hi there
recently i decide to import a scooby directly from japan by myself. is there anyone knows the total amount of money to pay for registration, import tax and any other extra fees?

Thanx a lot

scoobyhummel

+ lots of paper work

it can about double the price you payed in japan

if you let me no the cost of car by email ill mail you the total cost.......

the car costs 8886 GBP, and then how about total cost at all. My email is hummelsubaru@hotmail.com

As a rough guide (may have missed something) you are looking at :

1) 17.5% Vat
2) 10% Car import duty
3) Shipping costs
4) SVA test use to be about £200 may have gone up this also requires the fitting at extra cost of :
a) Rear fog light
b) Fuel nozzle restrictor
c) Speedo conversion from kph to mph
d) plus anything else/repairs to pass SVA
5) £25 for first reg
6) Tax disk £160 ??
7) Insurance - a lot ;)

I have never imported one personally but seen a few threads discussing it.

edited to sayt I think the sva is only applicable to cars under 3 years old but you wioll still need an mot and still need to do the mods to get an mot afaik.
