Re: why can't we import?

domestic cars in japan are so dirt cheap with low mileage it would put ford and dodge out of business. rizubi.com/aucent go to R1 member USR:rizubi1, pw:37440 - under 1000$ USD for skylines, gtrs .... its nuts, like 3 grand to ship, a bond needs be paid 150% of the purchase price, 2.5% tax and thats pretty much it then the legalizing shit. If you want in on taking out this Motorex Bull_Sht Monopoly ill help. Im all in! contact me@ [email protected] or im me on that.

I stand some what corrected.

The Agent fees are $1k alone, then another $1k for shipping. The prices on the car will go up, since its an auction, as well. Plus if you buy a GTR for around $2k, its going to be a piece of shit.

Cool site though.

Re: why can't we import?

Most of them are definately not P.O.S cars because they must be rated out of 5, and they have under 100000km which is like 62000 miles. The only thing is that some are accident cars, but most aren't, and the auction prices dont really go up.

Re: why can't we import?

you can ship them back over i'm in the military and i couple of friends who sent them over here for aome people. if you want a car i can get it for you just have to let me know what kind of car and if you want it tricked out. the average skyline goes for about 7 grand and it's tricked out with everything to.

Re: why can't we import?

are you F'ing serious?
this thread was hella dead, over 3 months, before it was revived after 2 years.

keep in mind that even if the military ships it over, as this has been gone over SO MANY DAMN TIMES BEFORE, you still have to legalize it.

so all you save is the shipping.

Fly, if you're in the military, not only do you have to legalize it, you have to have a contract and $5K deposit with proof of receipt to a RI before the military will even ship it. Without those two documents, it stays where it is.

Re: why can't we import?

lol 1 grand for a gtr?
i must say thats a bunch of CHOWDER... a grade 1 goes for at least 2000.......but thats like damaged, how much would this cost to repair?
$$$$
a grade 3 (average) goes for like 7-15 grand.....
then motorex or rb will probably charge around.....
another 7-25 grand for legalizing fee = $$$$ belive me.....if there was a loop hole i'd be the first to try it out..haha.....
