What it needs...An exhaust clamp needs to be welded and there may be an electrical drainage. There is a kill switch for the battery so as long as that is switched prior to leaving it, drainage is not an issue. This car is 90% of they way there, with a little money invested into the engine (sounds like lifters are running out of alignment) and eventual (subjective) sport suspension upgrade, this car will be the ultimate sunday driver. The paint looks pretty good as you can see, some spots have been repainted but it was matched to original color.
I've done some marketing trends with excel forecasting for over the last half decade. I've seen on with 129k sell for 14k six years ago, I've seen a RHD with more miles sell for 12k last summer, and the most exquisite I've seen sold for 16k over a year ago with nearly the same miles. This is 25% the price of an M3 and about 50% of a M5, assuming they aren't beat to shit.
I started this bad b**** up today and she drove great. She really needs someone who will love and appreciate her. PM me for many more pictures or questions - I will send email and google drive links.
Edit 5/25: I've had inquiries about the title. If you do your research online, Japanese titles are typically converted to English by exporter in the form of an Export Certificate. If you were to show up to the DMV with a Japanese document it would be utterly useless. PM me and I can send you the export certificate (title) in Japanese and English. Other documents at request.
In regards to transferring the car/title:
Exempt vehicles-
Vehicles that have a model year of 1999 or older are not titled
New Hampshire does not issue titles for vehicles that have a model year of 1999 or older, except for heavy trucks with three (3) axles or more, or truck tractors whose gross vehicle weight exceeds 18,000 pounds which must always be titled regardless of age. Also, vehicles that are over 25 years of age may only be titled at an owner's request.
If the vehicle is exempt from a title, you will need to provide:
- 1) ABill of SaleANDa completedVerification of Vehicle Identification(Form TDMV 19A). Verification of Vehicle Identiifcation can be completed simply by me bringing it to a registered inspection station so they can confirm the car is what I say it is and check the VIN is real etc...
OR - 2) ABill of SaleANDcopy of the previous registration certificate or title (the export certificate)
- The following can be completed by simply scanning documents.
