Lmao. There's a Prelude INX available in Japan I keep looking at.

Nitin, there's also a few other costs I forgot. Transport from the UK port to your house as you cannot drive it yet, and about £30 for a set of plates.

Yes buddy, I'm new to the import game. Not sure how much I'll be doing.

Yeah and that too. There's also £10 to have your paper work sent to you via fedex from Japan.

Let's say the car I wanted is in Japan for £2800. By the time I get it on the road here how much will the total be.?
Costs in Japan:

£2800 for car.
About £350 for auction fees, inland transport to the port, de-registration in Japan.
£600 shipping to UK.

Total: £3750.

Costs in UK:

10% import duty and 20% VAT on total price in japan = £4950
£50 uk registration fee.
£30 MOT
£25 fog light
£130 road tax

Grand total: £5185.

Wicked.

For future reference.

On my spare time I used to search on Trade car reviews to see what car are available in the JDM land to buy.

Just noticed something, about 6 months - 1 year ago there used to be at least 20+ Preludes (all generations) and now there are only 6.

Last time I had a look about in the UK there were more NSXs for sale than Preludes
