Importing a non-running car

[Stirling]

Has anyone imported a non-runner? Any special issues to be aware of? Are shipping costs higher?

[SilverStar]

I think the only issue would be shipping. It would have to go in a container, RO/RO only allows running vehicles.

Loading fee's for the container are higher..

it would have to go container for sure..

Can I ask why you want to bring in a non runner?

Unless it is a gold mine of rare and expensive parts I can't see it being worth the trouble. Cars are so cheap in Japan, might as well get one that runs if you are going to pay thousands getting it here.

It's an Alpina B10 Biturbo.

If you contact me direct I will be able to help you with shipping by placing it in one of the containers I have heading for Canada.

But, this will depend where the vehicle is currently in Japan, non running vehicles cost a small fortune for inland transport because the vehicle cannot go on the multi car transporters therefore has to be transported via a single car transporter. If it is local to me (Nagoya) then I can use my own transporter, anything further a field, it would then have to be a transport company.
