Cruising

Thanks for all your input people, is most appreciated. Anyone had any dealings with Bonsai Cars?, Reason I ask is they are close to me so would be ideal if they were reputable?

What Mods ?? :D

Hey people, I have just sold my old car and am in process of gettin a new one, I have around £12K to spend (little more at a push). I have been looking through Autotrader and suchlike, for an IS200SE (which I have now most definatly decided on), however, I keep getting tempted by teh imported models advertised by Bonsai Cars... I was hoping people could let me know any downsides to purchasing the RS200 as opposed to the IS200SE, I notice that the imports are generally cheaper with lower milage and are alot quicker? the concerns I have are, ;- Insurnace>Will this be alot more than a std UK car? ;- Maintenence costs>Will the import be any more to service/get fixed if anything goes wrong? ;- I also having trouble finding an Altezza with leather, is this just me or are they rare? ;- Are the dials in KM? Your help with the above would be most appreciated, and any other comments regarding the comparrision of JAP/UK cars would be gratefully received!! Thanks again! Cruising!
