Has anyone actually bought a 89 model skyline for 15 year rule

[Wild33]

ok thanks Shell, that sir looks pretty cool, i will check it out a bit further then.

We are actualy based in Melbourne but we buy cars for clients all over Australia, we would normally have the car complied in Sydney for you but we can arrange it down here if you prefer us to watch over the process for you ... the only thing you would have to take care of yourself would be the registration, although we can point you in the right general direction if necessary.

The prices of most 1989 models are fairly good at the moment but we do expect prices to rise a fair bit on most popular models before the end of the year - remember that we will be bidding against other countries with 15 year import laws also (like Canada)

The car that Shell posted above was for sale at Yahoo auctions for some time and was eventually sold for only 220,000 yen - that works out to be around AU$7,700 landed (plus compliance and rego), so maybe just under $10,000 on-road.

I should have also added that this was fairly cheap for the SIR model, you would normally be looking at around $8,000 to $10,000 landed (plus compliance and rego)

We have five more 1989 model SIR's and two nice SI's available for purchase right now if you are interested - prices range from $6,200 to more than $10,000 landed (plus compliance and rego)

For anyone else reading this post, compliance for most popular 15 year old cars will be around $800 to $1,500 depending on the actual car you buy, registration requirements in your state and how much of the work you want to do yourself.

That's because the only cars that Prestige sends through to the public list and cars listed on Yahoo Japan... They are just teasers

LaL: I am using Geoff and have nothing but praise for him.

I'll put my 2c in,

I just imported an R32 GTR through Geoff, no bad hickups had the car in 6 mobnths as I had to wait for import in 2004, had the car early feb... was exteamly happy with the car.

****Edited by PranK - sorry, but no slagging of business'****

I have had dealings Geoff and have only good words about him, put your money with prestige...

have you recieved the GT-R ? Prestige tend do edit the auction sheets allot.. dairyboy is by far a great importer.. but doesnt give refunds if you have put a deposit then changed your mind

[Stirlo_GTR]

I have my car and it is a great example.. there are a few on these boards that will varify its condition.. and to add to it, it was the cheepest on the site @ $14,700-

We were so impressed that my dad just bought and recieved a 92' V8 Soarer and it is also a beautiful example of a car..

[Stirlo_GTR]

Umm no offence but a deposit is just that .. its to cover him and his cost's for time etc looking for a car for you.. and hey it is a deposit you dont normally get deposits back.. How ever his rule is that you get 90% of it back.. so you loose about $100.. it seems fair enough to me..

Sounds to me like another person who has zero first hand experience making claims of untrustworthiness.

Stirlo_GTR,

Id be very careful of the claims you are making.

If you would prefer to buy cars from your daiyboy friend then by all means, go for it. But do not come on this forum talking garbage about Prestige when its clear you dont know what you are talking about. You dont appear to have any first hand experience with buying vehicles from Geoff, and therefore no basis for criticism

[Stirlo_GTR]

Geoff did good by me..

[Blitz]

Stirlo_GTR: ditto, my car is due in a few weeks and so far Geoffs service has been great, every question I asked him was promptly answered.
