Looking For 240K Coupe

[Blobber]

Hi,

greetings from almost around the globe. After my 260z project I want to have datsun c110 and I noticed that in australia you had 240k as similar car as in japan. Which kind of price range these cars are in australia and are they hard to find? I'm not looking for mint condition car, but it should be in driving condition and metal should be still metal

Can you tell me if that's price average or high "asking pricef" for 240k?

[hcg210]

this is average price, but if in bad condition... it will be less... but again very hard to find parts.. and costs to restore too..

Prices have really climbed in the last 5 years as so many 240k's have gone to scrap metal or sent to the middle east. The eBay seller is looking for $12,000, and will probably get it!

In my opinion, don't waste your time. Buy from Japan, save yourself the trouble and get a JDM car.

Adzmax, could then give some tips where should I start looking for c110 skyline in japan? I know rocky auto, but I'll guess that there are more companies, which sell old skylines.

I'm always browsing Yahoo Japan and I see nice C110 Coupé's come up from time to time. The reason I say look in Japan is because quite often the prices I see them goign for are pretty reasonable. Considering you'd have to ship a car from Australia to Finland it would be more economical to ship from Japan to Finland. The money you'd save could be used to buy a nicer car too!

Here in Australia we have companies that will look at auction houses and can also source cars from places like Yahoo Japan. They have people on the ground in Japan to organise inspections and shipping etc. Do you have companies like this in Finland?

Search Yahoo Japan with the word ケンメリ which is Kenmeri in Japanese. This will show lots of parts and cars. I use a site called Import Monster but they do not ship to Finland but you can still browse in English.

[Blobber]

Well, we have companies in Finland which are importing cars from japanese auctions, but I think there isn't any companies which work with yahoo japan. Maybe I should start looking for car myself from car auctions.

It would be worth at least having a look so you know what your options are.

Here is an example of a car available for import via an Australian importer -
