glastoveteran Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm just in the process of buying a JDM zed through a Bonsaicars auction at the moment and would quite like to put my mind at rest about how much I'm paying! What sort of price does everyone think this is worth on the UK market as a JDM car? Roadster Version T June 2007 3000 miles Grade 5 Night blue White / grey leather (can't remember the official name) 18" standard wheels It's still in Japan at the moment so won't be with me for another couple of months but I'm quite happy with my UK coupe until then! :-) Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 found a UK car on Autotrader very similar spec for £20k so less than that for a JDM http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... x_mileage= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glastoveteran Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Even though that's a 2007 car on Autotrader it looks like it's an 06 model judging by the bonnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Even though that's a 2007 car on Autotrader it looks like it's an 06 model judging by the bonnet? yes your right , looks like 07 cars fetch £4k more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 how much will the JDM car stand you at ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Even though I have an import and would definitely go down that road again I don't think I'd do it with such a young car purely because of no warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glastoveteran Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Well at least it's still in the teens but you're right about the warranty. The internet can be a dangerous place after much wine! Must learn to control my clicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 .............on the other hand, if the savings outweigh anything that might crop up that needs working on then you've done well in the gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15MNO-Daron Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I wud assume JDM's save u between £3-4k on 03-06 car. My 03 arrived just serviced with nismo bodykit, boot net and carpets for no extra cost and was £3.5k less than equivalent uk model. Just need shop around.
