ADM S15s; shipping from OZ & good places to look

[jp]

As above, has anyone ever shipped a car from Australia to Ireland?

Does anyone on the OZ side of things know of any good sites to look for cars?

I thought of www.nissansilvia.co.nz but that's NZ only is it? Does OZ have an equivalent or is that what www.nissansilvia.com is?

This is a very popular car sale site, most S15's for sale are advertised here There are 257 private vehicles and 17 dealer cars ATM

The trading post is another site you can use.

As for shipping to Ireland. That I am not sure about.

Il probably be shot down for saying this.. but if i was importing a car from OZ, i dont think i could resist the temptation of a V8 Holden!

Why would u want a aus watered down s15 for?

 

[Trial_S15]

The GT version I'm guessing with the gorgeous OEM leather interior....

 

[meddler]

watered down. lol. not really. just mapped differently for our **** fuel

Wouldn't be an issue to Jp, he'd have it remapped and running on E85 in no time :thumbs:

Thanks Auss15 & meddler - I'll check them out. Anyone shipped any cars this way, no?

Same here John only the road-tax would kill me along with the insurance & VRT. Love that sound though! :smitten:

Am I really that predictable?!? :wack:

 

[Trial_S15]

Dependable, not predictable :thumbs:

Hey, if I had the money (and a turbo ) I'd be running on the stuff. I'd also have to move though as there's nowhere that does it close to me, I'd probably have to go all the way into town to get the bloody stuff - and as petrol is currently cheaper at the pump than E85 the likelyhood of it making its way out to me in "the sticks" is small

Just go for a Ute... commercial tax and VRT:thumbs:

John, you are a very VERY bad man!

Something very Ford Focus-esque about the front bumper though...

 

[meddler]

New VE maloo. Plenty of grunt!

 

[Nicely]

Stop showing me photos of the Maloo...

I'll promise to stop if you let me know of any (relatively) cheap ADM 15's you come across out there!

 

[meddler]

what do you call cheap? they are getting a lot cheaper, same as the UK

 

[jp]

Less than AU$20K but preferably less than 15. I've seen one or two ADM's including the ones below that are in that price bracket:

Black Spec-S relatively standard

Blue Spec-S with cruise control

Red Spec-R with tints that I'd remove

Blue Spec-R with leather

The only issue is none have the Aero front bumper so I'd have to source that separately.

Very nice :thumbs: Sunroof too but don't forget to bin those tail lights while you're at it, they really don't suit the red IMO

 

[meddler]

They are all pretty cheap. I would be wary of the 2 cheapest. The price seems way too low.

 

[Auss15]

Yeah I tend to agree with Meddler. Be carefull of cheap ones as the most common reason theyr'e cheap, is they have been heavily moded and thrashed, but have been returned back to stock to sell, with the "stock as"in the for sale add.

That second one looks like its had some backyard mods and those bricks under the back wheels, must be the hand brake:no:
