    Try www.tradecarview.com , cut out the middle man, they have a great selection of brilliantly priced cars, not on auction though.

    They have great prices I must say.

    So basicly that would be importing straight? No dealer?

    Yeh you basically have to do everything yourself, pay the handling charges, collect the car yourself, pay vrt, nct it, etc...

    great savings if you can put up with it all and of course the wait

    I'm thinking about doin it for my next car

    The question is, Would I be saving after paying all of those?

    I dont mind the wait tbh.

    makes them look like robbin fooks cuz for example, an ek9 type r civic, 1999 grade 4 might be going for sale on tcv for about 8 grand, the estimated price (yes i know its an estimate) on the japanese car aution site is about 6 grand

    ^Hmm.

    So it would be the same story with nct/vrt/collection as tcv?

    I know people who have bought via tradecar with problems,its basically a japanease carzone,sometimes dealers dont even have the cars instock they have listed,and the price you see isnt the final price you pay,theres dereg charges or fob/cif to be added.

    Look at idirect.co.jp,your buying direct from auction there and the end price you win at is the total price you pay shipped to ireland.

    The winning bid price there is your CIF price to dublin,after that you just need to worry about customs vat and vrt then collection,tax nct ect ect

    Theres money to be saved either way,you just may be talking 3/4 months total time before the exact car you want turns up/you win it/its shipped so you need patience!

    i think there is one sumwhere but its never been stickied.

    a fresh up to date one with info from people that have brought cars in would be very useful.
