What an absolute delight to deal with John and purchase a vehicle from him. After looking at loads of Elgrands on line over a number of months, we finally decided to bite the bullet. John had one that fitted all our criteria and, when we met him and viewed the car we knew it was the one for us. John makes sure his vehicles are immaculate. Ours is like brand new with only 40,000 on the clock. He talked us through what he had done to bring it up to tip top condition and helped us to understand how to find out what the Japanese buttons etc were saying. Yes, we paid a bit more than we may have done elsewhere but we are so pleased we did. On getting the car home, it was found to have a slow puncture and John paid for a new tyre immediately. If it is a Japanese import you are looking for, I highly recommend you contact Low Mileage Imports.

Big shout out to John, who was incredibly knowledgeable about all things Japanese imports, including what to look out for, the best insurance companies along with recommendations for companies to complete conversations and realistic prices for parts. He's fair, friendly, helpful with extremely reasonably priced vehicles. He goes out of his way to find you the vehicle you or your family actually need and all his vehicles are immaculate inside and out. He takes pride in what he does and it absolutely shows. Thanks so much John, we are loving our van!

It was easy to make an appointment for a test drive, and John responded quickly. On the day of the test drive, John had already prepared the car. He cleaned the car spotlessly and smelled good. He answered my questions kindly. My English is not good, but he was patient. Helped me solve the bank transfer problem. He was very familiar with the vehicle and professional. He left an unforgettable impression on me. I highly recommend john👍

I purchased a Nissan Cube from John. I looked him up carefully before I purchased the car and could tell right away the kind of man he truly is.
Some dealerships push you hard and everything is just a quick fix but the truth be known John did not push me. I’ve only had the car a week but so far so good.
I am not saying this for show you really and truly get what you pay for. I don’t trust anyone and never will but I do trust John when it comes to cars. All you have to do is pick up the phone and speak with him. In all the times I contacted him he answered my questions and was very honest. The Nissan Cube is really great fun.
I hope all you good people out there don’t think I am being forward with my words. Look this man up some day and see how simple this can be.

We wanted a vehicle that would allow us to travel around the UK or abroad and to be comfortable and spacious, the Nissan’s Elgrand seemed a strong contender.

We were impressed by lowmileageimports.co.uk website and it proved to be an excellent choice.
We met with John as the company had several vehicles that could possibly meet our requirements, it was clear we had made the right decision, all vehicles were in immaculate condition.

We chose the Nissan Elgrand E51 , it ticked the boxes and had very low mileage.

John was a real asset in helping us to make our choice, he new everything about the vehicle and clearly takes his work seriously, he offers an excellent customer service, John went above and beyond helping us with other queries that we had, at no point were we under any pressure to buy.
We would definitely use this company again should the need arise , we highly recommend it.

I bought the Cube a week ago, it's the first time for me to buy a car without seeing or test driving the actual car. The condition is excellent, extremely low mileage, it runs like a brand new car. Low mileage is more important than how old the car is, so if you are looking for a "new" car with the price of a second hand one, or if you are looking for specific model that you have missed when it first came out like i do, this is the place for you.
Also John is really professional, he can answer all my technical questions from relates to the car itself or buying process unlike other car dealers, he understands all the vehicles that he sells, and the service is brilliant, the whole buying process and experience is so easy and smooth, I don't need to do anything until I make the final payment.

I had been searching for a Toyota Alphard for quite some time before finding Low Mileage Imports website it cropped up in 'just one last search' Thank Goodness
Having previously found Alphards of every description and price though quite often on closer inspection finding they were just not matching up to the photos on offer! do sellers not know about the Zoom feature! it sure allows you a first impression 😏
As soon as I started looking at Johns excellent website I couldn't quite believe that every single vehicle definitely matched up to the no waffle informative piece on each car and once having found the video viewings I immediately found myself sending John a message via his site, very simple and easy to use. I wasn't expecting such a quick reply having experienced long delays with other sellers
I found John to be knowledgeable Organised and comfortable to deal with throughout my buying experience, no pushing you to choose or hard sell here! The Quality of the cars certainly speak for themselves
So, now I'm the proud owner of my very own Alphard and would tell anyone talk to John Churchill at Low mileage Imports he really does have some very good examples to choose from.
PS this was the first time ever it has crossed my mind to think maybe I should take my shoes off before getting into a vehicle it really was that immaculate inside.

