Advice on importing a 350z

[weewizard]

Hi Guys this is my first time on the forum and as yet I do not own a 350z

 

I was looking at buying one from Japan and with the help of an agent here in the UK get it imported and registered etc etc.

 

I was going to use these guys http://www.tmimports.net/. Has anyone used them before?

 

Also has anyone bought a 350z from Japan, who may wish to give some free advice to me.

 

Any help greatly appreciated

 

Cheers

Welcome,

 

I imported mine direct from Japan and the worry is you pay out a lot of money to people that are internet based and hope your car turns up, if i was looking now i would buy one that is already in the UK, so you can see and buy.

Yes the import 350 I bought was already in the Uk and fully sorted, I think it saved me a lot of time and sleepless nights worrying about who had my car and money in Japan

probably paid a little over the odds, but I could see exactly what I was getting

Plenty for sale by the way at what looks like rock bottom prices at present

Hi mate

 

Im doing the same but looking with this company http://www.japaneseauctions.co.uk/index.php

they seem ok and cheaper than the one your going with

[weewizard]

cheers for the advice,

 

Lee what sort of money have you been looking at for a 350?

 

Have you ordered one yet / bid on one?

 

let me know, maybe we can have a chat I would love to get one via auction but would like to speak to people about there experiences, after all its a lot of cash to part with

 

cheers

Hi

Mate

 

they said id be look around £15500 for a 350z with the full pack, 53reg or newer with less than 20k UK miles, not orded as yet not seen nothin i want really, maybe if we got our heads together they could do 2 cheaper??

 

PS that price is on the road 2

Personal experience with TM (used to import cars myself too) - They are cheap but communications with the customer are poor and I had an experience with them which was less than satisfactory (car arrived not as fully described inc. problems with stereo, antiroll bar bearing, chipped paintwork etc)

 

End of the day you pays your money and get what you pay for so IMO I'd go with a bigger company and pay the extra dosh for that peice of mind. If your new to the import game I think it's worth looking at JDM's already in the UK as said above you get to see the vehicle before handing over a lot of money.

 

Anymore info feel free to PM me, don't really like going into detailo r.e companys on a public forum
