Will I Actuall Save Money?

[dcanna]

My question is will i actually get an r34 gt-t cheaper if i import it my self? Ie would i be able to get a decent stock r34 for like 15k? I am going to japan at the end of the year does being there in person help this proces? Wheres the best place to start looking? Do i start looking at a place like tradecarview.com, then get in contact with a importer? Im not hunting for an amazing car just wanna save money is there any point considering the low AUD buying power? Help is appreciated cheers

its probably not worth the hassle as there are so many here already for sale under $20k with a few mods.

The best bit being you can actually drive and inspect them. I always thought i would import but by the time i go the coin together i realised there were heaps of cars available in Aus with no 3month wait.

pretigemotorsport.com.au

J-spec.com.au

ironchefimports.coms

Are good sites to get an idea

my personal thing is cars worth under $20K on the road are not worth importing. and no you being in japan wont make things any easier or better. unless you have access to dealer auctions and can speak and read japanese and know how the auctions work... if you want to import just pick your exporter, broker/whatever and get them working on it. but seriously a stock R34 GTT is not worth that much these days, you are better off hassling sellers for a deal here.
