EK9 question

[tomrbuerge]

Thanks subie,
Looked into Edward Lee and it looks good. I'll see where it goes. I have emailed Phil. See what he says.
Here is the website if anyone wants to have a look - http://www.japaneseautocentre.com.au/
What does everyone else think?

i made a thread wanting to get one about this also
ahahahaha

man..so hard to find

what if someone purchased it..say from new zealand
owned it for like 1 - 6 months

and decided to move to sydney? does that count as being a personal import or does he/she need to own the car for at least 2 YEARS??

You won't be able to import an EK9 under SEVs because it does not meet the criteria. It is not significantly different to the EK4 (3 Door Hatch, 1.6L, etc). SEVs is the scheme that allows for the import of EP3, Skylines, 200SX etc.

The only way to import an EK9 is to live overseas for 12 months, and own drive, and maintain the car and retain receipts to prove this.

Hope that helps

if it makes you feel better at night knowing you sold off some piece of crap as genuine...then good on ya

[kunzo]

i have heard from multiple sources that this car is rebirthed (and unsafe) ...dont ask me tho i have NFI. But it does sound like a dodgy situation

yeah you read right. ive thought long and hard about my smart comment and i stand by it...thanks for your concern though.

sure itd be awesome to have a genuine ek9, but when its rebirthed as MULTIPLE RELIABLE SOURCES have told me then you're nothing short of a thug in selling it to someone else as such. this is an advice to others wanting to buy import like these that they need to be ultra careful.

its a geniune ek9 all it was the VIN number was changed, i bought it like that. does the change of vin number matter that much ? lol
