Hi sigsputnik
well...
a) no, I've never been badged, keyed, broken into, or anything...i sometimes park overnight in kingston on the street too.
B) compared to Sydney prices, insurance is very good here. Try a broker that specialises in imports, they usually get u a much better price than ringing around yourself.
c) the Nissan dealers won't touch you, i rang Lennock and that's what they told me. i have been getting basic servicing done at Reliance (the Rotary guys) in Fyshwick...but the place s13drifter mentioned sound very good.
d) I went thru an import broker for my car, and I would definately do it again. There are a lot of arguements for and against, so i guess it's kind of up to the individual. What year model were you thinking of getting?
cheers
