wayno Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 ^^thats a damn good price for the weight and bulk. This is what it looked like the day I picked it up. It had a lot of thin metal and shrink wrap around it. Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 :rofl: Looks like I wrapped it up for christmas when I was 5 Came with a table! Quote Link to comment
Juan Valdez Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Lmao... That packaging looks terrible. What Dat Lurka said... Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Actually that packaging looks like it was good when it left. You think welding a full metal frame with mounts for the engine and tranny is standard? lol Someone took some time to crate that up. I have seen some JUST stretch wrapped to a pallet. Even seen one JUST shrink wrapped with a chain bolted to it for lifting, left to roll around like a weeble. Dude you should offer a service where you go and check out cars for people they are interested in having exported make some cash check out some cars doesn't sound like a bad gig to me... They have some awesome stuff on that site. but i would have a hard time paying for a car like that w/o seeing it in person.. or at least having someone who can check it out and give you a honest unbiased opinion.. Thats called a broker and there are a ton in Japan. Everyone wants that easy middle man money. What fool would try and buy a car on the other side of the world without one? lol Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I live here in japan. Goo-net is cool, they have an android app too but its all in nihongo kanji stuffs. they have english on their site, but in order to check out some of them your japanese must be pretty good. most places dont have an english speaker there. also, in general i would say that the classics are mostly good 10ft cars, up close you will find some horrorshow rust repairs. one shop that is on there that flex auto review, i went to it in yokohama a little subway ride from my apartment. the old skylines looked good, but upon further inspection were terrible basket cases covered up with packed in bondo. we are talking the bottom of the door and body below the door stuffed with filler and bondo, the trunk was made of fiberglass because the original had rusted away. it looked like a spare tire would fall through the floorboard of the trunk. not all shops are like this, but i believe that many believe that the look is more important than the function and how safe or solid the cars are. IMHO If thats the case, I wonder why they dismantled my 1200 sedan? It was a great driver and all it needed was a paint job and fix the exhaust leak at the mainfold. Take a look on here at "What's Ratdat's car doing in Japan".................I have a friend that lives in Yamanashi that wanted to get a Hummer---no room on the streets! Yokohama is nice!

Duncan Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 . You can bid on cars, of course, but import, EPA, customs would most like be a pain in the ass. No, it's not too tough. I imported a car from Australia, and getting it home and in my driveway was reasonably easy. Being naive, I didn't use a broker and did all the paperwork myself. It is not as hard as people think. Cal DMV was a LOT tougher than any federal agency I dealt with.. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 The wording in my previous post was maybe too strong without details. If the person speaks and reads the language or has some connections inside the country they plan to import the car from then its not THAT bad. Especially if dealing with a very reputable seller. That said though there are so many horror stories about people ordering their cars and getting shit delivered to them. Then what can they do besides cry about it? lol Even high profile builds have discovered all kinds of shit along the way. Janky work or hidden problems etc... sometimes the company selling may not even know but a broker is paid among other things, to find out. Quote Link to comment
