How much is it all in the source a car?


A friend used to have one and then sold it for an EP3 but missed his DC5 but cant afford to pay 12k for one already in the country :(

Any tips would be of great help :wink:

you can get a 2001 DC-5 for 7-9k in Japan then importing, shipping,sva etc... you can get one on the road for £10k 2001-2003 Model with low mileage? But the question is? Can you be as**ed. Coming back to a DC-5 are we? The longest you would wait is 6 months :).

right taken from my own thread .......

Right here goes.

For a car thats already in the UK

Your going to be looking around

13500 - 17000 for a good example

You may be able to find them cheaper if you look hard enough.

To import your self can some times work out a bit cheaper.

for instance.

These are rought costing for importing on your self, however there are was of getting this a bit cheaper

integra type r dc5
01/02 - roughly 1.75million yen

is - 1913000 fob (fee on board)
is - 1987360 cif (cost insurance frieght)
is - £9699 (today with www.xe.com )
then
duty @10% = £969 = £10668
vat @17.5%=£1867 = £12535
fee @ £400 = £12935
port charges = £75 = £13,010

now that will land it in the uk and clear customs.

it will need to be sva'd with a model report.


test = £540
model report = £200
alarm = cat 1 = £350

total £990 plus vat = £1280

grand total = £14,290.

I know of 2 cars in the UK now thats up for £9500, however its need a ESVA etc........

If you need any more help just ask.
