Q1. The cars look great but buying via the Internet is a bit risky. How do I know Algy's Autos exists and is not just a well run spoof or con?

A1. Feel free to contact either our Garage in Bristol (Established over 20 years) 01179 382542 or our shipping agents, BSL. They are a well established Shipping Agency with their HQ in Essex.

Q2 I see there are quite often 2 prices advertised for the same car. Why is that?

A2. The 1st or more expensive is the 'forecourt' price i.e. The total cost of the car supplied to you from our Bristol Garage fully serviced, cosmetically correct, Mot'd, Taxed, registered and with our warranty. The 2nd or cheaper price is the cost if purchased via the Import Scheme

 

Q3. What does the Import Scheme include in the price?

A3. The Import Scheme price includes: Cost of car in Japan, all Documentation and proceedures in Japan, Transportation to Japan Docks, Freight to UK, UK Vat, Duties and Port fees, Collection from UK Port, Conversions, SVA, Mot (Subject to pass), Registration, Road tax, Numberplates. In short everything that is needed to legally put your car on the road registered to you in the UK.

 

Q4. What additional charges are there on the advised price via the Import Scheme?

A4. None on the advised price except the commission to us (£350) and any possible work for mot pass if it fails. The actual price is often lower than that of the extimated one.

 

Q5 If I use the Import Scheme, what kind of savings am I likely to make?

A5. It clearly depends on the individual car but suffice to say we are talking hundreds or thousands depending on the value of the car. A typical £6000 car OTR UK will be a saving of £1500. Obviously well worth the effort.



Q6 I can see the quality of the cars appears First Class. Are the photographs the actual vehicles for sale and just how good are they?

A6. The photographs are the actual vehicle for sale; we do not use 'Library' Photos. The cars are all exceptional condition. Don't just take our word for it, feel free to contact any of the past customers that have entered coments in the guest-book on the Home Page.



Q7 What if the car fails its Mot and is not on the Import Scheme?

A7 That's rare but if it does we pay for the work required to ensure it passes on re-test. If the car is purchased via the Import Scheme then any Mot work is undertaken for you but payable by you the customer.



Q8. Is there any warranty supplied with the car?

A8. Yes, all our cars come with a 6 month warranty which is extendable up to 3 years at extra cost. Cars purchased via Algys Autos Import Scheme are elligable for a Supreme Gilt Warranty of upto 3 years purchased via us .



Q9. How do I customs clear the car and pay all duties?

A9. You don't we do all that for you, it's included in the service.



Q10. What extra is there for me to pay after the advertised forecourt price?

A10. Nothing, nothing at all. The price includes everything from the car through Import taxes, shipping, number-plates, mot, Service, EVERYTHING.



Q11.How do I pay for the car purchased at the forecourt price?

A11. A £1000 deposit secures the car. This is payable by either Bankers Draft or Personal cheque posted to our UK Registration Office in Devon or by Major Credit card via our website. The balance is payable upon collection and inspection of the car from our Bristol Garage. This is by either cash, Bankers Draft or pre-arranged cleared funds to our UK Bankers in London.

A13. Yes FULLY. No questions.


Q14. How long does it take from ordering to delivery on either forecourt car or Import Scheme?

A14. That depends where the vehicle is in the process of shipment from Japan to UK. It can be just days if it is almost into the UK or several weeks if the car is still awaiting shipment from Japan. If we are purchasing for you via the Import Scheme it will typically be 10-12 weeks from purchase.
