Japanese car imports

[ellhawkes]

Hi, thanks for looking, I am a noob at the import game and I am starting to look for my dream car.. either a Skyline R33/34 or a Silvia s14/s15

My question is this.. I have read through this forum and I notice a couple of members.. Midnight etc have had extensive damage to there vehicles upon arrival. Is this commonplace? I really want to use this service and intend to be spending around £9000 but only for the right vehicle, and I dont want any damage when the car arrives this side..

Is it a case of this been a gamble you take or is it rare for people to have there car's damaged durin transit..

Also what is the best route to take in peopel experience.. Am I better to go down the route of buying via auction or direct from Advan on the stock page..

Like I say, my main concern is that I fork out a shed load of money.. and end up with .. well, a shed!

Hope you guys can help me and help get the ball rolling for me.

Regards,

Elliott
