    I noticed that there are too many imported Honda Jazz being sold lately, and they are relatively cheap. I want to know if there are some issues regarding these imports because I'm seriously considering buying one. Thanks in advance.

    Apparently, you're correct. I myself is seeing lots of jazzes whose plate is starting with letter " B " meaning, it's imported.

    But, if I were in your or in their places ... I wouldn't really be considering them despite it's cheapness. Why ? It's converted. It's conversion might be done incorrectly and could lead you to much bigger and more costly problems in the future.

    You're definitely better off with local units.

    Thanks for the warning sir renzo.

    Conversely, I heard that the conversions of these units are good since, accordingly, they use conversion kits. if this is true, then i would say that, in this regard, they are no different from local units.

    sabi ng cousin ko kung gusto mong makamura punta ka port irene sa cagayan (from manila nga malayo talaga). sabi nya mas madaming choices dito kasi dito din galing yung mga dinadala sa ibang lugar sa luzon. bumili sila ng van dati. noong namimili palang sila hindi pa ito converted, pagnafinalize na yung payment/downpayment duon palang icoconvert.

    hello,

    other than the "B" plate how does one know na imported to? i have read dun sa jazz thread na yung USDM iba yung bumper etc. Yung sa port irene pareho lang ng specs sa local jazz? Are they reliable enough? baka may nka bili na ng port irene jazz dyan.

    sa price comparison magkano yung 2nd hand local jazz nasa 250k-350k din ba? pag may 250k mura na, pang school service ng sister-in-law ko.

    Imported Jazzes will often have the standard automatic transmission. Not the CVT. So they won't have the "7-speed" paddle-shift option.

    The US never got the CVT... and Japanese imports are usually AT, also.

    It might be worth it if you're getting the US car, for peace of mind about the tranny... but most RHD conversions are not really worth the hassle unless you're getting a rare sportscar that has no LHD version... and even then, it's better to buy one RHD and have the conversion done yourself, so that you know it was done properly.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
