Jud1 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 So, I'm gonna go look at one tomorrow, I've spent an age looking around and had pretty much written off the idea until the spring.... /more choice etc. And then ... A JDM, showing 51K, Bright Red, Auto box, which looks incredibly clean inside and out .... 2 small marks on rear bumper being taken car of today / chips away. Appears. states 06 but on a 2002 plate! - never really sure how that works!? - doesn't matter to me Anyway, I've had a v good look through the guide /potential buyers and feel rather prep'd! - My brother is running a background check (is a trader) and, I got a mate coming with me who tinkers in all things petrol (runs very silly standing 1/4's in his 1960's VW Bus!) Nothing to add/ask ... just needed to tell someone ! Will report tomorrow .... best J Quote

Grundy Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 states 06 but on a 2002 plate! Means it is an 02 plate which was imported in 2006 Quote
Lexx Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 It will have been imported into the UK in 2006. But it'll be a 2002 car. Mind and check to see if it has had the brakes upgraded to Brembo's. Quote
Jud1 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 @Lexx ... I noticed some do some don't .... surely not a major prob if not? one hopes the brakes stop the car! :) .. and, that I could add later? - if required! .. I'm no racing driver. Quote

I noticed some do some don't .... surely not a major prob if not? one hopes the brakes stop the car! :) .. and, that I could add later? - if required! .. I'm no racing driver. Exactly. They are just upgraded Brakes (albeit expensive ones) Which are standard on UK cars. You wont crash the car for not having them 1 Quote
Lexx Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Oh it's not essential, but JDM cars don't come with them as standard so it's a nice upgrade to have. The standard brakes will stop you, they're just not fantastic. A set of Brembo's will set you back £500. Maybe gives you a some room to negotiate if it doesn't have them. 1 Quote
Jud1 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 Ah nice point, great idea - we'll be using that! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Check the tyres, they aren't cheap and always good to bargain with 1 Quote
