DShox Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 i think we all look for good deals but when buying big bhp cars and where the seller commands a premium for the car - word of mouth and reputation is everything. you get what you pay for.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 in the know its what its all about, they guy the other day who bought white tt had major probs and i did say it was fishy if the trader was selling for 8.5k fully road legal as the big showroom garages must have £2000 profit margins that means it will stand him 6500 for a full road registered tt 6 speed hence he must of only paid about rough cost £800 to sort bits an bobs out mot registration tyres etc etc £1800 duty vat so he has bought that car for £3900 in japan and that includes fees over there too so probably paid £3k ish. were for instance private imports for say 9k we are paying upto nearly 6k double the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 you get what you pay for. true very true but there is also importers like me and japscene and others who charge the what i called fair prices on cars that imo are better condition, as i am sure you all know my reputation speaks for it self i know 3 members on here that have had 3 tt 6 speeds for under 9k grade 4 mint within last few years.

DShox Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 oh the 98 - yup i had it on in the 12s but that was when i couldnt insure it and the tyres and alloys were shot, foggy hanging off back, and some other nasties that would put buyers off. since then ive been to town on the car and seriously improved it and got insurance!!! had new dunlops on front, refurbed and powder coated all the alloys, put razo parts in the interior, ripped out all the crap and subtley positioned the neons, integrated the fog, removed all the rattles, bought uk road friendly shocks and am now fitting em, plan to paint and decal the calipers, and have now given new tax - this baby is soo nice now!

DShox Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 aye i got all depressed and felt sorry for myself watching it sit there without a driver so cried it into the 12s. i removed it from sale because i was being unrealistic about how long it takes to sell a car and was almost giving it away in my determination to sell before xmas. very glad i kept it now!!! time to drink beer people!!! my warm up coffee is gettin cold! happy new year!

Jap Scene UK Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Also, and this is only my opinion from what I have seen, lots of the singled cars that have come from Japan arent built that well. It surprised me, but its hard to deny from what I've seen. Totally agree... iv learnt my lesson the hard way Had my t88 in a while... not because theres no interest ..but simply becuase i wasnthappy at all witht he setup... i have ended up fitting...new uprated pumps... new v pro... complete new fuel setup..injecotr..reg ..rail..brakes..have also fit new seats...hasnt been cheap but at least i now know the car is safe.. --- haha jurgen yer so are mine...my t88 has got to be 18k looking at their prices! and dont get me started on that yellow tdo6 rx ... i think thier wording leaves a little bit to be desired!!

TLicense Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 If you really think about it Jurgen, you're actually doing all the "owners" a massive dis-service by selling cars so cheap. You're driving the resale prices through the floor. If you started having a few luxuries for yourself, you'd need to bump the prices up for a better profit margin. That way all our cars would be worth more. Go on, take that holiday you've always promised yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 No idea what I'm talking about, but: Could it be that these new ESVA and import rules have caused importers to by utter sheds, and thus having to sell them cheap, Joe bloke sees shed for 7k and thinks "I'm not buying that other car in the trader for 10k!" so private sellers then drop their prices to sell, causing a vicious circle?

DShox Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 aye to that. the dirt coming over by all the 'specialists' now looks great to joe bloggs - it makes this market all the more difficult unless the buyer is informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Looks very nice apart from the undersized tyres. They seem to love the bare rims look in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
