LEXUS/TOYOTA'S Being Imported

[Monster-Mat]

all japanese cars require undersealing on entry to the uk

they dont require underseal in japan as the climate is so temperate

[dream machine]

ok, for those who were in chat the other night, i have got an example of a car that i will be bringing in soon.

Altezza RS200 Z Edition

TRD front, rear and side skirts, Toms Barrel exhaust

41,000km (25,000 miles)

2000 model

after all costs, including importing, but NOT SVA(£500)

THIS CAR WILL SELL FOR £9,500

Who would be intrsted in similer vehicles

Is the insurance any more expensive?

Are you sure about the Lexus models? All the MR2 and Supras I looked at had underseal which was not applied in the UK. Looked at an FTO once for a friend and it was just paint underneath. Seems Toyota underseal their cars and other manufactures don't.

[Monster-Mat]

are you sure there not done on entry to the UK

[TonyGoose]

My Turbo MR2 had underseal when i brought it to the UK.

Maybe they all have some but the european ones have more ??

[ColinBarber]

No, I saw my MR2T the day the dealer got it and it was undersealed. All the other Toyota imports I have looked at have had underseal which looked the age of the vehicle and not having just been applied.

[Monster-Mat]

well if they come undersealed.........billy bonus

[Veece]

Any prices on Supras Yet ?

:D

[Monster-Mat]

no sorry veece, there seems to be no supras in the auctions at themoment, but i do look everynight i assure you.

if peeps who are intrested in this , come and grab me at JAE i will explain the process, as i have decided to make it even cheaper for people to do it, under a new and very simple way

however, if we can try and do it once rather than me spending all JAE talking about importing cars

[Steve]

i wont come and grab you :winky: .. but i will be intersted in listening!.. perhaps have a get together.. (group of members.. not mat and I!) :duh:

[Monster-Mat]

[Matthew_McNally]

steve you will not belive the price that windoms are going into auction at.......96- models aswell :duh:

[Steve]

[Veece]

Not to worry - appreciate the help - won't have the cash until around September anyway.

Let me know if you come across any though, just to give me a rough idea of what I can expect for my money. :)

Thanks again.

Mat

Sent you a PM re: importing a car - not sure if you're unable to read email at the mo'. Am looking at purchasing a IS200/Altezza in the VERY near future and have a budget between 9-10k.

Problem is, as I'm car less, will struggle to make it to JAE this weekend - would appreciate any guidance on this matter.......

Cheers

Ant

PS - can't wait to join all you IS200 chaps - will be procuring a gold membership sometime soon as well!

[Claire G]

Where are you from Ant? Perhaps someone can give you a lift?

[AnthonyHart]

Live in Surrey - just outside of London but will be in Brum this eve then back to London for prior engagements.

Very much appreciate the thought though...

[daz1701d]

Mat,

I've been looking for a UK-spec W 2000 or later IS200 SE.

Just joined the forums and saw your post about imports, so very interested.

Budget of £11k+, ideally silver or blue. SE or Sport models fine.

Can you help?

[Steve]

i inspected an aristo that was imported last year and i could see that it has been sprayed with underseal as it looked pretty fresh
