Darren your comments are interesting.
What is the duty rate applicable in respect of used cars entering the UK and what price would the car in question fetch today, on your market? Do you have any facility whereby used cars are imported from Japan in bulk as it were, on special car transporting vessels as we do?
I would think that there would be no rush of buyers at all, if the car was offered here at NZ$10,000. Say Stg.3,700. At a net cost price ex auction in Japan of Yen 700,000, say NZ$8,000 things do not add up.
It would appear that either N.Z. importers are very astute, or you are not buying on the right market.
Have a look here, as well as at other listings. --
