• Import insurance 17 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  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 ?

• 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?

• Honda Civic 1.6iES Auto 3 door (99) - Japanese Import 1 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  _ I have a clean licence and am over 50. As far as I could see, nothing in the paperwork told me the car was a so called 'import' and nothing was noticeable on the car itself -nothing in japanese etc!! Have I missed something and how is one supposed to know a car is an 'import' before you buy? Who would be the best insurers for so called 'Imports'?

  How can you tell if a car is an import? I've seen the thread about a BMW bought from a dealer at a great price, but there was no conclusion as to how to identify if it was an import. My '03' Merc was bought from a dealer but was registered by a (UK based) fleet company.
