Hi, I am considering importing a Nissan Cube through Advanauctions. If anyone has done this I'd appreciate their views. I am particularly interested to learn about maintenence of the car as I am looking to buy a fairly high mileage vehicle. Do parts have to be imported specially? Tyres, oil filters and air filters etc. If I bump the car, can panels be sourced? Do Japanese Cubes need much for the SVA test? I love the look of the Cube but wonder if owning one in Scotland is utterly impractical. Any help much appreciated.
