GranTurismoEra Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 The base price of Sport and ST models are coming down and used should be sub £30,000 by January 2025 when production normalises. A lot of people are already running the car in Japan. In US some are being sold by first owners. In Japan only a handful are being given up. The cheapest ive seen are left hand drives in US. In Japan ive seen £32,000-35000 shipped. Obviously you will need another £10,000 to clear. This is roll on roll off. The risk of damage and sea salt on your car when unloading or loading. Nothing a jet wash and sealant cant fix. Lol. Container is around £5,000. Safer just drive it out of a grounded container as opposed to off a steep ramp. The clearance percentage includes the container and marine insurance costs Thats a 22 or 23 plate with hardly any miles. For anyone looking. Personally if using a merchant id get the address and go see what im buying and make sure it gets to the port. 😂 On the flipside you can import a GR86 or BRZ for around £17,000....why pay £30,000 for a UK car. Can even get an Automatic too. Not many GR Corollas though. What a shame! 1 Quote

GranTurismoEra Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Still a tad bit pricey door to door. for a 2024 with low miles and Sport or Touring spec seems decent compared to the competition. Just that VAT....once its 10 years old no more VAT....Theyll be 20k by then lol Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted January 19 Posted January 19 (edited) Save 2k on a 30k import. Car must be manufactured in Japan. 2032 is when youd no longer pay VAT on the earliest 2022 MY Edited January 19 by GranTurismoEra Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Warm your tires up before stepping on it and avoid gravel 😂 Quote

Its literally your car with 8 year old VR engine. Be good to get a closer look ngl... Depends on the spec. Cheapest example now is 38k all in. Not necessarily a 22 plate but even a 24 plate Sport spec. If it had come to UK you be paying Supra prices of around 50k to 56k New. Oh he used a company. Hassle free but add another 3k or so for services and someone standing at the port for 10 hours. Edited April 4 by GranTurismoEra 1 Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted April 8 Posted April 8 (edited) Track day? A bit dreary considering recent sunny weather. Decent handling and pace. Terrible tyres, remind me of Potenzas. Edited April 8 by GranTurismoEra Quote
davey_83 Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Lovely to see more right hand drive New Z footage, enjoyed that. Yeah loose those stock Potenza rubbers and the car would settle down nicely. Very good driver is Chris to be fair. Quote

Give it another year theyll be 20k or less. Duty still discounted..Hes got the Performance/Touring. Dont need the extra Tech and weight. Sport spec is cheaper, lighter can always change the wheels etc. I saw a performance spec with Nismo bodykit. You can even buy the updated recaros from recaro suppliers but theyre not cheap. £2900 + shipping. Reasonable actually. If anyone's importing one, would be good to see the car at the port and the process. Found the seats i think https://www.nengun.com/recaro/sportster-cl210h Edited April 11 by GranTurismoEra Quote
davey_83 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 I'd love one pal, just don't have the dollars for the monthly payments Quote
