Well if the guy bought an RX8, then I doubt that he really babied the 240… just something to think about. ---

Well, there’s different kinds of enthusiasts, this one had very minor mods (intake, shocks & springs, rims), the interior is in really nice shape and he always ran synth oil and 91 octane gas on it. You can kinda tell how a car’s been taken care of by looking & driving it, and he seemed like an honest guy too. ---

> [@Solarian](#): > > You can’t see the 180SX/Silvia in person before you buy it and have to trust your seller. And you can find a 240 with a mint frame and no body rust if you look hard enough. I bought one with a mint frame and bubbles around the 3rd brakelight on the hatch for 3500. (no rust anywhere else) A 50 year old guy with only a daughter (yea, I made sure when I was looking for a car that no male near my age has touched it for a good reason :D), the guy had oil sprayed it every year and took great care of it. He bought a new RX-8 and didn’t need the 240 anymore. He was originally asking for 6K for it. Then again, I also saw a ton of rusted up, wreck-repaired 240s for about 3K, so just keep looking. My buddy got a mint in EVERY way RX-7 FC turbo anniversary edition for 5K, and FC turbos usually go for a lot more even for the ones that are in half decent condition. it depends what importers youve spoken too but the one that i know of are honest and out of everyone that has improted, non have expereinced any surprises in the way of car problems or body condition, so consider the importer as working in your interest, their not selling you the car there buying it for you when the time comes i plan oon importing (though down the line) a couple of cars i cant find here and i will do so confidently ---

No no no, I’m not saying they’re dishonest. But you have to trust them. You have to take a leap of faith that someone that you don’t know is buying your car for you. Ideally, if you’re gonna import one, do it in the summer, take a nice vacation in Japan and pick out your car yourself. Most importers let you do that. Sure it’s costly, but it’s a great place to go on vacation, you’ll prolly get laid, and the quality of sex is quite good there 🙂 ---

R. Kelly would have a hay day there… Anyways, everything I have heard about Import Concern is good. Not one thing bad. I want the 180sx becuz it would be different. And yes it would be really hard to find a 240 here with no rust. Let alone pay 6200 for it like the one dude. The car I want looks to be in very good condition and they want 8300 for it. Plus another 850 to get it from BC to TO. Oh ya mileage is 77000km i think. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/180sx/82337.md?page=2)
