Yahoo Auctions Translated

Yahoo Auctions Link

What happened to that interface thing where you could choose what parts you want for what car and it directs you straight to yahoo auctions with results....?

unless im doing something wrong this only translates the opening page. the minute you type in r33 for example and hit search it goes back to japenese.

your not doing anything wrong it just aint that helpful ey....there used to be this tool/interface somewhere here with drop down box menu of all parts for all skylines etc......cant find it anymore but it was very helpful.

Thanks for the recommendations fellas. If anyone ever needs any help getting around our site or Yahoo Japan, please drop me a line via PM or even better, to support AT importmonster.com.au :D

Also worth mentioning that we can source from the usual array of Japanese shops and new parts suppliers. Just need a link to what you want and we can organise it ;)

Hi.

I have been using www.isicar.com for car auction and yahoo purchases for many years. You can look at cars coming up for auction each day and yahoo is in english. The only thing is you must have money in your account with them before bidding. Have a look they are lovely people to deal with. Have never had an issue with them.

One more thing to consider an Australian buying site cannot buy direct from the japanese seller as most sellers state will not ship overseas so there would be a middleman in Japan buying for the overseas operation- result two fees- Japan and overseas operation. With isibike you only deal with them.

sorry try inserting this one i thought it looked not right

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...ir=ja|en&u=

if you use search in yahoo japan though, dont translate the search results... browse through in japanese and when you find something you like open it in a new page and translate that... i just tried the link above and it worked for me three times... search initially in english once you find what you are looking for find the japanese translation of the word (it comes up if you hover the mouse over the word for a while), cut and paste that in your search field and it will broaden your search

hope this helps

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
