Here is an average 3.5 graded car that just sold for 2020000 yen.

Landed, complied and registered with stamp duty paid is just under A$37K.

18 months ago I sold a lovely gun metal grey car similar (but probably slightly better) to this car for $25K.

Same car today $40K+.

Times they are a changing!

This is the crap people on facebook are trying to spread regarding the prices of imports vs domestic cars

"Looking at recent jap auction results for R32 GTRs, you could pick one up for $25 to $30k landed and complied. This is for grade 3.5 with around 100 to 150kms.

Thought this might be useful for those wanting to get one cheaper than getting one locally and you know the kms are genuine.

Cheers"

This was my response:

" Not sure where you are seeing that, got some example links? All i'm seeing are 3.5-4's which are either or both wound back/no books and are still going for 17k USD which is around 2.1million yen. Obvs the ones which have both books and kms genuine are much higher. Which after compliance goes well over 30k landed and complied. Not even including rego etc"

is it still worth it/cheaper to import?

I think it just depends what's around at the time.

Sometimes you are a lot better buying locally, other times importing may be the better option.

The trick is to understand how the Japanese gradings work so when you look at a car locally you can say its a 3 or 3.5 or 4 etc.

Once you know that you simply compare it similar cars in colour, milage and condition.
