mint condition inside, paint can be sh|t, ideally in the southern sth island, and ideally as cheap and chips, but yeah, she wants it, I just have to find one for her.

colour:any
price:as cheap as possible, but under $16k

I would agree with that, when I was looking at importing a bz-r.....they were all going for about 14-16 grand.

I thought that was a bit strange because everyone told me importing would be cheaper

yeah I have looked at importing, and for what it saved in $$$, it made up for in hassles.

You got that right Davo..
We were actually looking for a new Glanza V me my next Car (something cheap to run as be a poor student agian next year

) and for a real top grade one with round 70,000kms was still looking at $7,500 - $8,500 landed then the hassle of getting it on the Road on top of that..
So I've told him to find me one that has been modded with all the gear to make it worth while.. He check's the action's and send's me the Detail's/Pic's when he find's some

There's one at Chevron Motor Court, although it could be the Lexus version.

I belive its because the uk are getting into the whole importing thang now.

Im sorry but whatever jap sites ur using are a ripoff

My friend just landed a 97 sti wrx with platform adjustables and a six speed for $6000 on the road

Only 2 bummers
The stereo was missing and its a subie :twisted:

by **CozmoNz** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 8:44 pm

Odd... Nzcelicas car was $1500 lol, with 40,000km's 4wd etc.

Either or >.> importing is cheaper than paying the $25k asking price on some yards

Website · by **cozmoid** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 12:03 am

Thats probably just the price of the car.
Add 2 to 4 grand for freight, importing costs and certification etc if it turns up in alright nick. Bummer if its a dud though cause no warranties :roll:

So you mean to say, the total he paid for this car, including getting it imported, price of the car, and reg etc.....was $6g ??? Am i missing something here ???

by **EVL GSXR** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 11:16 am

Im with Ajz on this one you sure cause that pretty cheap.
And some how I don't think the Auction Site's he use's are rip off's or he wouldn't use them as that's his job Importing Car's for Car Sale's!
back in the day you could import thing's hell modded for cheap but now they have caught on to that fact hence the price's not being as cheap as they were!

Ok ok im no bullshit! This is a hard site to become a part of and its sorta exclusive if u have mates in Japan which we do and yes he paid $6000 rego wof on the road in NZ with all this shit. Couldnt keep the adjustables though cause they wouldnt VINZ it with em. Suppose its all who u know. Oh and this was landed November last year!

Thats true....Bought for $1500 in Japan
By the time it was here/complied/WOF/12mths reg it came to just $4500

Similar story, my mate with a black gen 4 MR2 paid $2500 for it in japan (had 80k on it and was very tidy)....ending up costing around $5300 all reg and wof etc.

It's basically just who you know in the industry that can get them cheap for you.
