Buying 15 year skylines from Yahoo Japan, be care full links included.

[Guest]

Older and New Skylines do come off Yahoo Japan but you have to be very careful, look at this link and the one below is the start of Skylines in Japan translated.

Unless the car has a report from an inspection be very suss, it can cost more than the auctions and hidden faults..

Sorry - I don't quite get it? I see the translated version, but don't see too much out of the ordinary?

And the 2nd link is just to the category page?

The first one is a special one that can come in this year,

The rest is just for people to look at all the Skylines that people cut and paste to sell and what cars like old GTR's and so on are listed at.

oh i thought there was some big hidden secret. But yeah, most of Risbey's cars are copy/paste from Yahoo auctions anybody can look at.

What I've always found more interesting to look at is the NON-H1 (1990+) cars.. there are plenty of very nice and clean for around 1 Million yen, some would be pretty damn close to stock to be able to bring in under SEVS (or with only a few minor items having to be replaced) .. With 1,000,00 yen = ~$12500 AUD, plus your RAWS compliance cost (is it around $5000 for GTR?) plus few $k for shipping, duties, etc, they work out to be very low 20's. Hardly any different to a "quickly offloaded" 1989 car @ $17k landed, except you get something maybe 3 years newer, and less chance of being dodgy.. People rushing into a 15 year car just for the sake of it, and the close of the rule to get a relatively stock GTR *anyhow* are being a bit silly - consider what else is out there as well! Just because its not 1989 don't mean you can't bring it in! A 15 year rule doesn't really make a jack of difference to you if all you want is a 32GTR!

A trained monkey can work out who cuts and pastes, it is about not rushing in to think it is a cheaper way to get a 32.

Predator that is exactly the point people need to realise, when you put age into it so higher chance of having major repairs and later models are cheaper, bringing in the car under RAWS isnt that bad a option.

The major factor is your buyier in Japan getting a clean car to pass,

R32 ADR evidence is out their it is just waiting for the first workshop to use it, with the pending rule change workshops see a reason now to do R32's.

By the time these cars get here a few workshop will be compling 32's I know of 90/94 model GTR's being picked up now ready for RAWS due to current pricing against 89 models.
