    Default Few questions regarding purchasing

    Just got a few questions regarding purchasing of vehicles. Story is that within the coming months I will be looking for a new car and for quite a while now I have had my heart set on a Toyota Sprinter Trueno Coupe. I've been keeping my eye on the sales section but have noticed that my ideal car hasn't come up. Basically I was hoping for peoples opinions on the comparison of finding the car in Australia to importing from Japan. I need imformation on the differences between price and quality,etc. I want the Sprinter to be completely stock standard and in as good as condition as possible. The fear that I have with the importing is that it will be filled with rust or going to cost me an arm and leg to get it complianced here in Aus. Help, please?

    contact pro k, dont think he is on this site but he will be on HR, he is the go to guy for importing ae86, just let him know your budget and he will find the best car possible, although if you want something mint dont expect change from 15k
    Rust is a way of life

    Paul or Pramodh will sort you out. I have personally dealt with both guys and they are both great. I purchased my Trueno hatch of Pramodh, but Paul organised the engineering for it.

    If you want something thats crazy off its tits, id contact Paul, but that being said he has also brought in some high quality grade 4s in the past.

    It really just depends how much you want to spend, and if you are comfortable organising all of the engineering and compliance work yourself. If not, contact someone like JMS (seeing as you are in Adelaide) and they will be able to help you with everything. However, just note that if you go through a big name company, they will charge a much higher commission that what a private importer will
