Hi Terry, I'm not made of money lol! I originally wanted an 05 or 06 wrx sti which I did have and were both a nightmare. Both needed rebuilds almost as soon as I got them after taking them to different mechanics. I want a JDM S15 (99' or 00') or an R34 GTT (Can't afford a GTR ) - Budget is about $18k or a bit more for the right one There is very little of both to pick from locally and the ones I do like and have contacted just seem suss to me. I am thinking of importing but this would cost more than if I find one already here

Hi Guys, I have purchased a few cars privately over the years and all have had had problems very early on. I'm not a mechanic but I have a good idea of what to check prior to purchasing and I triple check everything yet I have been burned 3 times now... I can't believe I am even thinking about buying another performance car but I haven't had a car I am happy with at all. I want to give it 1 more shot to put a god damn smile on my face. Is there anyone honest in Sydney that can help me out with buying a car that has good knowledge of what to look for and how to avoid these f**king lemons? A case of beer or few will be your reward. Please PM me! I am located in Ryde I am just in this state of mind now where I think everyone is dodgy and whatever car I end up buying will need a rebuild pronto. P.S - It's not my driving if that's what you are thinking. All of them have been bodged up before they sell them and I draw the short straw every time even with "pre-inspections". I think they are a load of shit, they look like they are checking everything but how can this happen?! Also I think it's worth mentioning I am not taking these cars to backyard mechanics, these are some of the most well known shops I have taken my cars to.

Have you got the source for this ? I am about to sign up to start the process for importing but would wait a few weeks if this is solid news. If true it would be awesome!!
