Hi I am a new user of this forum and am considering importing a Nissan Stagea '02 model from Japan with 128K. I want to know if anyone has heard of or had favorable (or otherwise) experience with Japan Partner which is a export clearance yard with cars in Nagoya and Osaka. Also after scouring the forum for afew minutes it seems that the Stageas are quite reliable and are mostly running and not tied up with repairs.
The grievances other than seemingly routine maintenance like water pumps, seals and timing belts I've heard so far are quite minor ie. innacurate fuel guage and some cabin water entry
I've been driving Volvo wagons (RWD) for a while and while reasonably happy I'm looking for a high tech RWD/AWD N/A or turbo beast for daily driving for the next few years. I do all my own maintenance.
Of course I know you're all going to say they're great cars (and they certainly look impressive) but I was interested in availability of spares (I'm OK with ordering from the USA if this saves substantial moola)
Should I get an import broker to get involved or can I handle the procedure myself?
