Insurance might be weird about it. I noticed when I was looking recently that there are a tonne of great looking Japanese imports at too-good-to-be-true prices. Pretty sure it's because they're tricky to insure.
There are people who sing their praises - Japanese cars are incredibly well looked after for cultural and regulatory reasons, salt-free roads means less rust, etc. But also long lists you can find online of all the things that need to have been done right during the import/conversion process.
