Hey guys, my names Connor I'm from the ACT.
I've been lurking the forums a lot lately as I'm currently in the process of finding a decent Soarer to pick up, and this site seems the place to be for pretty much everything :-)

Look forward to chatting to you guys soon, cheers. :-)

Welcome Connor :-) I just recently bought my very own soarer my self. I bought mine in japan and getting it imported. Here's a couple off sites i used to browse the japan auction listings, they might come in handy. I got my car for 10k landed and complied.

Also Tim has a sexy UZZ30 for sale, Send him a message and ask for some pics off it, its really clean

Thanks Jason, I'll check them out.

Unfortunately however, I've only limited funds working a casual weekend job, so I'm looking for a cheap buy that I can fix up in my own time.
However if I run into some money any time soon I'll probably start getting serious about looking at some of the Soarers in the surrounding regions, a lot of nice ones out there!

-EDIT-
Also forgot to mention, Tims looks absolutely great! Just wish he didn't live so far away, otherwise there'd be no hesitation here. :-(

It would only cost around $500~$600 to get it on a truck straight to your door. I was looking at doing that if i bought it. But if you decide to go for an auction site there's LOTS off hidden cost's to be considered.

The car was $3,000
import broker's fee $1,000
Compliance Checks $3,000+
Import fees (on the boat) $1,000

I have a family friend who runs iron chef imports so i went with him.

There was a white soarer with a super around here going for $6,000 again i would have gotten that but i wanted a black/black car and in the end it worked out a lot cheaper to buy a jzz30 and convert the engine to the 1uz than to buy a soarer v8 and change the interior after.

If you are prepared to spend >$10k there are plenty of nice Soarers out there.

Unfortunately at the moment, I have roughly $7k to drop on one and that has to include rego and insurance as well as stamp duty.

Thank you both for your input however :-)

Thought rather than making a new thread I'd just post in here.

I am now the proud owner of a Dark Green 91 UZZ31 :-)

She's an absolutely stunning car and drives brilliantly! Extremely happy to own such an amazing car :-)
