just keep looking at classifieds to gain an idea of prices/specs/condition, try get an idea of what money different cars are going for.
no need to think about the specifics of importin yet if you still have to save,
keep an eye on driftworks, japanese used cars, and powervehicles.
buying here is hands down better for the cheaper/ lower spec cars as talk of this ressesion stuff makes people sell cheap and also makes the exchange rate bad, which means you now get something shite like 140JPN per Pound, compared to 200-240 a few years ago.
by the time your actually going to buy a car you will have found out all you need to know about the details of importing.
as Fredrick Balls said; look at his past posts or search for importing, as he explained in detail each of the costs involved.
just keep looking and comparing cars and trey compare price Vs spec.
sort of just typed what ever poped into my head but, any questions ask.
Cheers Mate Helped Alot Il Do that and prob will end up buyin here its just when you see the lovely cars over there with the animal price tags you get carried away :) But Thanks Ha
at the moment the way things are over here, its not always cheaper, but one thing il say is if ur importing on the right site ull get exactly what ur lookin for, im after buyin a r32 from japan and its grade four with just the few extra's it want, costin 4000 on the road, i coulda bought a r32 over here a lot cheaper but dont think i could have got as as clean or what i wanted for what i payed
i used the old reliable www.ibcjapan.co.jp which iv used 3 times before without a problem
buy from the auction's (idirect) as they have nothing in there stock ;)
Speak to Carpo on here, he seems to find some nice cars

Yea sorry bout that!!
Franky is on the money. Realy the only reason to import these days is to get eactly what you want, not to save money. My wifes S14a will be the guts of 10k on the road. Thats big money here for a car with no wide kit and standard internals, but i know exactly what im getting so im happy to pay that...

importin is only good wen u want a car exactly to spec or close as ud get u wont save much money if any these days.
Ye I wouldn't be looking for one exactly what i want just really a nice clean engine bay,struts,gauges,coil overs the usual like especially the engine bay its something i really don't like is having to clean it ha im a lazy little thing:)
But After All that rambling il stay in ireland most likly.....

who cares if its clean?? it wont be clean for long if your driving it properly... unless your the type who would drop 10k on a car and spend more time lookin at it then drivin it
You can pic up a s13 200sx for pennies these days
Well Quite the opposite that car will be drove like a mad thing but i want her to stay looking mint....:D

:eek: :cool: Then call the car a tramp and really wind people up. :D
Lad, your only 14..... Where ya gonna drive it??
Dont be wastin time and wreckin lads heads puttin up bullshit threads. Even if ya have the money to buy a clean car, it'll be 3 years before you can even get a licence. So unless your Da is loaded and is gonna buy you a nice car to wreck in a field somewhere, stop talkin out your hoop.
90% of lads on here hate bullshitters so if you dont want abuse, dont talk shite!
Ye ohh i no that but i have an old shity tramper, its for the future and im turn in 15 soon and want to get the car get it looking mint:D Sorry if im timewastin didn't think i was it was a proper question. Also My father wants to import a pajero for some stupid reason he has two of them...he thinks its a good idea Ha

If youre that set on importing, then try powervehicles.com. Not the cheapest but Andy is trustworthy and you'll get what youre looking for with all the spec and an option to tune it further before it leaves japland, but if I was you, id watch this site along with donedeal.ie and a few more for what youre looking for and if somehow at 14 if youve cash to spend, then you'll get what you want in this country for way less than in Japan these days. I had a jap import company for 3 years so I know what im talking bout!
