he moved to a different province , and since the engine popped he hasnt touched it... I wanted to know a fair price so I can make an fair cash in hand offer.

Canadian prices will be cheaper since the market is full of rhd rx7's. for 7-9k

km's are also a tad high for rhd in canada, mines a 94 at 66,xxx km's.

I would say around $3000 cdn for the shell alone is what is should be worth. 4k tops complete with blown motor.

Aren't there new laws popping up now that are forbidding the registration of RHD cars or something? This would make the car that much cheaper.

Not in most of Canada^
only Ontario and Quebec i believe.
And it would be grandfathered in since its already registered here.

Why point that out when bringing an offer though? Doing that would simply be doing the sellers negotiation for him....

You have to register the car again right? This already eliminates new buyers from Quebec and Ontario. Isn't this law probably going to be more commonplace? This will make the car harder to sell in the future and therefore cheaper to buy now I would think.

From what i have read it limits only new importations, once it has a Canadian VIN it is good to go.
I could be wrong, but this is my understanding of the law.

Once the car is registered in quebec or ontario you can always sell/buy it. No new imports are allowed in those provinces, even if the car was registered in BC. It has nothing to do with JDM Importing into canada, its New JDM out of province vehicle registrations.

Not every province assigns new "canadian vins" either. SK for example still uses the JDM one.

In short: you cant sell your car to a ontario/quebec customer. but who really cares? you still have a decent market to sell to. In fact contact Conrad @ 4kruzn in alberta, he loves buying rhd parts cars and might buy your car in full.

are there any links to these new canadian laws?

could i purchase a rhd shell from out of province to use as a race car?

if the car was registered before 2010 may 29 , then you are all good and you can plate the car however and whenever u want! and also the car mustve been imported in canada before 2009 april i believe, this is for quebec i am talking, i have no idea if its the same law in ontario

thanks snake, i'm going to look further into this non-sense. It's a pity, because all these young guys buy these rhd vehicles, simply because they can, and ruin everything for everyone else.

project, that sounds like a good deal.

Personally, I'd value a rhd fd with a blown motor at 1.5-4 provided everything else is in good shape. If the body is shot, then I would not offer anything lol. Your basically paying for a shell at that point.

i bought a 92 FD R1 RHD with engine working really good, a brand new set of twin turbos and a air pump replacement with everything included, very clean car and very clean paint with 17" oz racing rims.
also a 2nd set of exhaust ( blitz nur spec) and a shitload of goodies lol
