Access to the Japanese Auction Watch?

[Stirling]

I had Scott buy from the auction, not directly from the seller.

His fee was above and beyond the price of the car, and was borne by me.

Do you have a link to the Pole Position website?

Do you mind if I ask what his fee was? Most exporters fee is 100,000 - 125,000 JPY which should be far less than the cost of an Alpina.

His fees are listed here:

But he was offering a bit of a discount because of the currently high value of the Yen.

Thanks, he's got some nice stuff.

Its odd how retail prices in Japan seem higher than elsewhere, but auction prices seem lower than elsewhere.

No kidding. A 325I M-technique for like 1.2 mil? Its clean, but its only 300,000 clean..... maybe.

On another note, best Japanese "deal" to be had:

Subaru Legacy GT-B Wagon. 280HP, AWD, Average price for a grade 4 with low miles is like $500. Thats pretty nuts. I wish I lived on the west coast. Well, maybe not... I would import cars all day long. Unfortunately its $1200 to have a car delivered from the port to me.
