Don't forget though that what might be a p.o.s to one is gold to another so ya never know.

Spoolin - you did express interest in the car but you're not going to get an RHD del sol in that condition for under $12000 period. And that's before getting it up to code. And really posting extra comments in the thread was acting childish instead of making this thread in the first place.

That's my 2 cents

P.S. here's the link to the thread. Might have to make another after the thread got pissed on. So far I've managed to keep my responses civilized unlike the post s. I can only keep that up for so long.

BTW - This is the ONLY site that this for sale thread has been F***ed by juvenile behaviour.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

its rhd rice. you and that car are ****in gay, face it.
jdm del sol with euros and a big ol wing...sooooooo jdm.

Like how can you say a car is worth soo much when the body panels dont even line up.. because the cheap body kit...

GET THE STOCK BODY PANELS AND RETURN IT TO THE MILANO RED..then ask 9g and see where that gets you.

Jethro and his buddy....hahaha...jokes...whenever you two nut sacks find a real jdm del sol get back to me ok because it's clear neither of you knows what it takes to get a jdm here in ontario and all the other involved getting it on the road....until then...jethro - you're a regular asshat who clearly needs a F*ckin spankin cuz it's clear you have no discipline. Spoolin - when you come up with 9Gs we can talk...until then keep blowin' the hot steam.

I totally agree with you. Have you spoken to anyone with a skyline or rx7 from japan? Those cars are very hit or miss in terms of problems and you miss more often than hit. Talk to the people who have those cars and ask how much they've spent so far on keeping it running. I've spoken to them and most people just end up getting rid of theirs when the problems start. And when you consider the cost of gas,parts and repairs it's a much more pricey car to maintain.

Plus come next year a jdm might very well be harder to get in canada that is less than 20 years old because they wanna change the law to a 20 year minimum for importing.

the real question is WHY THE **** WOULD I WANT TO WASTE MY MONEY ON A DEL SLOW...LET ALONE IMPORT ONE?!?!?!?!?!?!?

i wouldnt waste my money on a usdm one, let alone jdm.

you drive a del slow with euros, a big aluminum wing and white body panels with a red engine bay...how cool do you feel?

dont worry bro, at least the winners at importfest with like your safe ride brah!

edit:
i forgot to mention the ghey body kit, fart can and stupid looking "rare" intake.

edit 2:

u must be one angry, angry man. all u guys are doing is shitting on someone elses car and for sale thread. if he finds someone to buy it for that price, great for him. if not, he keeps the car or lowers the price. ur not in ****in high school anymore (or are u?) i dont remember anyone asking u to sell your fine piece of automotive engineering (a j body right??) and buy his car, so quite frankly i dont think anyone gives a **** if YOU would spend your money on his car, because i wouldnt either, but thats irrelevant. get some and call it a day because u act like you're still 13 years old. the thing that u dont realize is that your opinion is USELESS and your comments only make your idiocy more apparent, among other things. U DRIVE A ****IN CAVALIER?!?! please tell me how that allows u to ridicule everyone elses vehicles... A ****IN CAVALIER?! u have got to be kidding me.

No disrespect or anything bud, but it's pretty obvious you don't have a clue what it takes to get a JDM car to pass all the inspections here in Ontario without some kind of hookup. It's not easy- you have to get DOT glass, headlights, and side markers, DOT tires, and other small little that adds up.

Most of the Skylines and RX7's that are for sale in ON right now were brought in before the government started to pay more attention to these cars. You can bet that in a couple of years you won't be able to get JDM cars in Ontario. Why do you think that a Skyline GTS-T Type M can sell for $10K in Ontario but would be hard pressed to get $7K in Alberta or BC?

Importing from the states is much easier- bring it up, pay the taxes, get DRL installed, and boom, you're done. Importing from JDM land is much more difficult.

Exactly man. These guys are posting nothing but ranting bullshit. I know you said you won't buy the car and hell that fine with me..These clown are acting like I expect everyone to like the car and buy it. Also correct is that importing from the US is wayyyyy easier than from Japan especially when I didn't buy the car from a dealer here.

Again someone else that actually knows something about importing. Spoolin seems to think that importing from the US is comparable to importing from Japan. And A790 is also correct on Gov't cracking down on Japanese imports. They're actuallly trying to change the 15 year rule to a 20 year rule by january next year and it might not happen then but it is definitely going to happen in the near future and then these cars will be even more rare. Spoolin, you think it's easy to go through MTO. Let alone find an MTO office that knows what the hell to do with the documents and how to put the car into the system. Clearly spoolin, you have no idea. Like I said if I had simply bought the car from an import dealer that's a different story. Man trust me you have no idea. I even at one point called a high ranking person in the MTO main provincial office who as well basically told me to shove it. Guess she was on her lunch break or doesn't like Japanese or somethin' cuz once I said Japan, she lost it..lol

Either way, spoolin, it's not an easy process by any means when you have to get shipping, track shipping, make sure shipping is on time, get a trucking company, make sure the trucking company is on time to take it to inspection, make sure they're on time to pick it up, make sure they pick it up at the rail year when it goes back there from inspection, have people ready to unload the cars and all the other things involved. Trust me if you're not on top of all the movement of the container you'll be paying out your *** in storage fees. Cheap JDM cars have problems that you will soon have to deal with afetr buying and ususally are not yet up to standard and it will hurt you if you get pulled over. Go take a look at how much dealers sell the cars for on average. 8-12 for the majority of cars. Nothing lower than that and you have to get it up to code yourself and get e-test, safety etc.

all i can say is good luck with the sale dude... hopefully this thread hasn't affected your chances of selling the car for a decent price, it looks to be in good shape. u lucked out with the eg6 too... importing from japan is so risky lol.

Im sorry I was misunderstood. I didnt mean for it to sound like i was comparing it to the states for importing.. OO i know its a load more work and headaches... the states is easy. send the title 72hrs before the date of crossing and thats it.. then get some drls in and ur set... easy..

no way near like a JDM car. I know that.

I think that car owners think that there cars are worth alot more then other ppl because of all the time that they have invested, an while you might see a 1990 civ all rusted, the owner sees it as his baby.... like we all do
