    Importing from The UK?

    Searched, couldn't find anything about this. SO! Just curious if anyone has imported a vehicle from the UK? Wondering on what the fees would be like vs. importing a vehicle from Japan. Just studying up on this So if anyone has any info on UK importing, that'd be great!

    Same basic rules apply, must be 15 years old, etc.....but you will pay much more. A car in the UK will have cost the owner 3 times what we would pay for the same car. The auction price would be the same but shipping is 5 times ours and then there is the importer mark-up that is much higher than ours.

    A nice R33 GTR here could be as low as $10000 if you import it yourself, you are looking at at least $30k to $40k landed from the UK. Not worth it IMO.

    Holy hell, that's definitely a lot more than I was thinking. It'd be easier to import from Japan... Haha, alrighty! That answers that question, it looks like. Thanks guys!
