Thinking of importing a Japanese car?

Then please think again, this was the idea I had, I'm the wrong side of 50, and I don't have a pension, although I have my own business, it's getting to be hard work, so I wanted to do something that I was interested in, something I would enjoy doing, something that didn't involve to much work........importing Japanese cars,....big mistake, the company I chose was Bell Trading Ltd, as with most Japanese exporters you have to pay up front, all you will ever see of your car until it reaches you are photographs (very cleverly taken photographs) if there's a rip in the seat or a dent in the door, you won't see it in the photo.
Now don't get me wrong there are a lot of good Japanese exporter, but Bell Trading are possibly the worst I've come across, I bought 4 cars from them, before I made up my mind.....take a good look at the photos.......fine they look ok, next any mechanical problems, all you can do here is ask via email, no problems they said, ok then they must be alright, so I paid them, and they were shipped (takes 5 weeks if your lucky)
They arrived at Southampton, check them over, everything seems to bo ok.......until you actually get them home and have a really good look.
On top of the price I paid for the cars, I must have spent another £3000 on repairs, so profit? ............forget it.
The moral of the story.......import cars if you must but be careful, ask as many questions as possible, get as many photos as you possibly can.....but stay away from BELL TRADING LTD.
