I am tempted to do the same just trying to figure out how much it costs to register cars i believe it is £55 to do that. Only thing i have a worry about is if a car is bought and something goes wrong with it is there any form of warranty or something for a couple of months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They go for crazy money I'll have to sell my GT to part fund it. There is no warranty man but th cars are fully inspected in Japan before you buy them. People doing things to them months later wouldn't be their problem really man. Edited December 10, 2015 by Justforfun Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Justforfun Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Wow mate yes that does suck some what lol.big time man. Say for instance I was bringing in a 1.6 it would cost me about 800 euro. 2.5 will cost you 2.300 euro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholai Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 that really sucks mate we dont have anything like that apart from import tax but saying that it can be quite high but the company includes that within the price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's awesome yous don't have to pay it. My advice would be to use JDM auction watch If you are bringing in a car. I know of plenty of people that have used them over here and never once have I heard a bad word said about them nor have I heard about any of their cars clapping up shortly after arrival. Buying a car you cannot see in person before hand is always a risk anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Buying a car you cannot see in person before hand is always a risk anyway.Yeah that is what i am worried about. When i bought a car to import to the uk i used an company called DNA cars which are no longer trading due to cars coming in with issues so i heard. Mine had a fair amount of issues that i heard from the owner after me. I never really drove it hard but not to sure if they did but the engine, gearbox and turbo failed very close after one another. I was told by them if something goes wrong with the car then they would sort it but i had a few little issues with it but they were not sorted i had to do it myself. The worry i have is if i purchase a car and collect it at the dock and notice that it isnt running right or what not there is nothing i can do about it. i still have to have the car and sort out all the issues myself.But i guess that is the risk you take with this but like you said they sound like a good company i have heard good things from them also from there facebook page. But if i am not mistaken they get the car check by there contact in japan that goes over it to make sure all is well. Do they check it over when it hits the UK as they have to be there at the dock to sort the paperwork out to pass it over to the customer is that correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The lad who owns JDM vists japan once a year, he has a team over there who fully inspect the cars before you buy them and they grade them. I'm not sure if they are inspected in the UK but they do get a good going over in japan by their reps before you buy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
