    margins are quite big on the unusual or sporty stuff, ex japan stuff looks cheap on auction results, there isn't much competition on buying because the stuff is all RHD, no appetite for buyers in surrounding asia, i can't understand how it pays to import a prius though??

    Huge demand in the Caribbean and ex colonies for EV and Hybird - keeps prices high


    Not that cheap when you factor in what it costs to land one here and register with all the fees

    An non-trade friend of mine on a non-motoring forum purchased a Japanese imported BMW from a performance and prestige car dealer here in the UK. I could not see the 'advantage' of a Japanese car as the spec appears the same, maybe in better condition underneath but 'meh' why bother? And other than the odd classic skyline or Subaru I thought the whole Jap import thing was dead?

    Lots of used Prius coming through - I do wonder what the margin is after competing with worldwide buyers + shipping etc

    I'd argue that they were always fetching more than they are worth, but all Land Rover models have suffered huge drops this year despite demand being constant.

    Especially Disco 4 - last year 2010/2011 models retailed for £17-19k and booked at mid teens.

    Look at them now !

     

    Is it just me ?

    So there all shit? And dont follow the report?

    Reckon they will accept the return?

    Not all, but more than other vendors in terms of % as confirmed by many other in the hall

    They absolutely refused to take back one which I had to refurb the turbo for. Got £200

    Helps to get ahead doesn't it. That and a natural ability to know what sells and tell which cars will break down on the way home and what will fly out and not come back under warranty :blink:

    I like how you are sticking M Performance kits onto all your M Sports.

    Belgrave Motor Company in Sheffield started off fitting replica M Sport wheels onto base spec ES / SE E90s and look at them now

    There has been a further dip on the Sterling exchange rate recently hence a few more Irish buyers.  I also expect they are trying to get in before the potential Brexit fiasco.

    I've have started to notice more trade cars from N.I aiming to sell to England which I thought was unusual
