Hey just wondering has anyone used ibc japan to import a car. i have been searching and bidding for the last couple of weeks. i have been bidding more than the average price guide that they give to no avail. thinking i might buy an irish one. getting impatient any tips.

Trying to work that one out at the moment.... 10k ish...

Just had alloys refurbished, new BS tyres etc.....
Have to pay tax this week for at least 3 months, am potentially buying a Z but not sure i want to give up the fto just yet. make sure you buy a nice mivec manual, what a car the fto's proven to be!!!

Having owned a Tip GR and a manual GPX I'd have a preference for the manual mivec - theres quite a bit of difference in performance though a manual GR would be no slouch either. Manual GPX's and GPVR's tend to command higher resale and rightly so.
