Sarnie Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Update: Been inundated with importers emailing me about the car The cheapest OTR price i've been given is about £23k and the highest was £30k Replied straight back telling them all where to go. The car is an 04 with 20km on the clock and I ain't paying that kind of money just for the kit and wheels which can be added for about £2500 nowadays. If it comes to it, i quite fancy a chilli roadster like this one: http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... x_mileage= and then make it look like this one for a few grand: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Looks like the Yen is going to push up import prices then.... Looks a good choice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 The annoying thing is that there is no fixed price for the car. The price is £17.5k to £21k. Apparently this is because there is still a vibrant market for JDM's in Japan untill the car is 6 yrs old or so. I'd rather by a cheap car in the uk based on those figures.......

rickya Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Before Dec 07 you could have got it at a bargain price imported, not now with weaker pound. I had same problem 2 months ago & wasnt financialy sensible to import so I went with a landed JDM instead, worked out cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Just wondering.. what Nismo wheels are they? Don't think I've seen them before Standard Nismos but with a bigger rear lip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 You all know i will be going down the import route, but at this rate with the Yen doing what it is doing, it looks as if i will be getting one already in the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KS2006 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 The yellow roadster reminds me how close I came to a yellow S2000. Hmmm wonder how much a full respray in yellow would be.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
