mart1 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) noticed this on eBay... trader selling it Toyota starlet glanza v & it is a fresh import, how can they make any money? When it costs a fortune to import these days, then you get traders selling them for £5000 to £5500. I have looked into importing a starlet & with all the costs you need about £3500 £4000.http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=321791153344&alt=web Edited June 25, 2015 by mart1 Quote
morgey Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Must have been dirt cheap. Its what 900 min for shipping? So 500/600 for the car is 1500 plus 30% fees another 450 is the 1950. Plus a bit of cost for getting it on uk roads. Would leave him a few 100 profit lol Quote
mart1 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 I messaged them just to be nosey lol & they messaged me back with.....We buy cheap sell cheap as long as we make a drink we move on to the next.The mileage is 12800KM 79000mls Quote
morgey Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Fair enough, as long as the buyer doesnt expect much you're ok i suppose Quote
JamesD89 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Description is as vague as the pictures, not a good for sale add If I were local maybe worth a look as price sounds negotiable too but Otherwise meh. Quote
mart1 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 Yeah you cannot expect much with it going that cheap at a dealers.They got a nice 1991 TOYOTA COROLLA GT-i 16 TWIN CAM in white there for sale, that looks smart. Quote
FrozenJakalope Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Even so, worst case is the engines shit and you buy a new one for £400-500 and you've instantly added that straight onto the value. Quote
Ollieh17 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Most import companies make an absolute fortune on people buying. The cars are dirt cheap and the shipping isnt as much as you think. The mark up is what makes it seem expensive Quote
_shaun_ Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Agreed I was quoted £4500 to buy and import a car I had seen in Japan by a company in the uk. I done it myself and total cost was £2000 Quote
