Im wondering if anyone has actually gone from start to finish ordering a vehicle from j-specimports.ca
I visit the site often just to browse and theres always at least a handful of vehicles i consider for purchase but I know the price doesn’t accurately reflect the ACTUAL FINAL COST of getting one of these vehicles here, registered, safetied, insured and driving on the road… legally.
I’m hoping that someone whos PERSONALLY (not heard from a guy who heard from a guy whos cousin bought a car there) gone start to finish and hopefully include a nice detailed break down with costs associated with each transaction. I figure this could be an educational thread for all if the right person posts a nice detailed post.
well the cost of the car somtimes dosent include import fees dont know the name of it but you haveto pay a few fees ontop of the cost of the car best thing would be is call them up and ask. around how much its going to be its simple
They do say total cost landed, include commission, export, shipping. Only thing left would be to pay tax on it and for a safety. I think the hardest point would be insurance.
Not really any different then buying private from someone. The savings more then make up the cost of a safety, of course as long as to don’t buy a complete bucket.
Don’t their ads/prices say “$X,XXX Landed” though…as in to imply shipping would be included?
I’m sure there’d be a bunch of other fees and taxes and stuff, but as far as i’m concerned, the listed price should include the shipping. Otherwise, i’d say the ad is misleading.
has anyone else noticed a general drop in prices of imported cars lately? or am i just going insane? everything on j-spec seems cheaper than similar cars a couple months ago.
I was ready to buy an FD a few months ago and e-mailed them about shipping to the GTA and I got no response…for me, all it takes is one strike so I’ll look elsewhere next time I’m interested in importing.
i’m with varun, deal with gabe. He’s a great guy and is willing to go the extra mile for you. In my opinion, the best importer to deal with in ontario.
example right here…Gabe offer’s financing, and many other incentive’s. Like i said he’ll go out of his way to help you out.
I was downtown Toronto, I had just bought my car from him (2 years ago) some of my paperwork was incomplete. He drove downtown came to into the restaurant, dropped off the paperwork and left. Choosing to be late for something important. This is the type of guy you want to buy a car from and deal with.
