Glenn if you buy this one and the racing GT you could build your self a very nice car and have a large collection of saleable parts to fund the perfect winter project

[Glenn]

It would be a very long winter project !

If that car was here, you would snap it up in a moment for the bits alone but paying $375 for the car then 5k or so to bring it home, perhaps not !
Actually more as it would have to come in a container... possible $1500 more again.

Gotta ask Glenn........Where are you getting your shipping costs from????

These types of cars would most likely only be shipped in a container. Very unlikely that it would be capable of RoRo shipping. Any car that needs resto would need to be shipped via container.

[Glenn]

my costs are based on on roll on....... including all costs, clearance, de-reg, import agent, gst, FOB etc etc..... it runs about 6k out of Japan. Depends on price of a car also of course.

i have been told to add about $1500 for a container.

[Glenn]

the GT sold for ~$1500

what costs are you finding?

my breakdown is this, from 2 importers:

FOB costs $1200
shipping and customs agents etc $2000
import agent 2 in Melbourne I asked, one charges $990, the other $1100
to find cars, do the paperwork, organise shipping etc
telegraphic transfer fees, $22 to local bank, $35 to international bank
(not itemised, but "loss" due to Bank currency exchange rates typicall 3-4%)
10% GST obviously depends on value of car on landed cost

On a $10,000 car in Japan, my estimate from above is about $6000 in 'costs'
