Newb Questions

Hi all

I'm looking at purchasing a stagea over the next few months, but as this is my first foray into imported cars, just wondering if anyone can answer some questions for me.

1) How reliable are the km readings on the cars? I've seen a few cars listed online at dealers with 40,000 or 60,000ks on the clock for 98 or 2000 model cars. Is this realistic?

2) Are there any major issues with the stageas that I need to be aware of or things to look out for?

3) Are there any dealers (particularly in Melbourne or Sydney) who are really good or who should be avoided? I've seen Nagoya Motors have quite a few stageas listed, are they any good?

4) Are there any dramas getting them registered in Aus, particularly Tassie?

Thanks heaps for your help!

1) Not very. Ask the seller for the original auction sheet, that usally makes them squirm if it's a wind back.

2) Nothing major

3) Plenty of discussions on this forum if you use the search function.

4) Nope

No Problemo!

yep (1) ask for export paper or auction sheet "ステージア" is exactly right - if they dont want to give it to you its been tampered with; also unlike Aus Japan requires KM's to be noted at re-registration intervals

(2) not that im aware especially with the C34's - heaps of spare parts (Same engine as R34 skyline..)

(4) unless you by rego'd & on road you'll need a) compliance & plate b) RWC c) Vicroads inspection

(3) I bought my NM35 from Nagoya Motors, they were fine, but Northshore Prestige seem to be head and shoulders above everyone regarding quality and knowledge. Time again, I would've paid a little extra & bought through them.

Cheers, Dale.

O yeah. Northshore pretige are awsome. They got plenty m35's and very helpful. My afm died so I went back to them to see if they could confirm it. They replaced it and then answered my 1000 questions.
