Import A DeLorean?

[steve.s]

there is not really a get rich quick scheme.

i have imported many cars from Japan. you buy a car, normally at auction, on some elses description, you have not seen or tested it, soemtimes little history, you don't know the seller.

there are so many pitfalls, ie i bought an eunos roadster (MX5) grade 4.5 (very high in Japan).

drove it home from Southampton. When home saw a split in the alloy, so ended up with new alloys and tyres.

then bad blemish on the bonnet, £400 spray. Luckily had a customer who had paid that extra (as it had a body kit, roll bar etc) so still made a bit.

but say you need the alloys refurbed and new tyres, that could be £5-600 alone?. calipers discs etc £300 or so refurbed and new discs.

if you do it do it for the love of the car, not really for profit.

not saying you cannot make a profit, but is not an easy ride. and you money will be gone for a couple of months!.

should a ship ever go down with your car you are highly unlikely ever to see any money,even if you have marine insurance.
Also you chance it being broken into on board!.

not trying to put you off of course!!!!!!.
