need your guys opinion on wether i should try buying a skyline through this guy!

[R32GTSt]

Ok so i noticed him first off from a car he's auctioning off on ebay. I saw he implied that he could get a hold of nearly any japanese car and have it shipped over and converted into U.S. spec.

Heres his auction:

I proceeded to take the email address from the page and email him inquiring price quotes for several cars. ( see listing below )

He emailed back with the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the prices you requested. Prices include shipping and
legalization.

93' Toyota Mr2 Turbo T-Bar-$7500US

92' Nissan Skyline gts -$8000US

98' or 99 Nissan Silvia -$14,000US

90' Nissan 180SX-$7000US

90' Rx-7 single turbo-$5500US

Let me know.

I'm thinking damn... and he included the price of shipping and conversion into those prices. That is a steal after reading all the post on here about how MotorEx is the only company that does it and it cost $30,000+

I emailed him back thus morning and enquired about why its so cheap and how i would go about paying for it since im not getting it off an ebay auction. I asked a few other questions that hopefully will be answered. When i get them i will post them.

Let me know what you guys think, if its a scam or not. I mean it seems pretty credible but i would like to know more information.

Thanks

i cant believe thats legit, because if u bought those cars domestically (in japan), they would be that price. maybe he's sneaking them over thru an underground tunnel

There are very few, if any, eBay cars that end up being legit.

The sellers can't even come up with a beleiveable price. Only $8k for a shipped and legalized R32 GTS? Yeah right.

Motorex wants at least $18k for one of theirs, and no one else has gotten the certification for the legalizing process anyway.

your are right bro, half of the skylines on ebay that say to be legalized are nothing but , and the prices they put up, make me want to

18k for an R32 GTS


Holy fuck thats steep, here in NZ you could easily pick one up for under 5k

[R32GTSt]

damn i wish i was there, i have 6g's in the bank as a down payment on what ever i get. Looks to be leaning more towards a 93ish mr2 turbo.

Motorex includes legalization in their pricing. With the typical legalization charge of $15k for an R32, it would be like getting the car for only $3k.

The owners of ebay should block the advertising of any and all Skylines forsale, at least to countries where they are not readily available. Too many suckers out there.

im sorry but im going to have to raise the BS flag on this one damn it!

actually I've seen acouple 180sx for a 3G's and $900 for shipping at this one site and MR2's for have the price you say

[R32GTSt]

what site?

they prolly dont include the conversion.

[nicky81]

site?

they prolly dont include the conversion.[

conversion for what?

[fallenprnce]

I would be wary man... ive been through all that B.S. before with legalizing etc etc... and id ask serious questions, getting a car over from JP is no peice of cake... i can tell you that much, shipping (if you want it in one peice ) is 6k+ (for a container)... i dont think this is too legit

[nicky81]

well one site says 20ft container is $1450 and another says $900, it all dipends on the shipping company. I really believe if its a car we sell here then it should not be a problem, as long as the engine and safety equipment are the same.

[nicky81]

oh and does anybody know how one would get a vin number for a Jap car?
