Went and looked at a '96 Delica today. Was promising on paper - Super Exceed with sunroof + panorama roof, LWB, turbo diesel*, but tyres were rotten and owner had installed some bullshit LED headlights that got them a defect notice (and apparently still got them angry flashes from oncoming traffic after they 'fixed it' with electrical tape on the top half), no paperwork at all. Didn't bother with the test drive but suspension seemed a bit tired too. Yeah nah mate, not for $6500 at 270,000kms. *automatic of course, the 5 speeds are basically vaporware on the L400 body style Ethics_Gradient fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Feb 28, 2019 |

Kaker do you split wire transfers up per vehicle or just send one when you are buying multiple at a time. Gotta go send the funds to JCD after work.

Fuckin' garbage sellers everdave posted:Kaker do you split wire transfers up per vehicle or just send one when you are buying multiple at a time. Gotta go send the funds to JCD after work. We combine if possible. When we sell a car we ususally try to buy 2-3 with the funds from that. In that way JCD usually gives us a bit of time to pay everything all at once to save on wire fees. We have a business account with a large bank so it's less that we're trying to avoid fees and more like we are trying to not burn up our allotment of free wires in a month.  Auction Sheet posted:5mt, ac, studless tires, interior dirty and scratches, wheels scratched, undercarriage surface rust, small chips in windshield, other dents scratches Inspection Report posted:engine starts idles and revs fine, no smoke or vibrations, timing belt sticker from 2013 17,000 km, coolant color and level ok, no oil leaks, studless tires at 50% slight cracks, spare ok, no leaks mold or rust in trunk area, suspension light surface rust, boots ok, windshield chips small, seats good, dashboard ok, ceiling liner ok, carpet worn, no burns, ac ok, clutch ok, gears ok, check lamps ok, lights ok, wipers ok Put in a bid of 278,477¥, sold for 337,000¥ lost by 58523¥, ~$530, and I thought I bid fairly high. I suspect it's because it's a top-end Street, fully-optioned, low miles, excellent condition. Those sorts of vans seldom come up at all and so command premiums within their markets. Kind of like a mini Delica. It seems like Hondas are the kings of cool kei vans for at least importing to the USA. I'll keep a look out and see if this shows up in my instagram, on that Pacific Coast auto YouTube channel, or somewhere else in the USA in the coming months.  SPEAKING OF Pacific Coast auto, there is a guy I met through Instagram that had been using Pacific Coast Auto for a while, bought 5~ or so cars through them. The last one he bought was a bad experience with also the vehicle itself being subpar. We talked on the phone about it and man, working with Pacific Coast Auto seems like a right pain in the rear end. I know I've been working with JCD so long so I'm set in my ways but there is a bunch of weirdness with how the Pacific Coast Auto guys run things. First, they do not offer third-party inspections. If you go back and watch the earlier videos of Derek's (the main guy there) he makes a big deal about being honest, so honest, in fact, that they will not lower the reported price of the vehicle when exported. That's a fine idea but the nature of how this all works is that everyone intentionally says they sold a vehicle for less. If you don't the only people that benefit is the government doing the taxing, it's a direct loss proposition to the end customer. He makes it seem like he's some sort of goofy honest guy, and he might be! But not offering the third-party inspections is loving wild. If you watch the videos they frame the sheet as being the end-all-be-all, and seemingly go out of there way to not mention that third party inspections are a thing, as most of the people watching those videos just assume how they show it is how it is. Third party inspectors though are just roaming those big-rear end lots full of auction vehicles. When you request an inspection they just mark it on their list and swing by it when they are inspecting all the other cars on their list. This is why it's only around $30 bucks for an inspection, those dudes are out there already! I can only surmise that the reason Pacific Coast Auto doesn't do that is tied into the other thing I'm going to talk about, and also it might not 'fit' with how their structure and business operate. Second, in lieu of third party inspections, they ship the vehicles from the auction to their lot in Japan, where Derek goes over the vehicle with a bunch of pictures and a video detailing the vehicle in question. If the buyer allows they put it up on YouTube, but from what my Instagram bro says you get a video like that for every vehicle bought through them. Nice, then, that you get all those details but it's after you buy the thing so if it turns out there is a massive oil leak (like a few of the vehicles I've bought have had that the sheet didn't mention, namely the HiAce and Domingo) or a blown headgasket you're SOL since you're already on the hook for paying for the vehicle. Plus you're paying for shipping twice, once to their lot from wherever in Japan, then again to the port itself to be shipped out. It just seems so dishonest-by-ignorance, you know? Especially since Japan Car Direct doesn't actually touch or physically deal with whatever vehicle you get. Since you have the third party inspection you get a good idea of what the vehicle is like from someone who doesn't give a hot poo poo if you like their report or not (where as with Derek at Pacific Coast is always going to be biased about his inspection since you already bought it), and you only pay the once to ship it to port. When there you get someone that takes a bunch of pictures of your vehicle as I always post mine here in this thread. Yoshi has never actually physically seen any vehicle I've bought, nobody from Japan Car Direct has ever touched them. Seems to work out juuuust peachy! Plus its cheaper.

