No need to PM, they are great...estimates were close to spot on, both financially and ETA wise

Craig will sort you out

[thrtytwo]

Most of the bad threads to do with Prestige and J-spec have all been deleted. Mainly because J-spec sponsors SAU (not sure if Prestige does). That said J-spec are reasonably good though. See your in Perth.. PM sent

I love misinformation I have never deleted threads on SAU because of sponsorship/financial status.

Anything posted on SAU is the responsibility of the owner (Prank) who has created the SAU Guidelines and made it clear that he doesn't tolerate negative comments directed towards businesses.

Well with the importing process/purchasing of your new car, both with j-spec and prestige...they make it very clear that they are only in the business of aiding you in chosing the right car for yourself. Auction Grading, mechanical inspections and high resolution pictures are at your disposal to help you make this choice. What i am saying is, at the end of the day, YOU are the one that choses the car. Therefore if anything goes wrong mechanically or anything else thereafter it really isnt anyones fault but your own.

thanks.

Why not buy a car thats already here? You get a chance to inspect it yourself, take it for a test run, and get a workshop to inspect it too.....

Because someone has to import it at some point in time, provided you do the homework like Sambo said, it's generally going to be okay. I still think it's competitive cost-wise to import over buying an already-imported car.

You took the words right out of my mouth

Generally if you import yourself, and i did say generally, you can save anywhere between $1,000-$5,000 compared to if you bought privately here in Australia (Typically R33's). Just got to be patient and find the right one for the right price

Hi I just to ask Has anyone buy a car form J _spec import?Are they hard to deal with and are they can trust in price when they bring in in Australia are they charge more than price that in advertising Thanks a lot

Got a Legacy GT Wagon from them a few years ago.

Very cheap and extreeeemly fast turn around, whole proccess took no more than 8 weeks.

J-spec dont really ask prices for anything mate. they offer a service to find and help you import cars from japan. they simply ask their fee ($1000 AUD from memory) to find the car (either at dealers or auctions) and buy it on your behalf and help you import and comply it. so what the car costs is up to you.

jspec is that the really expensive place that wants $15k+ for a 180?

cbf searching for it

searching for it??

it appears as one of the sponsorship baners at the top of every screen...

[funkymonkey]

and in my sig

I think we did have a couple of 180sx's for 15k landed n complied... mind you they were 1996 models which hadn't been drifted/thrashed to an inch of their life and hence ineligible to be imported under SEVS (the only way you can import a 180sx these days).

[Kozeyekan]

I'd easily recommend J-spec. Although I'd recommend that if you want to buy, have all your finace organised first. I'm sure they get the 'I'll call back once I've got the loan" all the time.

Yeah the sales guys do get that from time to time, but we've given quotes and in some instances spoken to the bank etc where they need something solid to approve the loan. Some banks are hesitant to give loans to purchase cars that aren't in the country for some reason

Why is it that a car that hasnt been drifted/thrashed ineligible to be imported under SEVS? Am I reading this wrong? I thought 180's are eligible under SEVS

No I meant that most non accident damaged 180sx (ie eligible for SEVS) haven't been drifted or thrashed. Depending on the compliancer and engineer involved, even something like a repaired rear fender could fail compliance.

lol i should have put a comma in there to break it up.
