ok... im looking at a car, i found one and in contact with the seller in japan, he's found me what i like, given me prices for the car, and a price for shipping. of course i would need a sva test and what ever else i need... if someone could go over this, this would be great.
i know: km -miles, rear fog light..........

how would i go about getting the tests done so it can be driven on uk roads???

also would any dealers on here be able to help me out on sorting the above out etc, or even going through the transaction of the car i have in mind and i go through you with payments?

spose i just need some general advise and pointers

thankyou damian

What year is the car?, if it is older than 1997 you can just sent it though a standard MOT, import duty is 10% and tax will be 17.5%. Other than that all you need to do is send the money and pick the car up ;)

yup. Mamiana is a proper conman, if you get a car, you'll be lucky if its the same model as the one you paid for, nevermind the same spec or even the same car!

Steer well clear!

do not buy from him, silver surfer has had no end of trouble from him. he ordered a car almost 6 months ago, and the bloke started messing him around, there was a big hoo ha, and it turns out this guy is a con man.

i cant find siilversurfer 69 original thread, about it, i think its been deleted, any way the car is now in this country, but he cant pick it up from the docs, cos he still hasnt been sent the documents from mamiana, and the doc is charging him, storage for each day.

it has cost him loads more than it should have done, and he (as far as im aware) still hasnt been resolved.

oh and siilversurfer 69, has got the international fraud squad on his case.

Are people often left swinging "like a tit in the wind"? Cause i'm about to spend some of my hard earned cash on a starlet gt from nissho-trading.net they operate through trade car view. I've already been advised if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is, but this is the only way i can afford a nice gt.

well, i wouldnt trust any one that hasnt been recomended by some one.

your better off saving that bit more cash, and buying one off trevor on this site.
he knows starlets inside out, and i can garuntee it would be almost perfect.

Yeah there are some real con importers out there. Make sure to research who your buying off before you do so.
I imported one not that long ago through Monky's Inc and I ahve to say a pleasure to deal with, the car arrived on time with docs etc. They will also add in any additional parts you want for your car so you can get real good JDM mods and they even help you out with free things if they can. Really recomend them. If ya want ill give you his email address.
Thanks Christy

I cannot believe the amount of people out there that are willing to hand over their hard-earned cash on the basis that they've seen a car on a website...

Stupidity reigns when it comes to self-importing, and all common-sense goes out of the window because someone thinks they've 'found a bargain'...

How many more times do I have to say, DO YOUR BLOODY HOMEWORK FIRST!

why dont you ask mark to have a look for you, or give him the details of the car?

he could probably be able to find it, and he is very trusted, and has trusted sources, it might cost you a bit more, but it would be well worth the extra
