I went to the nissan home page to see if there was anything about the new 300. Couldn't read a bloody thing! I did however see the word skyline and clicked on it.

 

Loads of squiggles and 504.8. It looked more like a price than a HP rating so I banged it into MSN money converter.

 

Get this, 28 big ones. That is 27 grand cheaper than it is to buy one here. Group buy anyone?

Phil,

 

Just shows how much of a rip-off society we live in. No wonder they don't want us to go into Europe? F**kin' twats!

 

That's why Top Gear has been crusading for years about how much UK gets a raw deal on new car prices. We keep takin' it up the tail pipe while everyone else(Germany, France, etc.) is laughing their arses off!

 

Sometimes I feel ashamed and pissed off to live in Blightey!

I was investigating buying one of the last TT's in 1999 and discovered exactly the same. Think I worked it out to be about £27k to get it over here. Last time the model was sold in the UK, which was about 1994, they ware around the £36K mark !

 

Will be keeping an eye out for one in the next year or so though - secondhand price should have dropped in Japan.
