Importing A Skyline

[rr33]

hi at the moment im just enquiring but may decide to import a skyline r33 GTS (soon to be on new p laws). Anyway I would be looking for a very good condition nissan skyline r33 GTS with around 100,000's on it to import. I will be going through an importer to save me all the headaces. Now how much do would you estimate it will cost me landed, complied ready to register? I'm abit weary though would the imports check over the car properly? engine ext last thing I want is to have imported a skyline with major problems.

Im in Melbounre so who would be the best importer to go through?

thanks, Simon

mate they are far cheaper to purchase in aus, considering they start from 7k, im sure brokerage(1k) compliance(500-2k??) duties?? shipping (500 plus) taxes plus the car purchase would easily exceed 5k

Im sure you couldnt save more than 2k... and is it really worth 2k all the chance sometehing could get damaged on the boat?? the car could be a lemon?? something can go wrong.. you cant see the car physically etc

just my 2 cents mate as i recently buoght a r33 N/a after realising what good for value they are atm

for starters dont even bother now with the way the economy is.... the car will cost you an arm and a leg. its a gts theres tons of good nick ones out there for you to grab. i personally wouldnt bother. my 2c. good luck mate.

Also note that there are plenty of "buying a skyline, what to look out for".. type of thread if you do a search.

Those should help you picking out a good car instead of a lemon.

dont import unless the car is in original condition
