Looking at this Levin...

So i was looking at Japan Partner and I found this very sexy Toyota Levin 1.6L NA that has 104,000 km and only for 4,722 USD and i was thinking of saving up and getting it. What do you think

The guy that i know that imports them from japan sells them for 9-10 minimum plus shipping of 4-5 so that sounds like a decent deal. Pics?

Yeah show me some pics

Nah i meant like the car you are asking about. Like you asked if it was a good deal, well hows it look, you know?

Ahh okay yeah its red with black rims with stock interior, they only had one pic up but ill post it

Wait there is a couple so ill put 3 or 4 up

body looks solid, checked for rust and all that?

Thinking of saving up?
Starting from how much money?
That car will probably be gone by then.

Starting from 5K, and the car's been up for a couple of years and people have yet to buy it so I think i have a pretty good chance, but you never know man

listen its not as easy as you think yyea you can buy it for 4 and change that doesnt include fees and not to mention you still need a container to ship it cost about 2500 to 3 gs depending on who ur going with and if you dont go with a well knonw shipping comapny there just gonna throw your car in a shityy ass small contianer and your cars gonna be beat to heall when u get it not to mention depending on what part of the states ur in you gotta realize that JAPAN PARTNER only goes to main popular ports and ask yourself is there a huge port right around where i live if not the ur gonna pay out the ass for them to find some one to trailer your car my tip to you is get the money to have a car shipping company that deals with the us and can do ur paper work so when it touchs us soil you can have no problems and that right there they do deals shipping and paperwork is about 7 grand itself so u figure 12k for a 86 u can find one around here and have a sick swap in it for that kinda of money second choice is going to canada (good look with the border patrol cuz if they want they can have that car crushed with inadequate paper work)i hope this helps i will find the forms you have to fill

A "good condition" low milage 86 in Japan that hasnt been picked up by a japanese car enthusiast in a couple years sounds odd to me.

Sounds like something deterring the locals from buying it, possibly the asking price is too high even for locals.

Not to mention having to deal with emissions, customs, etc just to get the car legal on the streets here.

A member here, Avanti, had his previous Chaser imported to the states all in all spent 18k and it was a PITA.

If you want to wait til you got 10k in hand then you can pm me and i can give you some details that i gave Obelisk. The guys that he is looking to go through are much much less of a hassle. Cars get eitehr come in or someone puts in a special order. They get shipped to LA. They sit in a ware house federalized already waiting to be sold, and the buyer of the car has to put an extra 5k on top to pay for shipping but they deliver to your door.

Alright I'll probably have 10 or 11K In 3 or 4 months
