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?

Here is Mat's one for sale

With all those mods insurance may be expensive.

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!
