To Import Or Buy Local?

[Stormie]

Hey Guys,

I'm after a v36 sedan, I'm in Perth and they're virtually non existent over here. So I'm left with the choice to either import direct from Japan through an agent or travel to Sydney and buy through a car yard. I had a M35 Stagea which I bought in Sydney and was really happy with the results. Great car well priced and not too much hassle with transport and rego etc. From what I can work out I can prob save a couple of k importing direct but obviously can't check the car out before I buy. There seems to be plenty available in Sydney. Also any feedback on the car from anyone who has one would also be appreciated.

Cheers.

Colin and I had a few photos of our cars taken side by side a few weeks ago and I can tell you that his is immaculate.

The sedans go for significantly less than the coupes so depending on your budget, you should be able to get a great example by importing.

If you look at one that's only a few years old with low kms then you are practically guaranteed that it will be in great condition. Which ever broker you go through will have their guy in Japan look over the car and tell you about any issues that it has as well as giving their opinion of whether it is a good example. These guys look over the same kind of cars day in day out so obviously know a good one when they see it.
