Q2 I see the prices seem very low comapred to other retailers, why is that?

A2. We are the UK Importer and Supplier, we are not a forecourt. By coming to us you are cutting out all the others services that enter into the equation after importation. we supply the vehicles UK Registered at cost price plus a Commission fee. No additional fees or Vat. Learn more and see how it can be done. Algys Autos were the founder of the Import Scheme over 17 years ago. many have tried to copy and even call it the Import Scheme thinking it was a Govt made scheme! We founded it and continue to be the only true importer and seller of cars via the Import Scheme

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, IVA, Mot (Subject to pass), Registration, Road tax, Numberplates.
