Before you buy

Questions to ask the seller

  • Can I see the export certificate and the original Japanese auction sheet?
  • What has been changed or modified since the car arrived in the UK?
  • Power sliding door and tailgate motor faults: has this been checked?
  • Japanese-market radio and sat-nav need a band expander or replacement in the UK: has this been checked?
  • Check every seat motor and the rear air conditioning: has this been checked?

Honest limits
