Buying An Import With

[MP_R33]

Hey guys,

I am looking at a 180SX Type X 6U9000RPS1332468. The car has been here for a long time and while it does look really clean I am concerned about the authenticity of the kms. Apparently it was imported with 30,000 kms on the clock and now has only done 40,000 kms. Owner claims that it's a 4.5A but has no way of verifying it .

It has been registered so it's not a fresh import, just thinking as to how to go about authenticating the kms if the companies that offer the service don't go back far enough on some of the cars that have been here for a while.

Any thoughts besides going based on condition alone?

Thanks

Edit* I realised I forgot to complete the title before posting

Do you have a compliance date? Month/Year should be stamped on the compliance plate.

[dodgyimports]

Also - the chassis number in that VIN looks like it's incomplete - there should be six digits after RPS13-

[MP_R33]

My mistake. 6U9000RPS13324682

Compliance plate date is 12/96

[dodgyimports]

12/96 is the build date. The compliance date is May 2014 according to RAWS.

Did you contact Japanese History Check about getting the auction sheet?

Apparently it cant be done for this car, I dont know why though. Unless the car was bought in a long time ago and only recently complied.

The guy said he has owned it before 2014 so something is fishy.

[dodgyimports]

Is this 'apparently' according to the guy selling the unicorn that is a grade 4.5A S13 with only 40,000 kms?

[MP_R33]

Yes lol.

Well I found out that this was purchased as an order through Edward Lees. Not going to bother investing in a odo check knowing that. My search stops there.

The premises is about to get a name change as if 'leopards' spots' can come off.
