• MG RV8 - Researching the mileage of an imported classic car 24 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  The majority of the RV8's were built for the Japanese market.  Many have been re-imported back to the UK and I'm considering buying one from someone who has owned it for 17 years.  It was re-imported in 2000, he bought the car in 2004 and has an MOT certificate from the previous year, but he doesn't know whether the mileage stated included its time in Japan or just since it was re-imported (the KPH/Km speedo/odometer was replaced with a MPH/miles one).

• Imported Car 1 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  Have been offered good prices by the likes of Virgin for full UK specification which are well below What Car Target Price. However I have also been offered a new import from a long established Ford dealer for about £1000 less than the Virgin price. Will only have a two year warranty and though not to full UK specification the missing bits are not important to me and as i will be keeping it for the long term the normal re-sale considerations are not really relevant.Are there good practical reasons why I should avoid an import of this type?
• warranty on import 10 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  As the "proud owner" of an imported car I foolishly assumed that as the dealer has specified that the car has "the remainder of the manufacturer's warranty" that this would be the case. It seems that the UK importer thinks otherwise (h says it probably has none)and is being totally uncooperative even in confirming the origin of the car - which I suspect is Southern Ireland.
• Jeep Wrangler 4.0 1993 5sp - importing spares from the US 24 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  My Jeep requires a fair bit doing to get through the MOT this year and $1000 worth of panels soon after. Time for a refurb.

Has anyone had experience of of larger shipments and specifically the amount of import duty charged when in the UK?
• Imports 3 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  The model I want is the CDX 5 door hatchback 4 speed automatic. My Toyota agent here tells me not buy an import. Onesearch assure me that their import would be the exact same model with the same specifications as the car I would buy in this country. This is very tempting. Do you have any information about this company and what are your comments?
