ok here we go
i need as much advice as i can get please
i am 23 and still living at home (which is sad on its own) but i have been warned by my dad that buying a jap import is dangerous because of a number of factor.
1. No History
2. Could have been Thraped
3. Old car
4. Expencive and hard to find parts
5. Wear and tear on the car (engine, gear box, running gear etc)
6. Allot of money to spend on a car with no history
7. Highmilage and high price
8. Could have been clocked and no way of telling
etc
etc
Has anyone had problems, i have started threads about mileage and stuff like that and read the ones about clocking etc
But still he has put the frighteners up me.
i want an ek9 so bad there is no other car i want, i have the motorbike i have wanted since a kid now i want the car,
if i get an ek9 imported or from a dealer or from a private sale am i going to get stung? is all the mileage etc on the import documents etc,
Sorry to ask so many questions but i need to fire something back at my dad as i am going to get one i just want to know if anyone else has had any problems with their cars, it is allot of money to spend on an old car and i am a bit scared of getting a nail that will cost be hundreds in repair bills that I could be spending modding it to what I want
thanks for the advice people
cheers
