Just wondering if anyone knew what the main pro's and con's of import's are. Ive heard service history can be sketchy, and there is no way to legit know the vehicles mileage on purchase...

any help would be apreciated

Sooty most of vehicle buyers japan's cars comes with a service history from japan, phone the guys. Ull be chatting to em for like half an hour, but it doesnt beat going up there and having a look.

Sooty these guys do the repairs and whatnot themselves, and they do proper services. It is worth going to Newbury and seeing them.

Sooty your a nutter mate...

You will be lucky to get any service history mate but that don't mean it aint been serviced.

Just buy through a VERY reputable company whop deal with these things every day and you won't have any probs as the KM to MPH clocks will already be changed.

Somtimes it's worth paying the extra for the peace of mind....
