Selling My Stagea In Aussie

[pure_methamphetamachine]

I am going to sell my Stagea and get a GTR. I was wondering if there was any point advertising in Aussie with all the import laws etc (which I know nothing about).

My Stagea is 557kW at the wheels, with a mod list a mile long. Engine, drivetrain, suspension, interior, exterior, audio, EVERYTHING has been done.

Is there any pont in say ebay.com.au?

Cheers peoples.

Not with thise mods man - it would still have to go through compliance and that means all but taking it back to stock for registration purposes. The only way it could happen is if you sold it to an aussie over there, he owned it for 12 months and then brought it in as a personal import. I "think" it may bypass the compliance proceedure, but dont quote me on it.

Plus the arse has completely fallen out of the prices here. Just ask anyone trying to sell one thats already here.

Seeing as I am an Oz citizen, what if "I" brought it over, had it complied then "f me..!!" sold it...??

Personal import FTW, best stagea ever IMO.

If it came to australia i think i would sell my 1st born for it

[Tangents]

OMFG!!!!

I just read the build thread....

how much you going to sell that thing for?

[munchstagea]

If you are an OZ cit then you would be able to bring it in as a personal import, that actually means no compliance requirements (or very little) need to be met. If you looked into it seriously and it was doable then you could advertise it over here, based on that scenario for sure.

A few of the importers sell "personal imports" that their staff living in Japan (Australians) have owned for 12 months, the vehicle is then imported under the personal import scheme.

No offense intended, but I wouldn't be selling anything in the current financial climate. Its a buyers market, which basically means everyone's broke LOL

There's a guy at carlsales.com selling a 260RS for $37,500. That car has been advertised (from memory when I noticed it) for at least 6 months, probably longer, and it started off, from memory at $45,000 (don't quote me on that though)

Granted he may not have done half the stuff you have, but finding a buyer in this climate, who knows ...

Good luck, I hope you not only find someone, but you get a fair price for it too. Me? I'd be holding onto it. That is of coarse unless I win lotto, then I'd just by whatever I want and extend the garage

[msports180]

That one has been advertised for alot longer then that, longer then i have had mine advertised for!

The market is shit atm.

[Duncan]

the other option is race only use (other than personal import). but the regular import rules require a standard car, and in theory the modified parts have to be destroyed after being removed.

you can thank toyota for the current import rules - they didn't want to compete with their own landcruisers cheaper from jp

[260tech]

Buy a schmick bodied (no rust) GTR & transfer all your gear, or, wrap it in plastic & wait for the financial climate to turn around, else, "suck it and see".

Maybe ask "Guilt-toy" what side of the road they drive on in the USSR?

My 2c

Best of luck whatever path you eventually choose.

[leetom]

this car is the most heavily modified stagea probably in the world, just advertise it, some loaded car freak might just see it and would pay anything to have it, if i won the big one tonight i'd be buying it no matter what it took to get it here(ps i'd also be picking up a r34 gtr etc etc as well)

[WHITER33GTS-T]

What a weapon. How are the drive shaft coping with all that power...?

[pure_methamphetamachine]

Driveshaft is fine. It's just the factory one. They can take a serious beating. I know of a 580kW track car that gives it death, and it has never died (r32 so less weight though).

Maybe I will just advertise and see. Even if someone buys it just to strip and place everything in their own car..??
