Hi all, anyone who used SVI or J-spec here have any feedback? As I am based in Brisbane, where SVI is I'm more keen to go with them but J-Spec seems to be a very popular option. Just wanna hear some feedback from people who've used SVI before. PM me if you need to.

Cheers

+1 for J-spec.... Just got my Stagea a few days ago, and so far I'm absolutely stoked with it.... Cheapest S1 I've seen, and very clean throughout.... Also have to say that I'm very happy with Seaway/KIWI.

i work for j-spec :) they rock. think we've imported 99% of the stagea's on this forum.

I fall under this percentage - my silver baby is currently in transit and Mr Moor's assistance has been outstanding. :D

Viva La J-Spec! :)

Ben and Craig at J-Spec really look out for you. I've imported 3 cars now, 2 with J-Spec and I have been thru the process with other companies and haven't found them as "YOU" focussed as J-Spec. I am fussy about ANY surface rust anywhere on the car and Ben simply checked every car that looked good and even if it was a specced up brilliant car, if it had any r-u-s-t he would steer me away from it, even though he could have let me buy and got me outa his hair many times. You'll be happy with what you end up with, with J-Spec... Another well known company was happily dishing up 15 or so Legnums I could buy every day (when I thought that was what I wanted). Ben knew what I wanted, clued me in on Legnums (95% will have some minor rust, somewhere in/on the car - just a well know reality - but said he would hunt for one if I really wanted one!) and faithfully searched for what I wanted in a Stagea (RWD, mods, fruit, km's, etc) and it took 8 weeks to find something we were both happy with. Because of him I will own a more dependable, reliable, modification-friendly, value-packed and, importantly, 'hold it's value' kind of vehicle. If my wife doesn't enjoy the firm ride or the recaros or something, I can make a small profit, move on and get another vehicle from Japan. I'm the type of guy who is very particular about being dealt with kindly and professionally. Couldn't fault J-spec... Even when there's been little on offer in the auctions for a particular day, and I send them a query about 3 or 4 cars, they respond with ALL the relevant details - with a smile!

It's all about service... and the car!

Can't recommend J-Spec enough.

Both Craig and Ben were very helpful in the 6 months they searched high and low for a factory Black Series 2 Stagea with leather, high grade, factory body kit, log books etc to my specifications.

Why it took 6 months?- because these are very rare in black with leather, log books etc in Japan.

They did offer to refund all costs if they didn't find anything suitable within 8 weeks of searching but I was so impressed with their service, persistance and resilence that I knew one would come up sooner or later... and it did.

J-Spec rocks and I wouldn't hesitate in using them again- they know the import business inside/out!

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
