Good god! Seems to be a lot involved in the upkeep of one. That info above seems to rule out going to the shops and back in one!

Mind you it's not often I do that so it should be ok. The fuel consumption I have heard about and it is a bit of a worry.... I won't be looking to buy a fresh import either, rather something that's been here a while with evidence of a full UK MOT.

You have to go through the hassle of getting a fresh import set up right for UK use don't you?

I'm gonna be taking a loan out to buy the car so I don't want another bill for an engine rebuild a year or two down the line

There's a nice one on the trader at £5300 that's 71k and been rebuilt in japan (supposedly), something like that may actually be better than a 45k car.....

To the tune of scooby doo: Ne-ophy-tou, where are you, I need your jap car knowledge!

I dunno what's wrong with me this morning
