never a truer word spoken.Bart-EK wrote:batfa is too expensive... learn japanese and search for a smaller exporter.. these guys buy cars themselves, so you might be paying normal shipping fees, but at the same you're overpaying for the cars (EF8 CRX's can be had as low as $500... good ones... bad ones sometimes sell cheaper than friggin die-cast models of the same car)
anyways... nice to check the site now and again... some nice stuff there...
i bought mine for 2200.. it cost 3000 to store for 7 months, ship on the boat, customs, duty, taxes, air conditioning levy, inspections blah blah.
ive been in close contact with my importer from my first crx, and we've seen many 500-1000 dollar ef8s with same or slightly higher mileage than mine. ( 86000 kms. )
cars that are 10 years old are only worth about 9% of original value, so imagine what a 15 year old car is worth. I have heard stories of guys leaving running ae86's on the side of the road.. just cause there is no used car market in japan, and its easier and cheaper to just ditch it.
