Yen Price

[Guest alexR33]

Hi, I have between now and 2 weeks to pay for a car from Japan. Just interested in whether it would be smart to wait for the yen to go to better exchange or if its at a good price at the moment...? thanks

Alex... Can't wait for my SPEC II GTsT

The exchange rate isn't too bad at the moment, have a look on www.xe.com and i doubt it's going to change dramatically in the next 2 weeks anyway.... best to pay now, that way youll get the car faster

68.48 for a telegraqphic xfer at the moment which isnt too bad... would have been good to do it about a week ago when it was at 73

So would it be too risky to wait a week for the price to go up? What usually effects the exchange rate AUD 2 JPY? It won't change when i get the car, I am waiting on my import approval to come from canberra. 2 weeks for it to be returned, gotta hate all te delays.

its a gamble... if u wait it might pay off... but then again it might not... at the moment its at a good rate... when i was getting mine it went down to 61 and then back up to 65 and generally stays around there.

you can't be sure if it will be UP or DOWN next week.

it's a good rate now, so IMO just do it now

If your REALLY keen you can do a quick research on the YEN and look back a few years to see what it does around the Xmas/new year periods.

The Jap market might close down for a few days, and then there's a chance it could go up.

It's been sloooooooowwwlly creeping up over the last few weeks, but nothing to get excited about that's for sure.
