I've had a proper look at recent sales price data now.

prices are all over the place, for a 93+ turbo in grade 4 condition you're going to be paying anywhere from 500,000 jpy to 1,000,000 jpy.

there was a grade 4.5 revision 5 turbo(exceptional condition) with 52,000kms that sold recently for 1,710,000 but that's not the norm.

500,000 would get you a 94/95 car in grade 4 condition with sensible miles, if you were to do the import process yourself

(i.e not pay a middleman in the uk to fill out a few forms and collect it from the port for you) then based on today's exchange rate of 143/£ that would cost you around

£6150 by the time vat, duty, registration fees etc are paid.

to get in on your

£5k budget you wouldn't want to be paying more than 375,000 jpy at auction, that would get you a higher kms

(150000kms-ish) grade 4 1993 car if you were lucky, or a grade 3.5 car more than likely

grade 3.5 cars can be really nice genuine cars that just have age related wear, or can be real shockers.

it's a bit of a minefield.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
obviously if you do use an importer in this country they're going to charge you around
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£500-750+vat for their service, which leaves you even less in the pot to get a nice car over there.
