Buying a car in Japan for a holiday.

[em177]

Looking for some advice.

After going to Japan last year, and previously importing a car. It'd be a dream to go to Japan, buy a car, use for the holiday and then leave to ship home afterwords.

Has anyone got any experience of this? Main issues would be how to register, insure, etc for short term use?

I assume you're talking about a new car as used/older cars in Japan or amazingly expensive which is why most seem to be exported to Europe

Also what are you looking to buy ... this could be another thorn ... I guess it's something JDM or special to warrant??

Used. Something interesting to use for a road trip over there and being back to the uk.

I've done the import bit before, but would love to have a week or 2 use out of it in Japan before sending over here.
