Anyone know anything about this FD2? I'm a bit interested.

It's not been undersealed. Is that bad at this mileage? Would it be ok if it was done now + what is approx cost?

Am I better waiting a while longer for more bargains to come along? Or is the £ crashing against the yen going to scupper them?

undersealing is only done when the car is brought to the UK so I wouldnt worry too much about it not being done. you can easily get it done yourself

£ / yen not looking that great recently, although depreciation will always apply.

Looks like a nice car why wait!!

It's only just started getting to the point where undersealing will be an issue, so if it was done as soon as you bought it then no problem.

Prices are definitely starting to go back up, so now would be a good time to jump.

Don't think it belonged to anyone on the FD2 forum, not had any posts about a blue one being sold lately.

If the car checks out as being legit then it seems a good buy at that price.

That's stunning and a bargain too :shock: . They're coming down in price all the time and I wouldn't be surprised if they took less than £15,000 for cash

Wow it's the 240bhp version

 

[anticlaus105]

Wow. Seems I may be better off waiting a bit longer.

My original plan was to Px teg and part with 10k for an FD2. At this rate I will be parting with 10k and get to keep both.

:shock:

While there are cars bought and paid for at 200Yen/£, the prices will be low as the traders want to shift something - anything at this time.

Once they're gone, any fresh stock won't be so favourably priced due to the current exchange rate.

The key will be getting the best of the former, without falling into the latter category. Get it right, and you'll snatch a bargain.

Won't existing Jap imported cars go up in price too due to £ vs Yen?

I used to own a STi Spec C & their values seem to be creeping up despite the doom & gloom of the car market today.

TX.

Anything already paid for before the recession will have been bought at a better Yen/£ rate than any fresh stock, therefore the trader/seller will have got the car cheaper than they could get any stock. Hence the price of current UK stock will be lower and also due to the recession and the slow car market people will sell for less money, especially on cash deals.
