QUOTE (Midnight Star @ Yesterday at 10:24 PM) | Yo all. I'm 16 still and can't get my own car yet since i don't have a licince. But i have it all worked out I'm gunna get either one of these cars:
*Ca18det Silvia/180sx *JZA70 Supra *280ZX Fairlady Z *300ZX Fairlady Z
I plan on buying in New Zealand since i've discovered it's cheaper to buy cars there and import them then just buying the cars here in Aust. I can find all of those cars for under $5k. If i'm lucky i might find a 240ZX too. They're rare but when you do find an unmodded one they're pretty cheap. |
Damn son, you sure know how to dream. That is exactly what I thought when I wanted to get my first car. "I'll just buy a supra from Canada, it's ONLY 10k and it is cheap to import it back, right?" But sure enough my dreams turned out to be just that, dreams. First 10k might not seem like alot, but when I actually had to find a job and work to try and get that money, it was way harder then I expected. At my old job they paid $7.50/ph and I thought at that rate I could have the money for the car in 3 YEARS!! And to make matters worse it turned out to be more like five becouse they were takeing money out and putting it in Social Security. Second, cheap in shipping terms is not that cheap. Example, when was looking at EVOIII's on the mitsu website it said to ship the car anywhere in the U.S., from the dealer in California it would cost $3500! That was even more time I would need to spend saveing money! Even when I found a good dealer in Canada that is selling supras it still costs $2500-$3k to ship out of country, and then to add injury to insult THEY DONT SHIP TO THE U.S.!!! But that was just my experence and you very well might not have any problems at all and live with you car happily ever after. If you got rich parents go for it!! But if it's you, start saving now becouse you got a long way to go to reach that dream. Good Luck! p.s.- Good luck trying to find a 280zx, seriously good luck I love that car...

I currently own a 1998 Nissan S14, I am in the process of selling it once the snow is gone, tho. After I sell it I have a few routes I could go, I am having a hard time deciding. I also own a 1995 Mirage, I could buy an Evo III parts car and do the entire Evo III conversion to the Mirage. Me and a few friends would be swapping over the entire awd drivetrain, engine, most of the exterior body panels, brakes, and possibly the rhd dash as well. The other option I have is I could get myself an R32 Skyline GTS-Turbo. I'd need to get a grand more, but other than that I'd be fine for it.
I also found out there's a guy selling a dark blue 1974 Z right in the area. Needs a little work, but the rest of it is perfectly fine and it's $900 obo. The Snow is melting now, and I'd love to work on that out in my garage once the weather is nice.
Sunzabuto, I don't know if you realize the kid lives in Australia. Both importation laws are a LOT more leniant and New Zealand is a hop ski and a jump away, so shipping will be extremely cheap. Practically any car in New Zealand is going to be completely legal in Australia, too. He isn't subject to the massive inflated prices that we Americans are forced to pay for cars that are only worth about $2000.
