Hi All,

Currently driving an Altezza AS200, which I bought Locally here in Ireland. I am now keen to import an RS... There seem to be a plethora of import companies offering all sorts of different services. I am leaning towards Bonsaicars. Anyone have any experience of importing with them or any other company... good or bad, I would be very gratefull to hear about it.

Scott has sorted a car for me and its a damn good thing he knows Altezzas or I guess I'd be still waiting for the car to pass ESVA ( he did most of the work rather than the test station)

One of the lads at work dealt with them and they were excellent - Zee was telling me about them too when he was looking into getting the Sylvia last year....

I came across this forum and felt compelled to reply as your comments have hit a chord.

I bought a Altezza from this company earlier this year, I have since discovered it had been in a serious accident - I had a minor prang to the car and on inspection an engineer found major damage to chassis and other areas which had been poorly repaired and sprayed over to conceel it.

I would seriously advise people to avoid this dealer - of course this is my own opinion and I am to say the least more than annoyed with them (I am £9k out of pocket).
