The market is high for LHD cars, RHD cars are used for parts, and therefore aren't worth as much to them.

They want our RHD cars for parts. They cut them up and stuff as many as they can into a shipping container. Apparently its not allowed for them to convert a car to LHD legally so they will stripped and cut up for parts or possibly use the id of a wrecked LHD car to illegally convert it.

This was the prices they were selling for 6 years ago (this post from 2006). Anybodies guess what they are selling for now.

O.O !!!! :angry:

A good 240k RHD can always go to the UAE, get restored and rego as RHD, converted to LHD, driven to Kuwait and reregistered as LHD. Legally, from what I hear.

A 240K would have to be appalling to get half cut these days, but C210 and 280zx are most likely to get chopped up as spares.


I've never really understood why Japan doesn't import the Australian 240k back to Japan. Maybe their customs/import laws are a dog. Looking at Yahoo auctions Japan a good c110 goes for similar money to the middle east, but I've yet to ever hear of one going 'home'.

They don't sell back to Japan often because of their tight import laws on old cars. Registering an old car in Japan is very expensive (their govt wants rid of the old fleet, not to keep it!)

A 240K coupe in NZ needing resto recently sold for over $10,00 NZ

A 240K sedan sold back to Japan last year for $20,000 NZD however that was mini tubbed and had a full panel and paint.
