Well just out of sheer boredom from reading a few posts, someone said something about a JDM CRX being worth such and such money, and someone else posted about yahoo.co.jp auctions - so I did some reading, converting, and more reading and found out some funny stuff..
Firstly, I'm in Australia >_< a 180sx here is 10-20 grand, a silvia is 7-15, 1989-1993 for both, so I wanted to see what the prices in Japan were like ..
180sx's range from 100,000 Yen to 1,000,000 (1-11 CAD)
Silvia's range from 3000 Yen to 250,000 (Silvia S13 K) (35-yea..dollars..35 dollars.. to 3000 $ - CAD)
Now, some tuned, some not - all with around 120-000 KM or less (many less..) only a few are slightly damaged, if at all.
So there we go, half price at least.. Now for the fun part. . . After checking out quite a few Japan to Australia shipment companies, I came across a place that stood out for being sort've expensive.. Costs 1 grand CAD to go find the car, do a test drive, de-register it, go through customs, write a review, take 30 pics, get a mechanic to look at it and make sure it's ok, and then stick it on a boat. Then it costs 500 CAD to ship the car here, given the size and weight ( a bit more given that its calculated by Metre Squared. an MX-5 is 500, an Imprezza is 650..)
So all together, find the car at a good price, I could get a JDM 180sx for 3k >_< :love:
Now for sexiness !
