jbdevon Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hi i'm new to this site and was looking for a little advice. i've seen several JDM's for sale and currently have my eye on two for sale at http://www.car-imports-direct.com/ one's hi mileage 69,000 with a GT pack and there's a lower mileage one both around 14,000. Has anyone had any dealings with this company? Are they cheap or can i do better? Thanks in antic Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Ming Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hi Mate Tiptronic will be cheaper than manual and there are a fair few options trim and accessory wise so shop about. Drive a few first and see how they feel so you will know a good one rom a bad one. Delivery should be SILKY smooth and the gearbox possibly slightly notchy. No clunks bangs crunches etc. Good hunting Ming the Happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Most decent dealers would hold a car for a few hours if you are travelling a fair distance to view it. Probably a good idea to call them and tell them you are on the way and give them an eta. The dealers you are looking at are decent guys IMO, i used to see a lot of their cars down at Avonmouth SVA test station and they always had nice looking cars. Dave.

jbdevon Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 Yeah, the guy seemed a little embarrassed. yeah i should have rung them before i left but i had spoken to them the day before. Good thing is they said they will hold the next cars back until i view them, so i can have first dibs. Only prob is the next auto they are having in has orange leather.... eewwwhhh dunno what i think of that yet, looks a little odd in a silver car. Whats the veiws on orange leather? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the veiws on orange leather? cheers Yep, I didn;t like the orange leather in Silver either. I think the best combo is with black/tan and went for the orange to brighten the interior. The only issue I have is some patches are stretched and you can see the dark layer below giving black stretch marks. Don't know if anyone else gets this.
