I read sometime ago on here there was a special auction at Southampton for jap imports..anyone any ideas when this takes place?

hi chris are you after a car as i can get them directed from the auctions in japan may cost a bit more but you should get a good genuine car.

all the best sid

From memory, I think it is called Wilsons Car Autions and it is in the ABP building right on the dock. Tuesdays was the day last time I went (about a year ago).

Be careful, they have some real crap come though. Do not be tempted by silly prices (they soon mount up with SVA and registration)!!!!!!!

There are 2 running at present, though not as active as they were 4 months ago.

One is Southampton vehicle auction near dock gate 10, and they run every fortnight. Tel 023 8063 1631.

The other is through dock gate 4. website http://www.motorwaycarauctions.com. It would be best to check the stock for sale first. They do not have a lot of sports cars compared with the 4x4 veriety.

You have to get the cars registered etc, but no big deal. You have to remember that you have to put £500 down before you are even allowed to bid.

please, please, please DONT even bother, been there, done that, know people who have bought gto/fto, in the long run end up paying much more AND all the hassle of putting them right.

 

the only motivation i can see to buying a specialist mojo like a zed from an auction is to save money, and as we know, there hard enough when there good, so why buy a bad one??

 

yes they all look nice and shiny but long term big bucks, if you want a 'cheap' zed, but a dog for 3k off autotrader, if however you want a good one, buy one off here(theres enough going) chances of getting a good one from a forum member who has cared for it are high. As always in this shitty life, you only EVER get what you pay for!!!

the above is a fact and not an opinion

If you want an import then you can always buy mine as its up for sale. I bought it from a millionaire businessman so its been very well cared for and no expense spared on this model even with me.

I am also selling mine. Its a Aug.1999 import (non-turbo though). One owner from new (i.e. bought myself new in Japan and then imported myself). Let me know if you are interested.
