To be honest, I've no idea re: Japanese imports and mileage, was hoping the hive mind might be able to offer some advice :)
Recently had this idea of considering thinking about maybe getting one and almost immediately spotted that example. The UK one with similar miles (but better condition) that @el_presidente was looking at was on for £9k, IIRC... What's the usual difference in price between a genuine UK car and an import? Any thoughts on whether it's a dreadful idea all round?
@el_presidente I'm finding it pretty tough to justify myself, but if UK holidays are the way forward then a bit more room would be nice. And I do miss my old mk1 octavia vrs estate, so easy to chuck bikes etc in the boot!
@ColinTheBald had a quick read up on grey imports vs parallel imports. Would this still be considered a grey import if the same model was sold over here, or would it be considered a parallel import?
