List of Jap importers?

Farls

Just an idea that people could post up links to jap importers that bring cars into Ireland/UK. With the amount of people importing this could be very helpful and mike could possibly incorporate it into the knowledge?

I know of..

Linney.org
HP Imports

Also if anyone has any advice?, I know of a few users of boards as well as myself who are considering importing from japan. Has anyone imported straight themselves?

Cheers Farlz

Yup...I have...it's relatively painless to do. I'm just waiting on the VRT4 form so I can pay the vrt and tax and insure the car.

What company/website did you use bp_me?

Here's another one that usually has loads of cars in stock: http://www.madcars.com/
Their website looks like its ****ed at the moment, so you may want to give them a ring.

despite their poor grasp of English the car did get here. Had a bit of difficulty getting the documents. They only arrived a day before the boat did :O

Thanks for the tip. These guys seem to be pretty good value, I've written to them about shipping prices.
Is there anything else I need to be aware of when ordering from them? I have a strange feeling that a lot can go wrong when importing a car all the way from Japan

Not that I know of, but yes there is a lot that can go very very wrong.

Just looking a KBCCars website and I would have my doubts about some of the grading. Theres a wrx wagin there that they have graded 4 and it has a nice bit of damage on the rear qtr panel/door.

Theres another 1995 Impreza graded 5, which is unheard of for that year. I could be wrong but just from my experience of looking at auction grade sheets.

What kind of car are you after?

Yep, a grade 5 would be a brand new car.

Madden Cars linked above are a bunch of cowboys and Sean Byrne motors are even worse. Sean Byrne has had some cars on autotrader for the last 6 - 8 months that he has probably never had in stock at all, but if you give him a buzz about it he'll tell you its just been sold but he can get you in x, y and z in a few weeks.
Hes more like an import broker than an actually car dealer, half the time he seems to be reselling High Grade imports stock from up the road for a grand or two more :rolleyes:
