• Nissan charging to find import spares prices 14 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  Nissan dealers are now charging £25+VAT just to find price and delivery for parts for Jap imports. So if you've got one of these, do as I did, and give them a list of 10 (max) items to get your money's worth, even if you don't want the other items! Strange attitude, considering Toyota now have the capability to find parts for imports at the parts counter FOC.
