@jerry if you are still looking, have you thought of the UK look at autotrader UK I can help you there


In a separate thread to be found here, someone claimed that UK cars are a lot more "beaten" than Japanese equivalents and that spare parts available locally are not compatible with them. @vky, given your knowledge about these cars, is this at all true?

@sepp, wouldnt know about the "beaten" cars but the ones I have imported including my primera were all clean cars in mint condition, well maintained and with full certified service history/maintainance log, for the spare parts I havent had any complaints about non compatibility, changed the air flow sensor on my primera recently and easily got the part at dt dobie and the problem was fixed, a friend changed the timing belt on her avensis without any hussle so the parts issue is news to me.

Thank you. Even I don't see how two vehicles of the same make and model and the same steering wheel orientation can be said to have incompatible parts.

Have bought from them in the past. They are OK. If you need assistance, I can help you to import for a small fee. I have very good contacts there who give me good discounts since am a regular customer. My contact is:

It doesn't mean all the online traders are not genuine, but the chances your car is below your expectation is high. New trend due to various reasons.
