I was from a friend in the Uk about the chance to buy a 300ZX fairlady through different UK importers in Japan, they sell the cars everyday from Japanese auctions, models from 1995 and up even to 1999, they will ship the car to southhampton. I actually live in Sweden and I am a little afraid of getting ripped with this option.They said to me that the cars go from grade 1 to 4 and that I can get a very nice deal on them But I am afraid that what if the car has some problems and then I would have to go from sweden to Uk to battle with them? If I lived in the UK would be different cause I would always be there to go eachday, or when the car has some problems. I would like to know are these companies trustable? did anyone ever bought a 300zx from auctions in Japan through any of theese dealers? if so I would really appreciate some info and suggestion on it. I am linking some of the dealer I talked to:

Please need your help!!!!

Thanks from Coooold!!!! Sverige;)

..you run this risk where ever you buy the car from. True it's easier if the dealer is in your location, but often the dealers know very little about 300zx's so you might as well sort out the problems yourself - find your own specialist.

 

Dealers exist to make money and cars are sold because there's invariably there's something wrong with them (you are lucky if you can find one for fase because the owner has got fed-up with it). So when you buy a car you should try as hard as possible to reduce the dealers price, and what you save, be prepared to spend that (and a little more) putting the car right.

 

If you do not know a lot about these crs get an owner to check the car you want to buy, get a list of what's wrong with the car, and use this to negotiate the sale price. When it's yours, you sort the problems - at least you have the knowledge they've been done right, as opposed to botched by the dealer.

 

I did all of these things and three years later I'm still driving a great car that's proved to be very relable - although it's a nornally aspirated version.

 

...oh - and pay as much as you can, don't buy cheap.

 

good luck
