buds Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 http://www.drivenimage.co.uk Found this dealer through autotrader, and they are now trying to find a Z to my spec. If they can they want a £500 deposit and thats it. I dont pay another penny until i see car landed in uk, and am happy with it. Seems like a very fair way of doing business and the owner, Craig, seemed a very friendly, knowledgeable chap. Basically just wondered if anyone had heard anything good or bad about them? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.hybridimports.co.uk/ These guys have a nice landed import for what seems like good money. Same spec as i want, but not so impressed on the phone. Again anyone heard anything good or bad re these guys? Many thanks Btw if you get bored of my incessant questions re: Dealers, please tell me!

Emperor Ming Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi Mate I bought a GTO - I know I know WASH my mouth out - through an importer and I dic the same thing. Paid £500 up front and then we corresponded via email for quite a long time looking at cars for auction in Japan until the right one ropped. He then impoerted it and i only paid if it was what he and the auction sheet said it was. Good fun but long winded. Took almost 6 months in total. Thats good driving time. I was willing this time to pay a little more and see some 'landed' cars. I have no experience of either firm that you mention but the firm I used turned out to provide good service. I spoke to someone today who bought a 4x4 from them and he had a slight heating problem and for very little money they did good work AND sorted the problem. Hope this helps Ming the satisfied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty Z Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Just had a quick look at the driven image site the black Z he claims is a GT is not It has the 17†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernmc Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I imported my legnum from japland myself. If you're trying to save money buying an import, you might as well do the whole thing yourself, rather than pay a middle man for doing very little. As the Ming says, it's long winded - I also took about 6 months to get the car I wanted, but good fun. Car was certainly a lot better than the tat I'd seen on importer/dealer forecourts here in the uk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
