| WTF, I saw this on Trade Car view for a few grand! So someones bought it and trying to flick it off for 10x more??? Yes it's an active with low milage... but its still a 20 year old car thats probably seen little or no repairs over that time, you would have to question whether or not the strut and pump seals are still in serviceable condition factoring in all the time its been stationary. However I could see some paying $35k for a fully rebuilt UZZ32 ground up though (with oem or better parts) |

| JPY25,000 is about AUD250, is it not? A long way short of the AUD35,000 the scammer is asking... of course there are many costs on top of the auction price before it'd be on the road here. |

| Correct Mike there was a bid of $400 at some time, recon $2000 would buy it +$1000 FOB ,+ shipping $4000 ,+ compliance $2500 + gov charges $600. $8000 |

| $8000 on the road plus $2000 is $10000. Through this guy it would be plus $35,000. So $43,000, there is so many cars you could get for that. No one imports Soarers anymore anyway they are so cheap locally. Even if he put it for $5k it still wouldn't work out cost effective. |

Shipping $4000? We shipped several cars to NZ, from memory the most expensive was NZD990, although shipping to Norfolk Island was another $2400-3000 (we did several and the rate was per cubic metre), so our current Soarer was on the road for about $7000-7500 (there was $1000 Import Duty as well). We spent quite a bit more to get it the way it is now though, it was a 3.5 car when it left Japan. |

| Yes, I remember some of those fees, even from Norfolk Is. We had another, called "lighterage" because the cars were loaded/unloaded by sling and crane, scarey stuff |

| Thought you guys would find this interesting. "Hi , To answer your question NO it does not include shipping or compliance , HOWEVER depending on how you pay me will depend whether i might consider going halves in the shipping cost . PAYPAL and paymate charge around 3 % if you pay directly into my bank account there wont be any fee, i will then contribute towards the shipping all the best cheers Darren" |

| Check this out bit of a laugh. "hi thankyou for your genuine enquirey on this car ,to answer your question as best as i can ,i am from New Zealand and reside here ,i bought the UZZ32 soarer while i was in Japan, as i buy and sell cars for a living and i bought this car as it was just in absolutly pristine condition and i new that it was a rare collectors item, and that they ever so rarely come up for sale and when they do, they ussally have high klms on them, i have been dealing and importing cars out of japan for over 17 years now and i have not, in all that time ever seen a UZZ32 SOARER come up for sale with such geniunely low klms and in pristine condition as this car is in .i have put the car into storage in Japan in Tokyo ,so as to eliminate double handling in freight, as i know this vehicle will proberbaly end up in Australia or the uk to a Toyota car enthurist who will see the value in its rareity and appreciate the condition that this vehicle is in, as i did.To answer your second question im very sorry but $17,000 A.U.Dollars will not buy this vehicle from me, as i am all to aware of the true value of this vehicle to the right buyer who collects cars and would want this car for his collection, that is why i have not imported this car into New Zealand and complied it as by doing that would de value the vehicle considerably. However if you have realy done your home work on this car you will indeed know what its true value would be on the market,the reserve price is higher than the starting bid ,but if you are a bidder on the car at the starting bid and you are the top and final bidder, i might consider selling you the car for the highest bid even if the reserve price is not reached. Please for your sake if this vehicle truely interests you, do some reasurch on the net as to how rare this car infact is and what a opportunity presents you , to acturally own a vehicle of this caliaber ,all the very best to you kind regards Darren P.S HAPPY BIDDING" |