Due to an extended family I have been looking at getting a 7 seater MPV for the past year. I wanted a Japanese import because they are better value for money and usually well maintained because of their rigid system in Japan. I looked at 100's online and nothing just quite ticked the box. I knew the the spec I wanted and colour but was finding it difficult to find. One day I typed in Toyota Estima 3.5 (did not want a 2.4) and that is when John @ low mileage imports site came up and there was the car exactly what I had been looking for.
After looking at the video and several images a few times I got excited! I actually messaged John in the evening to see if it was still for sale. He replied yes! He said you can call me now and that was 9pm in the evening. Has soon as I spoke to him I thought what a lovely bloke and he came across very honest and genuine. After he re-assured me about everything I put a deposit down there and then. I also checked out his reviews.
I caught the train from Nottingham to Yate and he met me off the train. He had the car all ready, Valeted to a very high standard like nothing I had seen before, taxed, Mot, a tank of fuel etc which we
had settled the day before I collected the car. The car was exactly as described and just lovely. I drove it home and it was a delight to drive back to Nottingham. He contacted me a few days later to see how I was getting on which I thought was a nice touch. He also sorts all the import papers out and registers it with the DVLA etc and fully Bimta checked etc with all the service history.
If you are thinking of buying a Japanese import with low miles and all above board then look no further as John is your man. I would definitely go back. I have been a mechanic and engineer for 44 years so I know my stuff and when to smell a dodgy salesman, John is none of these as he is very passionate about his cars and customer service and he loves Toyota's and Lexus etc.
PS. I can recommend the 3.5 V6 it is a beautiful engine and the power is Immense :)
I just want to say a big thank you John.

This great & very pleasant & patient business man is really out in a class of his own! 1st class regarding response to emails / phone calls, answering the slightest enquiries about a car (A Nissan cube, Pearl white, 6,000 miles only) that we bought from him. First of all we enquired about this stunning beautiful car some weeks ago, before it had even left Japan, putting a very small deposit to ensure our purchase. John updated us every step of the way, from it's arrival in the u.k to each & every conversion /adaption to u.k standards along the way. Eventually, we attended his very nice / immaculate property a couple of weeks ago, whereby we instantly completed the purchase before leaving Yate, Bristol . We would 100% recommend buying a vehicle from this very trustworthy guy. We trusted him from the very first contact that we made with him (which was by phone) he had all the time & patience to answer any relevant questions that we had regarding the immaculate car that we are now the proud owners of. I really can't speak highly enough of him... My son also spoke with him on a number of occasions, who also had the same high opinions as we did. Our brand new car was delivered to right outside our house (56 miles from John) for a very reasonable price too! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts John, we are so happy 😊.

Phenomenal car and service - Purchased a Lexus GS450h from John back in Nov 17. Having owned the car for over a year, the car still runs flawlessly. Impeccable service received from John, a very respectable and professional individual with ample knowledge regarding Lexus. The most thorough and satisfying test driving experience I have ever encountered, i was absolutely gobsmacked by how thoroughly I was allowed to test the car; when purchasing the car I.e Fiddling through the gadgets onboard, taking car on twisty country roads etc. Without the typical sighs or sarcastic comments from sales individuals. By far the best experience I have ever had of buying a second hand car. Only on the best basis of service I would happily purchase from Southwest Lexus again and again; let alone the immaculate cars up for sale.

When something or in this case a car seems to good to be true, it often is, not this time however.!!
I admit my doubts as i have always believed all car salesmen are rogues, in fact when reading reviews of Lexus southwest i suspected John penned them himself as how could all these glowing reviews be genuine after my dealings with him i am happy to add mine to all his delighted customers.
I purchased a 2006 Lexus sc430 ,i looked at pictures and read the cars description many times.
everything seemed fine but as i was buying unseen i was still hesitant to go forward with the purchase.

