Buying Import Lucida

[newnick66]

Hi, new to your site, but looking for some advice. I'm very interested in getting a Lucida, and have been checking e-bay / local press regularly. Are there any ways of buying directly from an auction at the ports themselves? Any info on this and possible pitfalls etc would be greatly appreciated.

One of the bigest problems with the Lucidas is avoiding the clocked ones, and as such I would avoid the auctions . When viewing check whether the dealer has the japanese paperwork, if not you should be able to clarify the mileage through Bimtra (they have records of the vehicles when sold at auction in Japan).

I should point out however that I am somewhat biased as I visit Japan and import Lucidas (have 7 available at the moment if it's any help)..
