jollyranchers Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Anyone imported a zed from japan , any importer recommendations ? is it me or is there not that many zeds for sale ? , i know its not the best time of year and most people are not thinking of selling cars etc looking to spend 10,500 - 11ish looking for an azure blue with no more than 40,000 on the clock if possible !! they are like hens teeth tho! dont really want to spend anymore as at 11k its a lot of money for me getting impatient waiting for something to come up!, my budget probably doesnt help just got me thinking about importing....

rtbiscuit Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 i think you'll struggle at that price with that criteria; not saying it isn't out there, but it will bne a hard find. just beware if your at the top end of your budget these aren't cheap as chips to run. they are cheap in comparison to its rivals but it aint no fiesta.

Its GM but <40K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyranchers Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 true, but not with a 12k limit and less than 40k miles in search engine will just keep saving till something comes up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 i know a while ago when the prices originally dropped it wasn't cheaper to import and buying a UK zed worked out about the same. don't know if the balance has been re addressed since prices went up?

I doubt it. Transporting a car isn't cheap & the excahnge rate is crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I think the exchange rate has put paid to cheap imports. I've seen more Zeds for sale than anytime this year recently but prices are all over the shop. Some seem to have got carried away with idea that used car prices have gone up in general and their over-priced cars clearly aren't selling. Patience, young Jedi...

jollyranchers Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 the zed second hand prices are definately strong must resist the temptation to throw in the towel looking for a zed when i see cheap cars for the money like this ! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... &logcode=p the zeds will no doubt hold there value and more exclusive ! patience .....

rtbiscuit Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 i know its not the colour your looking for but this is on the site viewtopic.php?f=56&t=24515&start=45 personally i think the azures are a bit common, if you want exclusivity within the zed community red is the way to go, very rarely see them about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course everyone knows Ebisu is the fastest colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Moved. Azures are popular amongst the enthusiasts on the forums as are Ultra Yellows. Considering 100 or so were made I bet we've seen more than 50% of them through this club. GMs are by far the most common (popular) colour however meets are more colourful generally.
