Jap Import Dealers - Good Bad And Ugly?

[not so furious]

Hi All

Looking to buy my first FD after years of admiration and not sure which way to turn..autotrader, Ebay, for sale forum, pistonheads etc etc

I see on autotrader there are quite a few \'speciliast\' jap importers. Any one have any good or bad exeperiences to report? Home Run cars and Automarques have a few in my price range.

Feedback appreciated.

whats wrong with our own vendor at the top of the page, who supports this club? or the others in our vendors section?

[not so furious]

Nothing at all unless anyone can tell me otherwise. I have checked out rotary imports but they seem to be doing too well as all the uk stock is sold!

My budget is £6 ish only so I am limited in choice.

Theres always a chance you will find a decent rx7 in any of those places, i recently saw a rx on autotrader which looked very nice and had a rebuild already completed, advised a chap on here to go look at it and he bought it

The main thing to remember is if the previous owner says it has a rebuild ask to see the proof, ie where it was rebuilt as we all know each other on here, so you can ask on here if the cars a good one.

Ebay / Autotrader / importers are all a risk but you can find a very good one, keep looking buddy.

Your price range will also establish just what you can get too.

For example:

1992 rx7 twin turbo, 38500miles, cat 1 alarm, 18" alloys , £6000
07867523245

[gsb876]

Heres another:

1993 rx7 twin turbo, cat 1 alarm,, 17" alloys, rebuild 3k ago, £6495

07974 074108

[gsb876]

Then at the top end of the market you have stuff like this:

1996 rx7 twin turbo, covered just 8000 miles, 18" alloys, £15995

01252 545941

gsb, fantastic looking car!

My trouble is when it comes to RX7 my heart takes over. If I let my head ruled then I wouldnt even contemplate buying an RX7!

I am getting to know what to look out for though.

Got a great insurance quote - £228!

I am currently dealing with Group20 in Southampton.
They seem like a good outfit who have very reasonable terms and conditions.

I don\'t have time to go into detail right now but I will try and come back tomorrow and write more.... off to a bloody wedding shortly! What a great way to ruin a Saturday! :p
