They have been around a long time. They are also recognized by JUMVEA. The catch is getting it registered here and paying port fees which can range 500-2000 depending on your nearest port, as well as shipping fees after it's arrival stateside. I believe they also charge a flat 500 dollar fee for paperwork and translation.

Not to mention the cost of registering that vehicle and get it through emissions and safety. It's a long, difficult process.

So in short, their prices are legit, but the overall cost is "too good to be true."

Yeah, your stateside freight is gonna be BANK. Really, if you have to ask about it, you don't really have the money or resources to get it done.

Even the LA/Long Beah port fee is a standard 2 grand. Most ports outside the US do it by weight per measurement. Still, if I were to import a car, it would be through JP.

I've heard of Japan partner. I receive a newsletter from them every month. The cars are very cheap but like someone mentioned above it's the US registration that will kill you.

Then give me the money you're going to spend on a car you can't drive, and I'll spend it on something more useful for you
