Hi if you have purchased a vehicle from an import joint like J-Spec or Prestige Motorsport, can you tell me what I need to look out for ? Catches etc...
Thanks Les

I have. Everything will be explained to you properly so there arent any catches there. The biggest catch is buying a car that you have never seen in the flesh, heard running or driven. However having done it myself i would recommend it to anyone.

I can only say i've half had experience with j-spec. It was my friend who bought a car thru them, but I was with him. So far everything has been exactly what they said would.