As many have said finding a decent second hand car salesman can be a minefield, well rest assured I believe there is one in John, I like others was buying from a distance so was buying unseen which can be a gamble I needn't have worried as the car a Lexus is250 was exactly as described and presented perfectly (looked a bit different by the time I drove it the 250 miles home) John had actually given me the piece of mind that if it wasn't as described then a full refund would be available without argument however everything was fine and the changeover took place without hassle with John taking time to explain and show me around the car, if I'm ever lucky enough to purchase another Lexus I wouldn't hesitate getting one from Southwest Lexus, so thanks once again John maybe see you again one day..

The car was immaculate when we arrived to view it, so clean and beautifully presented. John was really great when we went to test drive the vehicle, letting us drive it for a decent time and at varying speeds. There was an issue with the exhaust blowing and he drove us to a service garage to get a quote for the work; he said that her would reduce the price of the car to accommodate this, so that we could then get it repaired at home. He said if the cost was more when we took it to our own garage, he would honour that price too. The whole experience with John was refreshingly reassuring and pleasant, he didn't push me to make the decision to buy the car, there was no hard sell, he gave me time to sit and think about what I wanted to do. There have been a few issues with the car since I had it, 1) No hand book and 2) a crack in the radiator, but both times when I contacted John to explain he didn't quibble once, just paid for a new handbook and for the radiator to be replaced. He was respectful and made the whole process easy. He is not like any other car dealer I have met before, he is down to earth, approachable, respectful, and for once, it appears that he is a trader with a conscience, who genuinely seems to care about the customer too. It was really important to me to find a car for myself, and my budget wasn't huge, I needed to be able to find a reliable car and drive it with confidence, and so far to date, I have been able to do just that. I love my new car. Whenever I have any dealings with John he just says, 'leave it with me!' and he comes back with a solution or can source parts for you and has them sent to your home directly. He emailed me to ask if I had got home safely after buying the car, which was a lovely touch. I would have to say that so far, since buying this car, John has been a true gentleman, honest and reliable, keeping to his word and honouring what he said he would do without any quibble. That for me breaks the mould when it comes to care dealers, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him or his cars/business to anyone...he is a breed apart. It has been so lovely to actually buy a car and be able to enjoy it with peace of mind and in the knowledge that the dealer is genuine, honest and trustworthy, but above all, bothered about you as the client, and wants you to be completely happy and satisfied with your purchase and experience with him and his business. That I have to say, in my experience, is hugely rare. So, please, if you are searching for a second hand car, don't think twice about contacting John at South West Lexus, you will not regret it. Thank you so much John for my new car and for the help and continued excellent customer service you offer.

NISSAN ELGRANDE
We wanted a vehicle that would allow us to travel around the UK or abroad and to be comfortable and spacious, the Nissan’s Elgrand seemed a strong contender.

We were impressed by lowmileageimports.co.uk website and it proved to be an excellent choice.
We met with John as the company had several vehicles that could possibly meet our requirements, it was clear we had made the right decision, all vehicles were in immaculate condition.

We chose the Nissan Elgrand E51 , it ticked the boxes and had very low mileage.

John was a real asset in helping us to make our choice, he new everything about the vehicle and clearly takes his work seriously, he offers an excellent customer service, John went above and beyond helping us with other queries that we had, at no point were we under any pressure to buy.
We would definitely use this company again should the need arise , we highly recommend it.
It is nice to meet someone who takes pride and care in his work

I purchased a Nissan Cube from John. I looked him up carefully before I purchased the car and could tell right away the kind of man he truly is.
Some dealerships push you hard and everything is just a quick fix but the truth be known John did not push me. I’ve only had the car a week but so far so good.
I am not saying this for show you really and truly get what you pay for. I don’t trust anyone and never will but I do trust John when it comes to cars. All you have to do is pick up the phone and speak with him. In all the times I contacted him he answered my questions and was very honest. The Nissan Cube is really great fun.
I hope all you good people out there don’t think I am being forward with my words. Look this man up some day and see how simple this can be.

A few days ago I had the absolute pleasure of meeting John after finding one of his cars on ebay. A stunning example of a very low millage Toyota alphard that almost sounded to good to be true. After taking it for a test drive and absolutely no sales patter or pressure from John I decided straight away I wanted the car. The deal was done . When I went to collect the car 3 days later there were a few issues with paperwork from my side and John went well above and beyond to help me resolve things. Delighted to say an hour or so later I was driving off in my new alphard. It truly is a fantastic car and exactly as it was described if not even better.
John is a true and rare gentleman I would not hesitate to buy from him again.
Thank you.

