What am I missing, I thought 2009 cars are within the 8-yr rule? You're missing the rule  1st Jan 09-31st Dec 09-Year 1 1st Jan 10-31st Dec 10-Year 2 1st Jan 11-31st Dec 11-Year 3 1st Jan 12-31st Dec 12-Year 4 1st Jan 13-31st Dec 13-Year 5 1st Jan 14-31st Dec 14-Year 6 1st Jan 15-31st Dec 15-Year 7 1st Jan 16-31st Dec 16- Year 81st Jan-31st Dec 2017-Year 9 If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Hi, Which importers do people use nowadays apart from SBT? I find SBT not to have variety of the Legacy Wagon 2010 - Subaru. For those with experience, which importer would have more variety?
Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.

For those with experience, which importer would have more variety? mimi huona the main ones being sbt na beforward at least they seem to have some local presence. lakini this legacy wagons seem to have very high millage, from most of the japan used car sites.

I believe the wagons are mostly used for long distance driving in those parts of world, so they tend to rack up more miles than the average city cars.. So, nothing to mean they're used up any more than their city counterparts. But I am not entirely sure. Thanks for your input on the Import Site options.

NO no, its not that I am importing now and expecting to received in Jan 2018. I am aware of shipping schedules, have imported cars from Japan before. This was a hypothetical qstn for those who would want to import later in the year, and then it lands in the next year when it is time-barred - do they like give an allowance of say 3 months in such cases?

I think they may consider when it got shipped out/when the vessel left port of departure. If it takes like 3 months to arrive due to vessel breakdown or transshipment issues, they may waive all the penalties. But I guess one would need a lot of paperwork.

Anyone with experience with any of these Japanese car dealers: Be Forward, Papera and IBC?
I have brought in several cars through SBT, but have no experience with these other 3.
I find Be Forward to be very cheap, are the cars good quality?

Indeed, Beforward have cheap cars most of the time especially non Toyotas. I have bought 3 cars from them and they were generally ok. Shipping was abit slow though.

Tradecarview is not an exporter per se..its a portal for exporters to advertise themselves..that's my understanding.. Intelligentsia wrote:Any wazuan with experience importing with tradecarview?

I am with JPCTRADE. You are welcome to register online. After registering, you can have a look and we will assist you in answering any questions you may have. Thank you. On your comment, I have been looking at some cars on auction at JPCTRADE and analysing what the auction sheet says. I'm finding some discrepancy. The comment behind the score reflected in the auction sheet does not harmonize with the actual mileage reflected on the same. I'm using the provided tips to make this conclusion. I've seen this over several cars and models. Why is that?
