Price differences

[Guest]

Went looking this morning at some Legnums in Yards and the price diffrences was a shock talking about nearly 10k diffrence from Dealer to private.In one yard they had a 99 model legnum wagon with factory Recaros asking 25000.I will wait till my colt sells and try the private market.

You can even get a couple more grand off private sales if you go through a Import broker like Iron Chef or J-Spec.

After the prices i saw today in the yards thats the way i will go when i come to buy the car either private or i will import one myself

private is the way,i basically got mine for near close enough to the import price

when someone decides to sell they should go to one of these dealer ships that charge stupid prices and see what they offer for trade-in,and then prepare for all the excuses for why your legnum isnt worth as much as theirs..

And there's always a few on here as well for sale (which is always a shame, but I bought mine off the forums here).

The thing is through the private sales here, you can actually research the history of the car and people know about it.

That Ralliart Colt of yours is an interesting ride too

saying you bought your car from the forums is like saying the Osbournes are a normal family, and that Hugh Hefner has settled down!

very true,before i even went and had a look at my car,i had read everything mentioned about it on this forum,plus found the import ad from iron chef stating everything about it,so i knew what i was getting

Dealers will charge what they think its worth ... really a VR4 should be worth $25,000 ... but just look around and you'll find a good price on a private car. I wouldn't buy from a dealer as they wouldn't care as much about what they are getting from japan as a person importing it for themselves. Stick on the forums and see what comes up

*scratches head in confusion*

Joe have you taken a look at the How to Buy and Import a VR4 Guide? There's some tips in there about the options available to you.

But the Osbournes ARE a normal family (to me) and even though respect goes to "the Hugh", Larry Flint gets my vote

Back on-topic... if people are willing to pay $25,000... hmmm
