• Importing (again sorry) Ford Focuses 29 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  I am considering a 2.0i Ghia, the UK spec has lots of nice to have extras as standard. If I import it or buy it from Trade Sales (imported from Spain) can I expect it to have all of the bits that a 'UK Spec' car would have? Anyone got any experience? (particularly with Fords) Thanks 'First Time Importer'

• Australian imports 12 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  There seems to be a large number of Toyota Camry's on offer on the ineternet as australian imports. This is a curious source and one has to wonder on the warranty and servicing implications. If the source is from europe the pan-european warranty applies. Has anyone any experience on the problems associated with australian imports.

• Nissan Navara Cyprus Import - ADVICE 13 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Reading the write ups the Nissan seems to have edge over the L200 when looking at build quality etc.... I'm off this afternoon to view a 2001 plate D22 with 80K on the clock. the car is an import (it was imported from new by the current owner) so only one owner from new. It was a 'correct' import as Nissan honoured the Warrenty and have given it the full service history.. I have never brought an imported car and was hoping (long shot) that some one might have experience with the Nissan?

  My car is an imported Audi s3 (2002). It was built on the same production line as a Uk main dealer supplied car but supplied to me from a German Audi main dealer.(Full UK spec. and much more) Why should it be that some insurance companies refuse to quote because it is a self import ?
