Hello, I'm new to the forum! :D

My name's Daniel, and i'm from theminiforum.co.uk and a-serious.com ;)

I'm really interested in selling my track car and buying an ERA Turbo, the question is, what sort of money do reasonably sound ERAs go for, and how often do they come up?

Cheers,
Daniel :mrgreen:

dont often come up for sale, below six grand would be car which has MOT but needs some work to bring up to standard, 6-8 decent solid cars, 8 to 12 very tidy original cars, over that for exceptional ultra low mileage cars...

25 k for a as new car..

Some modified ones about price on those is down to personal taste, I think the original ones will be worth the money long term.

Cheers for the info Paul ;)

So, would you know what the best places for me to look for an ERA, i know there's ebay, autotrader e.t.c. but as you say, they don't come up often.

Importing cars from Japan is my business, like most that pop up in Japan the red one has been b*st*ised wheels have gone grill mirrors steering wheel and god knows what else, probably boot interior, leather looks rough on drivers seat and thats not even where they wear out, presented in very dusty condition would suggest isnt running or not running well, no mention of shaken, which is the very tight Japanese MOT. Looking at thier asking price of about 10,000 dollars US it would be 5000 pounds then plus freight and shipping and taxes would be 7000 ish unregistered and unroad worthy in UK add another 1000 to get it near right at a minimum, if you can find the missing parts in the UK. Then register and all in all it would be 9000 looking mint subject to getting parts.

Then is it an ERA or not, looks about right, but a sunroof on a Japanese one?? sunroof was deleted on Japanese spec cars, so perhaps a UK one?? Japanised? A/C is right inside and placement of the EXH light for the CAT is right for a Japanese one.

No mention of auction grade or anything about it.

Personally I would be very wary.
