase as such but had a couple of little issues but that was the company i used. I paid 3000 for my MK1 tomz starlet and i would do it again but they have now gone up massively in price to import. Quote
Simon93 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 I don't mind the wait it's just the money part i'm concerned about because i've seen some selling for 6k on import sites that have just been imported. Quote

Nicholai Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) wow that is cheap what about GT's works out to be about 3900 for a mint glanza i hope they also do GT's they should be a little cheaper. Edited December 8, 2015 by Nicholai Quote

Not sure about the price on GTs man but before I bought my GT I was going to import my own glanza from Japan and it was costing me 4.500 for a totally immaculate untouched Glanza delivered to your nearest dock. They'll find you any car you can dream of. Edited December 8, 2015 by Justforfun Quote
Simon93 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 I've heard dcy europe are really good but they aren't the cheapest Quote
Nicholai Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I've heard dcy europe are really good but they aren't the cheapest no they are not i spoke to them about it and they said to me regardless it will cost me 6 grand.

ChrisssAhhh Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 You will have to register it yourself if buying from jdmauctionwatch or I'd imagine the price will go up, @justforfun surely that price didn't include vrt, servicing, tax and test these need to be factored into the equation aswel Quote
Simon93 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 no they are not i spoke to them about it and they said to me regardless it will cost me 6 grand. That's what's putting me off dcy because i love glanza's but 6k is silly money even for a low mileage one, i've seen forged ones on ebay for 4k Quote
