Guest iangibson57 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi Guys, Just need a question answering from any body which has paid for an import. I am going to look at a 1994 auto non turbo supra import. The guy am going to see has had it for 3 years and got it from import what documents should he have received once he received the car from import. Thanks for your help Ian;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Deregistraion certificate in Japan. MOT certificate for when it arrived & was registered here (plus those since would be a bonus) Posh new version of the V5 with matching details as he tells you (date registered, engine & chassis number if they're on it) If you're lucky... Sales slip/receipt from the Japanese auction house erm........ can't remember if there will be anything else - ask Jurgen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Carrying on this theme.... Is there any issue if the seller said that he had no documentation on the vehicle? I presume I should do a HPI check/Police check but anything else? ric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this is correct but it may not have been bought from an auction, but always worth an ask, but not needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Thanks Sorry that an a valid MOT A guy came into me the other day and he bought a 300zx for sily amounts with no mot, got an mot done locally and the repair work on the car came to nearly the amount he paid for the car! just to get it through one! total nightmare and completely insane why this guy bought the car without this!!!
