Import buying
Has anyone used Keighley trade centre as one of my mates is trying to buy an Impreza and these guys say they can get whatever we want from Japan but Ive heard mixed views about using these guys.
Any good or not

I live 2 miles away from them, and they always seem to have some nice cars in.
I once bought one from them, ( Clio 182 ) and got shut of it 8 month later due to the ongoing problems I had with it. Got myself a WRX ( not from them ) and never looked back.
If you know your stuff - then by all means go and have a look - but if you are a bit of a novice - then get proper checks etc or steer well clear.

I think you'll find their stock has got a little better, the more expensive stuff is ok, just watch the cheap stuff. Like has been said, if you know what to look for then its ok, go and have a look. They've got a very nice R35 GTR
As for bringing stuff in, I've recently looked into brining over a 03/04 STi and have been speaking with an agent over there. To get a 100% genuine, unrepaired, lowish miles and in good nick (grade 4/4.5) then its not as cheap as you'd think by the time you look at the O.T.R price. Fine, if you're happy to have one thats been repaired, high miles etc then you'll have plenty to choose from.
If you want an opinion from someone over there of the FOB price for what you're looking for, PM me and I'll pass on the website and contact details for this agent in Japan who I've been speaking to. I belive that Jurgen from JM Imports in Newcastle is a pretty safe bet too. They charge a fixed price of £750 to source and get the car over here, get it on the road with 12 months MOT & 6 months tax, you can also take a warranty out if you want one.
PS. I've just opted for a decent Type UK with mods....

But for different reasons.
