Yet Another - well maybe....


Recommended Posts

Thanks to all for a great welcome :)

 

I've read through about what to look for when buying (Extremely helpful, thanks to all concerned), but could someone please tell me the pitfalls/probelms of Jap (grey) imports, as they seem to predominate in the sale market at the moment.

Hi Don

 

You can find loads of info on the differences using the search function but the high level differences are

 

UK ones have been on UK roads so tend to be more prone to corrode

Jap ones have clocks in KM's and are limited to 110mph (can be de-limited)

They have folding mirrors not heated ones

Thats about the worst of it although I'm sure someone will be along to add more. I have a Jap one so I'm biased. The insurance is apparently more on a jap one but it made no difference to my insurance.

The key is finding a good one both UK and Jap can be abused. Lots of history or usual signs of a caring owner are the key. No different to any other car really.
