Why Imported Cars

There are many worries that people have when it comes to buying imported cars. Here at Oakley Specialist Cars, we want to make buying cars easy and stress-free. Below you can read about the many reasons why buying an imported car is the best thing you could do!

Rust-Free and in Better Condition than the Identical UK Model:

Most of our stock is imported from Japan, and Japanese roads are notoriously clean and well-kept. This means that cars in the country are rust-free and in a condition that is far superior when compared to cars of the same age in the UK. It also helps that Japanese owners are extremely car proud meaning that they want to maintain the condition of the car so that there isn’t any chance of a breakdown.

ULEZ Compliant:

Japan Implemented a stricter emission policy before the UK did which means that older cars are subjected to these policies long before their UK equivalents. Between 2005 – 2007, New Long Term Standards were slowly implemented which were then followed by Post New Long Term Standards which were rolled out between 2009-2010. What this means is that most Japanese imported petrol cars are compliant with London’s ULEZ and Low Emission Zones which are in operation in many major UK cities. Here at Oakley Specialist Cars, we make sure that most of our stock is compliant with these zones so that you won’t have to worry about any additional charges.

Please check with the correct websites in case of any worries.

Low Mileage:

Here at Oakley Specialist Cars, we aim to get cars with low mileage. Many people look at an older car with low mileage and focus solely on the age, but it is the mileage you should focus on. In Japan, cars are used less frequently and only cover short trips. This means that the cars we import are in great condition despite their age.
