After browsing my local Honda dealership and looking at the new Civic Type-R, I couldn't convince myself that parting with £16k for a car without aircon was going to make me happy. What I really want is an Integra Type-R. But looking at GT-culture, auto trader etc, these cars, '01-'03 models were 16k plus! And yet the YEN price in japan for a brand new 05 ITR is only £14k! So my thinking is, import one myself, this is where i need to do more research. I was looking at j-garage.com, and a guy called Yoshi.. has anyone imported from them before ? can you provide any info about them. As the payment method is an online deposit transfer and then a wired transfer.. i don't feel much reassurance about parting with all that money to a company so far away, what insurances do i have ?
So 14k, + £2500 VAT = £16.5k + ?Import Costs? + ?SVA&Conversion?
Does anyone know what the import costs and the conversion costs will likely to be ? And does anyone know whether there are any other costs involved that i've overlooked ?
Now assuming i have bought the car and Yoshi ships it to the UK, do i pick the car up at the docks or what ? :?: :|
Anyone who has been through this process i'd appreciate any pointers... i know that if i don't get an ITR and i end up with a CTR it'll always be in the back of my mind!!! so help me please :0)
best regards,
Lewis
