About To Hunt Down A Stagea

[AndyD]

Hi all im about to import myself a stagea im on a tight budget and looking around has given me an indication that vehicles with close to or over 100,00km's are much cheaper than those with under 100,000km. I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this obviously the 100,000km service would be due but is there anything else that would need to be done on top of this service to warrant the price difference ie turbo rebuilds and stuff like that or any other parts that are prone to failure at these km's.

I want to buy the vehicle and still have a little bit of change left to do some mods or would i be better off buying a bog stock low km and saving up to do mods later on?

Assuming you'd be looking at a Manual, Turbo, 1998 model with about 82,000 kms (see http://tradecarview.com/stock/detail.aspx?sid=1014730 for example) it'd be about 900,000 FOB, which using our online quote calculator comes to $17,100 fully complied (includes our $1,100 fee already, just needs rego).

Obviously costs will vary depending on the factors involved (year, kms, manual/auto).

contact us for more info.

cheers,

Also, the 100k thing isn't related to anything other than the perception. The Stagea market is more influenced by the export market than domestic Japanese market pressures.

And if you're looking for an Automatic, the prices would be a lot cheaper.

Please specify what type of Stagea you require and your budget, we can advise on whats available.

worth having a look at whats available here, if you just want to keep it std sure import, but generally most guys spend heaps on mods once they get them, so theres a good chance you can find a sound sensibly modded stag here in oz for under say $18 grand...... when you look at a $12 grand import and then start mods it adds up real quick,

just my 2 bobs worth.

....and always add $1,000-2,000 to the price they tell you.

Most brokers are honest, but like real estate agents, they usually quote prices that are a bit too good to be true.

I've imported my last 3 cars & I recommend it to people, but go in with your eyes open & don't expect to pay the figure they tell you, because that rarely, if ever, happens.

It WILL cost you significantly more to get your car on the road.

Good luck.
