Has anyone personally imported a 300zx themselves, I have my eye on one at a dealership however the importers close to me seem to want a bit too much to bring it in, the car is 330,000 yen roughly 1800 quid and im looking at £4k in charges.

What's up with yours? Or did you just want the shell?

I've done it all without being big headed!

What u paying for it, then ur marine insurance, inspection,shipping which port?

Who r u dealing with?

PM me if u want or email me,

Put 300ZX as ur header because it will go to my junk box & I will pick it out!

Looking at mine 378.000 yen! Approx £2300 All in to UK.

Then when it gets to UK ,

Terminal handling charge

Delivery Order

Import Duty

Import VAT

Customer Clearance Fee

That would come close to 1K

After that ur MOT & UK DVLA registration & tax = depends on work done! £600

Transportation from docks to home or MOT to home? £200

So for you to get it at 4K with all that done & on the road is about right!

Did you get a breakdown of the charges? It's an expensive process, but the agent I used only charges commission of 10% of the actual sale value of the car. Others I've found here charge €500 or €800 flat.

good thing about using an agent in the UK is they do everything for u.

 

If they are charging 10% of the actual sale of ur car which in ur case £180 ?

 

Yep that's about right with a final bill around 4K! On the road.

Final bill is 5800 4k is just charges 1800 on top of that

My cars at a dealership in japan who did you deal with in japan ?

To put this in perspective somewhat, I paid about €2,700 on top of the actual car sale price. That includes everything except for vehicle registration; shipping costs, EU import duty, taxes, agent fee, etc.

 

Buying from a dealer is usually going to be a lot more expensive than from auction, but that's only due to the sale price of the car itself.

I bought mine through tradecarview.com

They have a good half a dozen Zds on their site at this moment.

You can search Nissan Fairlady their all around 2-3K to get to uk!

Then you get a clearing agent at the port its coming to, thats going to be approx 1K

Then U have to MOT it then reg with DVLA! Simples!!

I've decided to go with Darren at Torque GT, hopefully I get some good news tomorrow :-)

Good luck. There's been a couple of really nice late models at auction this week

What auction sites are you guys looking on please

I look on car sensor.net and goo-net.com they are more like auto trader in japan, the only reason I am going for an auction car is because the guys at torque gt found me a nice one, I know jdm auction watch let's you browse the auctions if you register
