Well, its true, but they all come with a various problems that are not too hard to get over.

1) Manual but LHD, 200,000yen http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfis ... 2F64255137

2) Auto RHD, 1989 ie have to wait, 300,000yen http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfis ... Fg14076783

3) Same deal, worse condition, 200,000yen http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfis ... Fd43213509


Now for some others

4) 1982, cool mirrors, looks in good condition, digital dash 70,000yen http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfis ... Fg14664415

New, Cheaper but still exxy

5) 1989, new one, white, manual, wheels are so so, 480,000yen yen not a bad deal but still in the low to mid teens by the time you get it here. http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfis ... Fb47547428

6) Looks very clean, auto, but exxy http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfis ... 2Ff6192353

7) From the "youve gotta be fkn kidding me files" 980,000yen wich would be well and truly on the bad side of $20k here http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfis ... Fc36609511

so.... whose up for a auto -> manual conversion?

or you perthies can leave the LHD one how it is :)

There is no normal wheel. The muffler is special order original. Indication of the automatic air conditioner applies point reaching point kana. The air conditioner it is not effective, but if the gas is inserted, working hours it does the compressor. Paint the crack cracks in the bonnet and the bumper. It is about on in. Interior the skin seat becomes hard and is also tear and スレ. The year type fit rust, there is also small scratch and エクボ etc.. Upper bid of understanding. The unclear point question.

i want a no normal wheel to, and a special original muffler :)

a misfiring system would be nice too!
"upper bid of understanding"???????
"The unclear point question"?
Is that like going to HJ's and ordering a Whopper double beef minus the beef? Would you get a normal whopper then?
Or maybe it's like a coffee made like a half double de-caffenated half caff, with a twist of lemon?
Oh, i don't know! I guess English is hard to make common-sensical nonsense of...

What you are reading is a translated version of the original Japanese Yahoo website, and therefore, you will be reading "Japlish". I also found many terms very amusing when I first read them. "Star Lyon" is Japlish for "Starion".

Enjoy :D

I was hoping it was something i could eat, I think i shall seriously look into the cost of getting one imported and complied for Aus standards.

For a 500,000 Yen (FOB) car, it will cost you about $7,200 ex-Japan. Shipping is between $1500-2000, import taxes are $2000, and then there may be local agent fees ($1,000) for an importer to do the paperwork. Then once it gets here, it willneed anywhere between $1,000 and $2,000 in order for it to have minor compliancing done (anyone can do it) in order to meet local registration requirements. Then you have to add normal registration costs.

So the costs will get close to $15,000. As a quick guide, double the FOB price to get the on road cost.

Star Lyons, Sea Bass, Run Sir, Sail Plains, Strawberry Face japlish is all good. (the inherrant problem lies that the translation is actually fine, but the syntax of the language is different to english).

To have a think about it, all those tshirts etc with jap writing on it over here probably makes as much sense as japlish.

t-shirts

its an alright price, but once you add on the shipping, shipping insurance, paperwork, rego, compliance and insurance here you'd b spending up around 10-12k plus around 2-3months of time...so its an ok price but i think ide rather stick with narrowbody unless a wide is for sale here.
