Why import used cars from Japan?

Importing from Japan can save you money, and generally you will get a higher spec vehicle than would be available in Ireland. This is particularly true for sports cars as Japanese models generally have better quality parts fitted giving higher performance. You can also get models that aren't available on the Irish market.
