If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason

I was just joining in the off topic fun Don't worry about upsetting me at all. Say what you want and do what you want, I don't hold grudges at all and don't mind a little arguing here and there
You seem to be a pretty smart guy, you'll figure out the way to get the best VR-4 that suits you fine.
isnt there only one way really to decide which one is right for you and thats to get in a few and drive them (drive them with heart and passion) and pick the one that makes you go WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE most!!!
the rest o it is just details there are badly maintained low milage cars and well maintained high milage cars as well as badly maintained high milage cars (best avoided) and well maintained low milage cars (like rocking horse poo). it's a lottery but good luck with the search but trust me the WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE factor is most important!!
Yes I agree been in one so far curtesy of ianturbo. Spoke to another about one this evening. And also go visit some dealers to get a laugh o sorry I mean look at some fresh importsOriginally Posted by Pastor of Muppets

When I bought mine the rate was 235Y/£ (may 08) - it's now ~130Y/£. To buy the same yens worth of car now would set me back the thin side of £6k (albeit pre-recession, pre £1 ltr super **** prices - which affects the value of these cars massively). Despite that - I'd still go for an import (the recession hits Japanese 2nd values too).
It's a tough call - but whatever you decide go into it informed. Read the buyer's guide. Ask for members input (I was surprised as fook at what the folk on here could spot on 5-7 photos of a car). If possible get an "in the flesh" opinion of the car from a member. There's a good number in the NW.
As for dealers - I'd a(be)ware of the ones near you: <Cough>ly.
