Couple of nice fc\'s goin through the auctions at the mo

[NeilSR]

Believe it didnt go through so just need to keep checking the auctions, tell him neil (stickmeup) spotted it

[Prof]

Tis nice isn\'t it

[grinder]

if it didnt go thru - is there any point in asking ??

[RemarkLima]

so even if you bought it for £74 - how much would it have costed to get it to your front door ??

Well, you\'d be looking about £600 - £700 shipping, then you\'d need to pick it up from the local dockyard and if it\'s been sat you have a daily rate for it sitting at the dock of the bay

Then as it\'s over 10 years old, you need a fog light, then a MOT, then you can go to the DVLA and get it registered for about £50 IIRC plus 6 months tax.

Then wait for your plates and jobs a carrot.

I may have missed a couple of bits as it was a few years back when I last imported anything.

[grinder]

humm its not bad if the car is THAT cheap !! LOL

can you specify what dock it goes to - liverpool would be handy

can you legally drive it out the dock if its insured on the chassis number or do you have to get it moved on a low loader ?

[NeilSR]

Got to add customs charges, 10% tax and vat ontop of the initial pucrhase and shipping price - rough costs

purchase cost - £500
Shipping - £800
10% import duties £130
15% vat - £215
Release fees - £100

So roughly £1745 and then you have


mot
fog
any other work
registering - £50
Car tax
plates

No idea on driving it out, but providing its going straight to an mot test station and you have insurance, you may be covered, you would need to check that though

[NeilSR]

yes you can specify the dock, and when I said it hadnt gone through I just meant it hadnt been sold that all

My fc cost me around £2200 to get into the country and get all sorted and on the road

[RemarkLima]

Sorry, totally forgot about the big costs... Tax!!!

So the (car cost + Shipping) + 10% duty + 15% VAT... They\'re the bits that really sting.

Plus that add the duty and VAT to the shipping as well, which makes no sense to me.

i think i just had a sex wee ?!?!?!

[NeilSR]

Plenty of nice cars out there for cheap money

Just dont seem to be many purchasing or my import business would be going very well, lol

[flatout]

love the RE a wheels on the last one,would cost 2200 euro to clear that car here in ireland,you lads are very lucky in the uk

[flatout]

Still quiet a few nice FC\'s in Japan, I nearly brought myself this the other month but as Jit has said, the exchange rate has plummeted and its just not worth it at the moment.

this car is now on the boat to ireland,fc,s are getting very very popular over here,some very modified ones here now,to anyone that is thinking of selling a fc all i say is dont under value it,a good one is rare,

[NeilSR]

The vert at the top is going back through the auctions today
