I believe it`s the jap version of a spec D; more discrete styling, and with no rear spoiler at all. I am sure someone more knowledgable will know more. I like the look of them!

just to add to that, but it`s been said before in the last week or so; the current exchange rate with the yen means that you will be paying a high price for importing, and the general advice is to look for a good jdm car that has already been imported.

Hope you have a lot of cash
The car will set you back say 2.2-2.4 million yen, then add 10% export tax to that, handling fee also, (that's around 24k before you even see the car), esva, vat, registration, model report etc will bump that up to 30k, and considering 2 ra's sold for between 17-19k in the uk in the last month, your on to a bit of a loser.....

Were you hoping to get one fairly cheap?

Was thinking the same thing

Do you mean 10% customs and 20% vat?

The charges that Tony is referring to probably cover transport from the auction site to the port, de-registration, storage and stevedoring costs.

That's not a tax it's a fee and the has never been 10% so I doubt he means that.

I would rather barter a UK owner down than import a 2nd user car in todays current exchange rate.

Immy,

Also has the Bargain import business had its day due to import costs and exchange rates or will they go back to a reasonable level???

Your looking at 100,000 yen agent charge £770 and £1000 for shipping( it's gone up due to the lack in space on ships) 10% customs 20% vat roughly 4.5k so your total is about 20k before it's been tested and registered which will cost an extra £12-1400.

As steve said just add 30% and a few other things as mentioned above


Ok mate will do just for you

Unfortunately it's a total waste of time as you can get cheaper cars here in the UK. I reckon it will be atleat 5 years before things get better again. Thats why I have decided to bow out and persue other ventures.