I was very wary of buying a car from someone online but John made the whole process easy and seamless. The Elgrand I bought was as beautiful as he promised. He did me a great deal and went to extreme lengths to reassure me all through the process. I believe he is one of the most trustworthy dealers I’ve ever had anything to do with and I have no hesitation whatsoever about recommending him and his company.

I found John a pleasure to buy a car from. He couldn’t be more helpful and was very supportive in giving me advice and guidance in respect of using accessories etc. He also met my wife and I at the railway station on the day we picked up the car. I found him to be much more customer focused that just about all the “Prestige” dealerships I have purchased from in the past. The car itself, a low mileage Nissan Elgrand, was absolutely stunning and exactly as advertised by John. He rightly takes a great pride in the cars he sells. If anybody is looking for a low mileage imported car at a reasonable price, Low Mileage Imports is the place to go.

Having owned a Nissan Elgrand E51 for 6 years, I knew that condition was more important to me than gadgets. John supplies vehicles in amazing condition and I was lucky enough to find an immaculate very low mileage E52. I couldn't be happier with the car and the service John provides. I would definitely recommend John and wouldn't hesitate to buy again. Rich Duran Exmouth Devon

I bought a Toyota Alphard from John a few days ago. I had never heard of an Alphard before, I was looking for something a bit bigger than a Ford Galaxy. Well......... if you know the Alphard, you also know that is exactly what I got. It is an absolute stunner, and so easy to drive, although easy doesn't do it justice. If you like the Alphard, and you've got the money, talk to John. I've bought new cars and second hand cars in the past all from dealers, but nothing comes close to how simple it was to buy this car from John. I can't thank him enough, and even my teenage Grandsons like it, so there is another 'thank you John'.

This great & very pleasant & patient business man is really out in a class of his own! 1st class regarding response to emails / phone calls, answering the slightest enquiries about a car (A Nissan cube, Pearl white, 6,000 miles only) that we bought from him. First of all we enquired about this stunning beautiful car some weeks ago, before it had even left Japan, putting a very small deposit to ensure our purchase. John updated us every step of the way, from it's arrival in the u.k to each & every conversion /adaption to u.k standards along the way. Eventually, we attended his very nice / immaculate property a couple of weeks ago, whereby we instantly completed the purchase before leaving Yate, Bristol . We would 100% recommend buying a vehicle from this very trustworthy guy. We trusted him from the very first contact that we made with him (which was by phone) he had all the time & patience to answer any relevant questions that we had regarding the immaculate car that we are now the proud owners of. I really can't speak highly enough of him... My son also spoke with him on a number of occasions, who also had the same high opinions as we did. Our brand new car was delivered to right outside our house (56 miles from John) for a very reasonable price too! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts John, we are so happy 😊. We'll never forget you, and should we need to replace our car some time in the future, we would not hesitate to come back to you. We wish you all the very best . Julie & Alyson x (April 2022)

I would highly recommend John to any one looking at buying a Japanese import.

I contacted John …
And I was amazed at the service. John explain to me about this what can only be described as one of the nicest vehicles I've ever driven in my life. It is so useful.. I am a fully qualified engineer and have worked on many aircraft in my career, including spitfire World War II aircraft and the build quality of these cars is remarkable, I bought a Toyota Alphard V6. From the very moment I've picked it up I could not believe how this vehicle drove, the service I got from John was 2nd to none, it was a, smooth transaction throughout… I cannot recommend this company anymore than I am everywhere I go. People cannot believe my vehicle is 20 years old, even myself..

