Info gets even more interesting...

After the issues highlighted above, ICM Japan finally responds via email & says that they'll reimburse USD $400.00 on next purchase...
WTMC wrong with em? I had to repaint a Tiida in Pearl White & refurbish and repair entire front Sub Frame & suspension in the new model Xtrail...

Next purchase they say, ha...!!! So that narrows it down guys, SBT - all the way, ICM Japan - NO WAY!!!
Public & World at large, be very wary.

That's normal thing with Chinese and Japanese suppliers. Send you substandard merchandise and promise to make it up to you in next order. I have to believe they do it on purpose considering we have no legal recourse against Japanese or Chinese dealers

my co worker imports from this site, he has done so for alot of persons, but the thing with them is that the interior of the car is usually dirty and the mileage is high. but you get the cars abit cheaper than SBT. ive seen him bring about 20 cars or so for the past year for persons.

anyone ever imported a hybrid as yet?

Are we exempt from taxes here?

I have had very good and very bad experiences with SBT .... Always remember these Japanese companies have only one goal and that is to sell a car . They will tell you what you want to hear ...tell you its in top condition and so forth ..Once it is exported there is no repercussions to them if you do not get a car you expected . I have seen companies falsify inspection sheets , turn back mileage , send the wrong car and even never send the car and keep the money .
if you want accountability buy from a registered foreign used dealer whom are obligated to provide 3 months warranty or 3000 miles whichever comes first ...
If you want to save some cash and take a little headache and all the risk import it yourself ...
always remember

Whatever you do, don't use afriditrading to purchase roro. Twice they took money from people I know and sent them the wrong vehicles both of which were worth less than what was originally ordered.

Bought my car from sbt, received exactly what I saw on the site.
Cleared it off the port last month.

SBT is fine I used tradecarview though, both sites are very good, once you get past the indian men who keep calling you at the worst possible times.

A month and 3 weeks for the car to reach trinidad to be cleared.
A week to license the car.

Sbt has a local rep in trinidad so all them.fellaz who importing for people and rolling back mileage has to pack up visit sbt website you would see for yourself

Ordered a JY12 Wingroad from SBT, it had the roll-up cargo cover as per the pictures on the website.
Car arrived last month, with cargo cover missing.
Contacted the SBT CSR who was assigned to my order, he said he couldn't do anything about it and advised that I should buy a replacement cargo cover from the Bamboo :lol:

As someone mentioned before, the CSR's always call and email you. But SBT is good, you get what you see on the website (except in my case with the missing cargo cover

).
The mileage on their vehicles is genuine; 79,000km for the 2010 Wingroad I got.

The CSR did say they charge like $200us or so to rollback the mileage, but only if the buyer requests it. He also said most Trinidad dealers ask them to rollback the mileage on vehicles.

When I cleared from my car from the port, I noticed my hub caps were missing but upon reaching home I saw them in the back seat of the car.

I'm not sure how it reached there because the hub caps were on all four tyres on the website.

So I'm guessing, SBT shipped your car with the covers but during the shipping process, someone took it off.

they remove the caps to strap the car on the vessel

You are very right!!!!
NEVER BUY FROM AFRIDITRADING.

Your assumption is wrong. If i wanted 'cheap thing' i would have bought from beforward or sbtjapan. I heard about Afridi Trading from a guy i met in licensing office who was giving me a list of companies he knows about for importing used vehicles. I emailed about 4 of the companies asking if they a car in stock matching my requirements. (Make, Model, Colour, Mileage, etc etc)
I received an email from Afridi Trading showing pictures of a car matching most of my requirements. They gave me a C&F price which we agreed upon and they sent me a per forma invoice.
I sent a 50% down payment which they acknowledged receiving and i then waited almost a week for them to contact me after that.
One week after sending the down payment, i received an email from them saying there were no cars in the auctions matching my description, and would i be interested in another car.
That was a 'WTF" moment for me.....
It went downhill from there......
