We have made things easier for UK customers to purchase from Advanpartners - no more complicated calculations.

To purchase from AdvanPartners let us know which vehicle interests you. We will then double check sales status.

The price quoted so that it is easy for our UK customers to understand. Vehicle prices are landed in the UK with all fees paid, includes the following:

? FOB and purchasing costs
? Transport costs to docks in Japan
? Shipping
? Import duty and VAT
? Shipping agent fee
? Our agent fee

The vehicle once in the UK will need to be picked up, Mot'd and Registered if it is over 10 years old. If it is under 10 years old, it will need a SVA test.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us. You can post a question in the FAQ online forums or you can contact us for more information. For our international customers we can quote the price in FOB and CIF terms.

Tez, what can you tell me about this one, BN_08638696. I have seen it a couple of times going into auction and it hasn't sold. It says A grade and it looks from the auction report like it has had both front wings and the bonnet replaced. Has it been in a heavy front end smash and that is the reason it has not sold at auction. I want a Skyline, this one is my second choice colour and the price is ok but I wouldn't want a car that had been in a major accident.

Thanks

Hi Tez,
VERY interested in a car in advanpartners, namely this one REF:50750
Any information available as to condition, service history, etc would be most welcome via email or PM. (especially as there's no auction sheet to look at and hese cars are due a cambelt change at 60,000 miles and cost about ?400 as it's an engine out job!!)Also seems to be in good nick but a bit concerned by the photo of the interior that's missing a gearknob and has a big scew sitting loose!Finally, are the marks on the rear bumper scratches?Not sure myself as it looks more like bird droppings than anything else lol Laughing

Many many thanks, and hope to hear from you soon!!

Pacman, I have a calculator that works pretty well, pm me if you want a copy. You need Exel to be able to use it though.

Midnite - Is it the same as the cost calculator built into the site? I wasn't too sure about that one as before they changed the site to show the UK Landed price, the cost calculator was producing higher figures in GBP Confused

I do have Excel and if you could send me the spreadsheet for working it out i would appreciate it. my email address is staintoncraig@hotmail.com

cheers, craig Exclamation

No pacman it is not the same as the Advan calc. I made mine with some help from Glanma and Msdunn, who gave me the info I needed to work out what costs were involved with importing from Japan. I will mail it to you, let me know how you get on. If you need any help just post what you need although for the most part it is pretty self explanatory.

cheers MidNite, i got it and it seems very good indeed :D

Although i think perhaps i am not entering all the values as its working out about ?200 cheaper than the weebsite calculator.

Rather than clog this thread up with my queries, i'll fire you a quick email just confirming a couple of things.

cheers!
