Help me buy a car in Japan, pleeeeease :D

[topi]

As you might know, im always on the look out for cheap AE86s to import, and ive found one.

The car is based in 'Kanagawa prefecture Atsugi city'

I need someone to confirm that its in working order-ish, and maybe check it out, de-register it, and take it to the docks.

Why not just get a cheap 200sx from the UK?

Loads of cheap and availible parts.

The 86 will be baught for re-sale.

lol importing an AE86 Levin into the UK? didn't you guys get AE86 Corolla "Coupes" that are basically the same as a Trueno?

I bought an local AE86 Corolla "Sprinter" (called a Levin in japan) for AUD $650

Yeah we had the Corolla GT, levin flavour. They are stupidly rare, and stupidly priced, and alot are in bad condition.

This one dosen't seem all too good either (fact that its on a truck is worrying lol)

the place where I work at does FOB for the cars the clients buy. THink standard charge is 90,000 Yen for that though, so I dunno if you wanna pay that much. However they do this sort of stuff day in day out so it'd be a walk in the park for em.

in bad condition? what, worse than the one you want to buy??

[funkymonkey]

Just spoke to the guys at work, apparently they've already looked into this car and they said it was a heap of shit as it had a lot of rust on the inside of the panels (they've painted over it but its bubbled up in places).

Its also had a major accident on the front, and it dosen't have any documents (so can't be de-registered). If it can't be de-registered thent he car can't leave Japan. So we gave up on that.

Ah right. The structure of the thing was my only worry really, the mechanicles dont bother me.

Thanks anyway.
