Dutchie, those look great and the prices make sense to me too - jsuat about what my research had picked up.
The orange is actually quite smart...
I just keep flicking through the galleries and grinning.
Cheers again for all of your replies,

Well, bad news I'm afraid...
It seems that about 18 months ago they moved the goalposts for SVA (Single Vehicle Approval) grey-imports coming into the UK and, as there are hardly any VXs in the UK nobody has had a "model report" done and made it in any way public. This means that to get one in Here I'd be looking at paying about £2700 in testing fees with no guarantee it would pass and having to pay it all again if it didn't. That's on top of Duty (10%), VAT -sales tax- (At 17.5% and applied to the 10% duty too), a standard Ministry of Transport inspection, etc, etc...
What I'm trying to say is that it is in no way viable to import a VX to the UK from Japan. Which is a bugger.
There are only about 50 in the country so I'm now lying low and waiting for a good one to come up. This could take some time...
I;ll let you know how I get on,

lol! You know, you're not the first person to have said that to me!Originally Posted by PHO2GR4
Sadly finances only allow the one car so I'll have to substitute "350z" with "diesel Yaris"...
Thing is that now I've driven one I know its worth the wait...

Best of luck finding the one you want. Hope it occurs sooner rather than later. All I can say is they're worth the wait.
