    I know that this may sound bias, but WOW, are their cars expensive. They buy at auction and put a profit on it. That's their line of business. Ours is different, we buy at auction on behalf of clients and charge a fixed fee.

    They do have a nice website though (better than mine).

    Overdrive or cineaction is mostly a scam.

    Half those vehicles can be found on other Japanese car sites for a lower cost.

    Don't deal with them.

    The extra price will get you nothing over dealing with the ppl who own the cars directly.

    I never have and never will.

    I'm sure their service might be somewhat decent but the service everywhere in Japan is fairly top notch...

    ...if there is a car you are looking at let me know and I might be able to find the original source for you.

    Yes I've heard the same thing aswell.
    If your looking for a vehicle other then a skyline, I would use Importconcern. And just plan on spending 1 - 2000 on full tune up
    scratch, chip, fix and polish the paint and get a new set of tires and your car will be in great standing order.

    because they do recieve cheaper vehicles every now and then.

    If you want a skyline or a GTR www.theskylineshop.com imports the Highest grade skylines you'll possibly find. all the GTST's are Fantastic Examples.

    And the GTR's, they rebuild the entire engine before they sell it to you, so its like a bran spanking new vehicle. Very expensive however...
