That was my thoughts too, while a nice R34 Coupe is my dream Nissan I don't think I could quite afford one like what I'm after. From what I've seen looking around various Import sites 180sx with low Ks are bargain prices whereas on Aus just about everyone who owns a 180 has raped it so hard it would probably fall apart after a few thousand ks. I thank everyone for the advice that they've given but there's still one point I'm wondering (unless I'm blind and I missed it). Is using Iron Chef or someone else to find an auction car in import it likely to save me money compared to looking for one locally? I know it would vary from car to car but on average what sort of price difference would I be looking at when buying locally vs imported.

Hi. I'm 19 and from WA and I'm looking at buying my first car. I'm still currently on my Ls due to being lazy but I've been searching around Carsales for a Turbo Skyline/180sx but a lot of the cars I find are usually high ks or not really what I'm looking for. My mate told me I should look at importing a car from Japan, he suggested to talk to Edward Lee's because he heard about them from Mighty Car Mods but upon searching around it seems that they have nothing but bad rep so I think I'll stay away from there, however the idea of importing a car still stands. I've got a budget of around $15,000 however I could look at getting a 5-10k loan ontop of that if I really wanted to. I'm mainly interested in a R33/R34 GTS-T or a 180SX with under 70,000ks. On a side note what would I be looking at in terms of insurance for an import, what insurer should I be looking at and what would I be looking to pay? I'm wondering if it's actually worth doing. I have no idea how much effort or how long it will take or even if I will be able to save money doing it. This is my first experience buying a car, let alone an import so any tips/advice you can give me is welcome.
