FAQ's

There are many 'myths' created by English dealers because they don't like people importing cheaper cars from Japan. If you have any queries or concerns about Japanese imports, the following may help;

How do I know if the car I purchase from an auction is legitimate?

Cars are checked to ensure they are legitimate, i.e. not stolen etc., before being accepted by an Auction. You only need to be wary if you are buying a car privately.

Is it difficult to get spare parts?

Will I have difficulty finding Insurance?

Some insurance companies make it difficult, however, if you don't have any joy with your own insurance company, why not try Tesco or Privilege.

We are still being advised by our clients that Direct Line offer competitive quotes for Pajeros (Shoguns), however, you will require a Category 1 Alarm and Immobiliser.

Are Japanese cars less safe than UK specification?

Japanese cars are less used than our own and are generally of a higher specification than a UK model. The Japanese emission standards are higher than the UK, however, you will need to ensure that the car is fitted with items such as fog lights and that the tyres meet UK standards.
