Anybody who has imported a car from SBT japan.Are they reliable and do they deliver as they promise?Please advice.

I have imported from them when they were called SB Trading...honest guys,professional and always deliver.

Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

@giddy what was your experience?

For i am the master and the captain of my fate !

My experience unfortunately was not good and i never imported with them.One of the sales guys tried to push a 2001 manufactured car but registered in 2002.This two are dates are very tricky i.e. year/date of manufacture and year/date of registration.From my knowledge KRA requires year/date of manufacture to be minimum 2002.the website is www.sbtjapan.com.
But this is my experience,as from other threads people have imported with them.But as a rule of the thumb,make sure year of manufacture is minimum 2002.For japan cars if you have the chassis number you can confirm this at <www.japan-partner.com>.Just type the chassis number and you will get the year of manufacure.And if you need assistance with importation...hola.

I find the FOB prices qouted in this website very high compared to other websites like www.tradecarview.com. Why the big difference? is it all about quality?


Your life is a reflection of your thoughts

@chaka

I tend to differ because i had an issue with the year of reg vs manufacture recently when i was importing a car.KRA uses year of registration and KBS uses year of manufacture.I had imported a car reg in jan 2002 but the belts were showing 2001.KRA dint have an issue but KEBs had to verify physically on the seat belts.But thats my experience.....

@myks

Thats very true.

So for all who need further assistance for vehicle importation.I can assist you.Just hola at <sentiltd@gmail.com>

chaka,,
its not really like the YOM of manufacture is indicated on the seat belt. the seat belt shows its year of manuf.
They argue like- why wud a 2002 car be fitted with a 2001 seat belt,atleast in my case thats what I was told..twas a subaru,dnt know which other vehicles have the same issue.
Btw I confirmed frm www.japan-partner.com,that indeed my car was a 2001 make.

face your fears live your dreams

Now this seats belt thing should not worry you if u know ur way in the port. If your exporter is sincere they should have told you this. Why pple bring 2001 cars reg 2002 is cause they r cheaper. So the savings u make at point of purchase unatoa kidogo kwa port.
@myks pole but thats called the learning curve

@Kwanini,

Pole Bro..So how did the story end?Did you count your losses and are wiser now?
