Auction Sites

[vspecR]

hey guys,

Just starting the importing process (still searching). i have read in other threads where people found links on auction sites. but most of those links have now died and i cant read japanese, so i cant figure out how to go back to the main site lol.

i want to browse those sites just incase my broker/agent has missed out on anything that i could be potentially interested in.

anyways, currently looking at a GTR R34 vspec or vspecII(if im lucky), for 50k or under landed and on road.

any help would be appreciated.

cheers

You can use https://bzl.cis6200.jp/e/ with sign in id - V38095

Doesnt show you auction reports though like on the J-Spec site. Have trust in your broker , if he is any good then he surely wont miss a beat you just have to be patient. Also check http://exchange.goo-net.com/ for fixed price cars.

^^^no auction report sheets, BUT you DO generally get a much bigger warning of cars using the legit USS browser...

ie: you'll know about an auction that is on wednesday.. and see the car come up on the sunday before - whereas Jspec you see it on the tuesday arvo

...down side of the USS site is that if you find the car you want - you end up walking around for three days with a boner anxious over whether or not you are bidding enough

cheers for that TUFF_350

hmm there doesnt appear to be that many R34 GTR's in auction. i signed up mid last week for importing and ive had 2 cars sent to me so far.

i was expecting like shitloads lol. oh well, guess i will just have to waitt

[Mr Eps]

my personal opinion

i like to browse import monster for his ability to view yahoo japan

and i tend to use www.japaneseusedcars.com these days

because you get a fairly vast and varied view of auction houses, also the cars are listed in year built order so you're not jumping from 1989,2004,2002, 1994, etc etc

plus japaneseusedcars have put their dealer view back up again finally

the reason you've only been shown two cars will probably be because your broker only VISITs one auction house a day - they're not going to go to kansai to inspect a car for you if they're in tokyo on that day unless you tell them its super duper important that they send an auction runner on a train out there to view your car... (for example)

for instance:

^^^oops., sorry, im at work - work blocks the translator,

after posting that i bypassed the translator blocker and found out that it's a GTT made to look like GTR

...still kinda cool though, yeaH?

[vspecR]

lol i was wondering why that was so cheap. def considering it IF it was a real GTR

lol im pretty sure the ones i have seen, the inspector never went and saw it because i wasnt interested in neither

thanks for the links, im gonna burn some time at work lol
