Buying a car in Japan

[topi]

Hey,

As with the AE86's, the MK1 MR2's are going up in price in this country.

Now the AW11 was never in any Japanese cartoon shows so the price is still low there.

What im after is a good condition supercharged version.

Ive spotted numerous ones on the yahoo auctions but its no good buying a car on there and finding out the seller cant speak English.

What is your advice? Are there guys out in Japan that will purchase the car for you, pick it up and take it to the docks?

Also, what do you think about this

[Rezz]

hehehehe, I like the "plucked out of the air" starting price...

[topi]

Do you know how long is left it is until the end of the auction?

[dairyboy]

a day left?

the start and finish dates are clearly listed on the right side

for those who obviously dont know what it says..... the price is random like that cause hes not selling it as a whole car but hes selling parts off of it so he doesnt want you to bid... he already sold the front right fender and the radiator maybe... so imagine the car several parts lighter n happy bidding!

Ooooh, cheers.

Right, ive had enough of this Yahoo browsing.

Can anyone direct me to a Japanese car auction that allows online bidding to private buyers? The ONE I have found is trade only.

I've bought a Cima Y31 off Japan Yahoo Auctions

as well as about $8,000 worth of stuff!

HKS GT2510's, Apex Power FC, HKS Oil cooler, Project Mu Brake Pads the list goes on, and I have NEVER had a problem my feedback is all SUNS no rainy clouds on my account mate

If you can speak half decent japanese and you can find a willing agent in Japan your spare parts supply is set for life!

You can buy at the auctions with any car yard since your here alright aren't you? if not there are a few online you can use...google it. Whether any of them are good is another case .