I imported a 1991 subaru sambar ks3. Its in Texas with all the proper paperwork and it cleared customs. Its currently sitting in the driveway of a private residence near Dallas. I imported it under my Dad's name because he said it would be no problem for him to register it and then ship it to me in California. He sat on his rear end and did nothing for a month and now the battery is dead. Then he recently lost the keys somehow and taking the lock cylinder to a locksmith to have it rekeyed is something he cant do. I think hes just broke as gently caress and wont admit it, so anything that costs more than $10 "cant be done" Does anyone who is familiar with registering an imported vehicle want to take over? About $2500 has been spent total getting it into the US. I would gladly let it go for less as long as I can get it out of his incompetent hands before the whole thing rots away from neglect. Im also going to contact all the companies selling already imported vehicles but I know they will lowball super hard since they could just import it themselves Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Mar 1, 2019 |

It's just like when you buy or sell a car private party, what the title says was paid for the car isn't always (or if we're honest, never) what is actually paid for the car. Whatever your invoice says is what gets taxed, be it 2.5% or 25%. This means that everyone and their mom, their mom's mom and their dog always report a lower price on the invoice the Department of Homeland Security sees, it's a ubiquitous thing with in-Japan exporters. Once it's here the state gets their cut as well. Depending on what state though they either go by invoice (like Florida does) or blue book value (lol @ JDM for that) or whatever else moon-values they dream up.

He let the battery go dead so that he couldnt drive it to the inspection then he lost the keys ensuring that even if he fixed the battery he couldnt drive it to the inspection. Texas has nothing to do with his self inflicted problems. Ill get pics ASAP, but it will be a few days.

It IS a Tercel/Paseo, the whole deal with the Sera is a fancy body on top of a totally bog-standard chassis. Kind of like a boring version of Nissan's Pike cars (Be-1, Pao, Figaro). If you are somewhere with sun and heat I hear the Sera is uncomfortable because of all the glass. I'd only really consider 5 speeds as was already suggested and it will probably be a cool and neat car. Mtmd posted:If I had not just closed on a house I would grab this in a heartbeat.

Between the rust, battling the Secretary of State's office for a title that's still stuck in limbo (18 months after my application was submitted and 12 after the car was sold, thanks Illinois!), the amount of time the car spent on blocks, waiting weeks for parts to be shipped from the other side of the planet, etc I've probably asked this before, but how do you guys like living with them? Are they worth the hassle? big crush on Chad OMG posted:This thread makes me want a Cappuccino. Beside the Beat, are there any other convertibles/targas that are easy enough to find?

big crush on Chad OMG posted:This thread makes me want a Cappuccino. Beside the Beat, are there any other convertibles/targas that are easy enough to find? If you're into the kei class tiny stuff the only other convertibles that are available within US legality are Jimnys. For convertibles overall the already mentioned Figaro, but the Pao and Be-1 were also available in rag-top form but it was an option, not all of them are convertibles. You get the rare Pajero and Land Cruiser convertibles, paying a high premium on the Cruiser. First-gen Hilux Surfs (JDM 4Runners) are kind of convertibles in that the rear section can come off but the cab will always be covered. The Mitsubishi Jeeps are always able to go topless too. Beyond that the standard stuff but in JDM form, MR-2s, Fairladys, Celicas, etc. The Door Frame posted:I've been watching kei auctions for years now, and I'm finally in a place where I can almost afford one, but I'm still gunshy from the X1/9.

I think it's worth it for the attention/personality the cars have but ymmv. Parts are a non-issue, the hardest I have to look for things is for the Rugger but who cares it owns hard. The AZ-1 is not a targa nor a convertible, it's the least breezy-car in the world. If you like the wind in your hair you will hate the AZ-1 as it sucks huge rear end for that.

The only movable glass in the whole car are the little tiny ticket windows. There isn't anything preventing you from taking the doors off though, and with the doors wide open the wind is great! Though I've only gone parking lot speeds with them up.

