well I can't read any of that... but from the car-o-gram I am thinking bodywork?

 

where in the front left panel? Thanks for that info, i have never read one of these before, and it being in Japanese dosen't help haha. So any one else translate this for me?

 

looks like the car was imported?

Youve got 55XX6 Kilometers on the car.
The VIN is FD#S- 101898
Its got Power steering power windows and A/C and uses gasoline.

There is a ton of Kanji there I cant make out.

It seems like a simple information form, something that probably part of procedure for a shipment over to this side of the pond. It looks to label out some problems with the car in the car-o-gram.

 

yea, it had a fender bender front left QP. Thats all fixed now though, and has a new pearl white paint job on it. Does it look as if the Car-o-gram states this, i can see something about the front left quarter panel, but thats all i can make out. So any more info would be awesome, and thanks allot CrazyAZN.

And yes its being imported from Japan as we speak.

So any more info on this would be AWESOME! thanks!

aftermarket steering wheel and rear wing/spoiler. Front crossmember is damaged. it does say more but the quality of that pic and or the poor penmanship of the writer does not help things.
That car for the most part is completely stock and has some body and other damage. might want to keep looking if you havent already paid for it.

 

1st registered april 1992, engine size 650cc x 2, pearl white paint, 5 speed floor shift, rear spoiler?

ok, so the guy im buying it off said it was all repaired though, and had an inspection and cleared it. I know the "R" in the top right hand corner means repaired. Cause it has no body damage anymore. SO like the damaged crossmember, that should be fixed. Does it say it is fixed or not?

 

please any more info? he said its all repaired, thats what the "R" stands for in the top right hand corner. Is there anyway of confirming this? I may put a deposit on it by thursday,, he told me its all repaired and inspected, so i thiunk im good to go hey? or no?

 

The car is a B grade car which is not all that bad and the R does stand for repaired. If the crossmember was still damaged it would probably have two XX's where the front crossmember would be on the picture. The damage on the picture still exists I believe.
I am not sure what the "UI" means but it could be rust or small dents. Most likely dents.
Have you been able to see more than just the auction sheet? If you have seen pics of it have you seen more than just the auction pics?

 

Yea iven seen pictures of the car, from the outside it look very nice, theres a paint chip in the front, and thats about all the body damage. The engine is clean, and also the engine bay is red, so he must have painted it.

So the front cross member damage still exsists?

and class B does that mean like shape of the car?

So judging by the Car-o-gram, you think its a good buy or no? im going to check it out myself when it gets here. But what are some precautions i should take, as it was in a accident, not a bad one but still. Should i get it inspected before i buy it even though they said there going to inspect it for me?

And any more helpful info would be great! thanks so much Circuit! and everyone else so far!

if they said the crossmember has been repaired then it most likely has.

If they are just inspecting these cars at auction then they are very limited as to what they can inspect. They can check the tranny by just rolling forward and back in all the gears. They can pop the hood and inspect fluids and look for damage or rust but they cant do compression checks. Same goes for the rest of the car it is just a visual inspection at the auctions. Now if they have an actual yard and they will be buying the car and then recieving it at their yard here in japan then they can do a thorough inspection but more often than not these guys do not have yards here in Japan and they send them straight from the auction to the ports to be shipped out. You could ask him more about the inspections they do and ask to see pics of their facilities so that you can be certain they have the proper tools it takes to do a full inspection.

I might sound like you have to be super careful or precautious about the sellers here but I want to make it clear that, that is not really the case. However the more information you have before buying the car the better and safer it is for you. I think Eric E mentioned before that if you start asking to many questions they may just start ignoring you and sell the car to someone else that is easier to deal with. So if you are going to be asking questions keep them to a minimum and make sure they are the important questions.

Once again good luck

 

Ah ok thats awesome, thx so much, He said it got compression checks and boost checks like a full inspection and it was 100%. AND hes going to get it inspected in BC Canada also. SO tomorrow im going to send in my Deposit for the FD, thanks so much, thanks toy ou guys, you made me ask the proper questions and all that!. SO sending in my 500 buk deposit tomorrow, and going to BC in 6 weeks to check it out and take er home!

thanks again guys!

heres the car:

 

Just got mine too it was a 4.5 out of 5 rating!

 

just got your inspection or your car!?

 

probably too late but here is what the paper says....

 

ah awesome, so all this has been repaird though correct?

 

sorry dude. it does not actually say that THOSE damages have been repaired.
if your guys in Japan said they have been, maybe so.
i guess that's the chance you have to take when you are buying things from where you can't see/check the item in person.
good luck with this.

 

ok , thx, he said its all been fixed, compression tested and boost tested and all 100% ill put a 500 deposit on it, check it out, then i can get the deposit back if theres something wrong with the car, so meh.

Thanks again for all your guys' help!
