anyone buy a dc5 from jap auctions

**gregsir** · 03-05-2006 02:07 AM

i`ll be considering this option if it is too hard to get mine over

has any of you`s ever bought your own car from the jap house auctions and then got it shipped to aus?
at present with my mods stripped and leaving the hks suspension and the clifford alarm i could get $41,600/€25,000.

any help is appreciated

we aren't able to import Japanese Integra Type R's because of our import laws.

The only way to get a JDM Type R onto our shores is if you have owned it for over 1 year in Japan.

jeez that harsh.i`ll have had mine 1 year by the time i`ll going over will that apply to me?as it wouldn`t be coming from japan.

its the same everywhere i believe
if ur importing, must have owned it for a yr prior to bringin it over

should apply to you too.

i had a guy who brought a rolls royce from singapore to australia and I gave him an insurance policy. as long as its your private vehicle that you own somewhere else.

thanks,

Mmmm you also have to prove that you've owned it for a year and from what I remember prove that you actually use it eg rego papers, insurance papers if applicable etc etc (not just store it overseas for a year and live in Australia)....