A tale of three misses in a row: Auction Sheet posted:5MT, ac, 1kz diesel turbo engine, lifted, crystal lens, cold weather package, rear heater, third row seats missing, front end repairs, interior dirty and worn, undercarriage repainted and surface rust, rear mounted spare removed, right baffle bent, cowl panel slightly bent, right front wheel well replaced, small chips in windshield, other dents scratches Inspection Report posted:engine starts idles and revs fine, no smoke or vibrations, timing belt sticker from 2008 96,9XX km, oil dirty, slight sludge, coolant color and level ok, engine slightly oily but not dripping, tires at 50% starting to crack, no leaks mold or rust in trunk, undercarriage /suspension painted over what appears to be corrosion, no holes, right rear tail lamp area paint peeling, windshield chips small, repairs ok, no burns or tears in seats but edges worn and creased, dashboard ok, ceiling liner slightly loose and dirty, interior needs cleaning but no burns, ac ok, clutch ok, gears ok, check lamps ok, 4wd ok, lights ok, right front turn signal weak, windows ok, wipers ok. Put in a bid of 916,354 yen, considering it's a former accident vehicle with an R grade. Highest bid was 1,099,000, reserve not met so it didn't sell. Not terribly surprised, notice the pictures have the plate blocked out. It's a private sale so I expected a high reserve.  Auction Sheet posted:5mt, ac, diesel, small chips in windshield, other dents and scratches Inspection Report posted:engine starts 2nd time, belt noises, no smoke or vibrations, oil dirty, coolant slight oil sheen, coolant level ok, oil pan area slightly oily but not dripping, engine area clean, tires cracked 40%, spare ok, no leaks mold or rust in trunk, undercarriage good, boots ok, windshield chips small, seat covers look installed when new, dashboard ok, ceiling liner ok, interior ok, no burns, ac ok, clutch ok, gears ok, check lamps ok, lights ok, windows ok, wipers ok, sunroof ok Put in a bid of 305,555 yen, highest bid was 307,000 yen, one single bid increment. That's OK though as I don't know what a 2WD non-turbo diesel Mazda van would sell like, 5 speed manual and low mileage can only get you so far. Is in exceptional quality with the maybe-concern of the oily sheen in the coolant.  Auction Sheet posted:at, ac, keyless, aftermarket wheels, diesel, ceiling liner dirty, mirrors scratched, undercarriage surface rust, other dents scratches, tail lens cracked Inspection Report posted:engine starts idles and revs fine, no smoke or vibrations, no sludge, coolant ok, valve cover area slightly oily but no drips, tires at 70% ok, spare ok, no leaks mold or rust in trunk, undercarriage/wheel well/fenders slight surface rust only, boots ok, windshield chips small, body as is in diagram, seats ok, carpet stains, dashboard ok, ceiling liner dirty, interior good, no burns, ac ok, at no shock or lag, check lamps ok, lights ok, mirrors not working, windows ok, wipers ok, moon roofs ok Put in a bid of 916,309 yen, lost to a higher bid of 933,000 yen. You might reconize this sort of HiAce as the one that sold on Bring a Trailer for 20 goddamned grand, but this one is the fancy KZ turbo diesel vs. the non-turbo 3L that was in the BaT HiAce. Not too surprised we lost on this one, but a bit miffed it was so close, 150 fuckin' dollars.

 Auction Sheet posted:5mt, ac, keyless, diesel, aftermarket wheels/grill, inspection records, owner's manual, spare key, mirrors not working, aftermarket steering wheel worn, interior dirty and scratched, left and right front wheel wells slightly bent, wheels corroded, mirrors and steps scratched, small chips in windshield, other dents scratches paint waves Inspection Report posted:engine starts idles and revs fine, no smoke or vibrations, timing belt sticker at 100,000 km, no sludge, coolant ok, valve cover area oily but not dripping, tires at 70% no cracks, wheels/tires inside ok, spare ok, no leaks mold or rust in trunk, undercaggiage good, boots ok, body as is in diagram, front wheel well slight bent part is just the very tip and looks ok, seats ok, dashboard ok, ceiling liner ok, no burns, ac ok, clutch ok, gears ok, check lamps ok, 4wd ok, lights ok, wipers slow, windows slow, sunroof ok Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ80, 4.2 turbo diesel with 5 speed manual transmission. Original cloth seats, no rust, no rot, original manuals, a bunch of inspection records, couple of original keys. It doesn't say one owner (usually does) but with all original paperwork and keys that is typically a hallmark. If you notice the Japanese plates on the truck it means this is a private sale in that someone had USS put the Crusier up for auction. Downsides in my mind are the aftermarket wheels, aftermarket steering wheel, lift, slow wipers and windows. Upside is 118,000 miles and now I can add "FANATIC" to our "OUTDOOR FREAKS" uh, rear-of-diesel-offroader label collection. Paid the highest price for this out of anything, about $1000 more than the really clean AZ-1. KakerMix fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Mar 8, 2019 |

Does it have the stock front and rear lockers too? (looks like a knob, or look for the e-locker sticking out of the front / rear where the diff bolts into the axle) Those wheels are pretty rad