Kevin Booth Toyota Estima 3.5 G

Due to an extended family I have been looking at getting a 7 seater MPV for the past year. I wanted a Japanese import because they are better value for money and usually well maintained because of their rigid system in Japan. I looked at 100's online and nothing just quite ticked the box. I knew the the spec I wanted and colour but was finding it difficult to find. One day I typed in Toyota Estima 3.5 (did not want a 2.4) and that is when John @ low mileage imports site came up and there was the car exactly what I had been looking for.
After looking at the video and several images a few times I got excited! I actually messaged John in the evening to see if it was still for sale. He replied yes! He said you can call me now and that was 9pm in the evening. Has soon as I spoke to him I thought what a lovely bloke and he came across very honest and genuine. After he re-assured me about everything I put a deposit down there and then. I also checked out his reviews.
I caught the train from Nottingham to Yate and he met me off the train. He had the car all ready, Valeted to a very high standard like nothing I had seen before, taxed, Mot, a tank of fuel etc which we
had settled the day before I collected the car. The car was exactly as described and just lovely. I drove it home and it was a delight to drive back to Nottingham. He contacted me a few days later to see how I was getting on which I thought was a nice touch. He also sorts all the import papers out and registers it with the DVLA etc and fully Bimta checked etc with all the service history.
If you are thinking of buying a Japanese import with low miles and all above board then look no further as John is your man. I would definitely go back. I have been a mechanic and engineer for 44 years so I know my stuff and when to smell a dodgy salesman, John is none of these as he is very passionate about his cars and customer service and he loves Toyota's and Lexus etc.
PS. I can recommend the 3.5 V6 it is a beautiful engine and the power is Immense :)
I just want to say a big thank you John.
Regards
Kevin

I had been searching for a Toyota Alphard for quite some time before finding Low Mileage Imports website it cropped up in 'just one last search' Thank Goodness
Having previously found Alphards of every description and price though quite often on closer inspection finding they were just not matching up to the photos on offer! do sellers not know about the Zoom feature! it sure allows you a first impression 😏
As soon as I started looking at Johns excellent website I couldn't quite believe that every single vehicle definitely matched up to the no waffle informative piece on each car and once having found the video viewings I immediately found myself sending John a message via his site, very simple and easy to use. I wasn't expecting such a quick reply having experienced long delays with other sellers
I found John to be knowledgeable Organised and comfortable to deal with throughout my buying experience, no pushing you to choose or hard sell here! The Quality of the cars certainly speak for themselves
So, now I'm the proud owner of my very own Alphard and would tell anyone
talk to John Churchill at Low mileage Imports he really does have some very good examples to choose from.
PS this was the first time ever it has crossed my mind to think maybe I should take my shoes off before getting into a vehicle it really was that immaculate inside.

What absolutely great service .
Car buying as it used to be and should be, a pure pleasure from start to finish.
I bought this car sight unseen and am not disappointed in the slightest.
Nothing too much trouble, many calls with probably so minor questions but answered in professional way, I felt reassured at every step.
A customer for life now and would have no hesitation to recommend John Churchill as your place to go for an import guy.
Thank you John , stunning car and first rate service.

I bought the Cube a week ago, it's the first time for me to buy a car without seeing or test driving the actual car. The condition is excellent, extremely low mileage, it runs like a brand new car. Low mileage is more important than how old the car is, so if you are looking for a "new" car with the price of a second hand one, or if you are looking for specific model that you have missed when it first came out like i do, this is the place for you.
Also John is really professional, he can answer all my technical questions from relates to the car itself or buying process unlike other car dealers, he understands all the vehicles that he sells, and the service is brilliant, the whole buying process and experience is so easy and smooth, I don't need to do anything until I make the final payment.
I'll definitely visit again when i need another import car in the future. Highly recommend.

Honest and transparent throughout. Great communication. Have already given John's details to a mate who was loving the Elgrand when he saw mine!

Our car was immaculate throughout (overshoes needed) and even came with the original service book, manuals and so on which are fascinating to look at via Google Translate.
We had a couple of minor after sales technical queries dealt with by John swiftly and efficiently. All in all - Excellent all round! Even approved by Mr Kahn for ULEZ zone

What an absolute delight to deal with John and purchase a vehicle from him. After looking at loads of Elgrands on line over a number of months, we finally decided to bite the bullet. John had one that fitted all our criteria and, when we met him and viewed the car we knew it was the one for us. John makes sure his vehicles are immaculate. Ours is like brand new with only 40,000 on the clock. He talked us through what he had done to bring it up to tip top condition and helped us to understand how to find out what the Japanese buttons etc were saying. Yes, we paid a bit more than we may have done elsewhere but we are so pleased we did. On getting the car home, it was found to have a slow puncture and John paid for a new tyre immediately. If it is a Japanese import you are looking for, I highly recommend you contact Low Mileage Imports.
