Japanese import 80 series?

[gilghana1]

After a few trips in my car and self drive tours in various Southern African countries and South America, and recently Morocco in their Rav4 my parents have decided (almost, I think!) to buy an 80 series and drive down for a visit - ideal chance to get Haggis and 78 series parts delivered! Anyway, it looks like he is thinking of getting a Jap import 80 series, a friend of his in Scotland got what sounds like a very clean one for three and a half grand. They say they want to do it while retired but still fit. Good on 'em. It seems that you can get a lot of car for your money and apart from all the chrome bits, it seems that low mileages and prices can be achieved with not too many drawbacks. Anyone got any advice or tips on going down this route? I think he intends using a broker or dealer or whatever rather than going it alone.
A bit of time on google netted this:

Who on earth puts a huge front air dam on a LC???
Anyway, I do hope he doesn't pop up on HUBB and realise how much time I waste here
