A lot are usually under sealed when under going SVA tests etc - doesn't cost much to do. With regards to gradings, anything a 4 or over is a very nice/tidy car. Same with anything, you pays your money.. | |

I import cars as Mav says, my website is www.maxsportmotors.co.uk give me a shout if you'd like any info :) Insurance used to be tricky but with the amount of cars coming in I think insurance companys have become a lot easier to deal with now when insuring a 'grey' import. | |

quote: Depends what type of import you go for. I'm importing a Gen 4 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 sometime over the summer. I have found that the insurance is comparable to what I'm paying for my V6 Astra. So that's not bad for a 300bhp RWD car. Grey or 'Jap' imports as seen as something slightly different by insurance companies. Not sure why though. | |
