Mancey (sp?) is always buying auction cars, maybe hit him up, I've never dealt with him as he refuses to ship, but he comes across some nice parts and cars.

Oh right, I forgot about him. I will definitely give he a PM. Thanks for that.




EDIT: Looking through my PMs he didn't answer the last one I sent him. Is he still on S2KI?

I'll just have to wait it out.

That always confused me. Yes we do have the 15 year rule, but then why were people allowed to import EVO 9 and 3rd gen mr2s before the 15 year rule?

Is there a dealer or service that can search auctions for me and let me know when the car pops up somewhere?
You got a PM.

Premium Cars Wholesale in Newmarket can arrange to import a car for you. I know they were willing to do it for me with an S2K from California, but their prices were just too high and I ended up finding a car locally.

Fancy OEM suspension.
Was it the AcuraZine forums? I had bad luck this time around. So few of these for sale that I didn't have anything else to choose from when I bought my RL because I wanted black on black. Then a few weeks later that 05 Aspec shows up... I wanted to skip 05 from the issues I had heard about but for the Aspec model I would have probably gotten that one if it was in good shape. Timing belt probably needs to be done though, as it is 160,000km or 7 years, and that is $1500 right there.

Hopefully for him it was a good one. Aspec is ultra rare. I hear the suspension is much more harsh, which is kind of at odds with a luxury car. The body kit looks pretty good but I'm trying to source a Mugen one from Japan, that is if I keep the car. It's pretty thirsty...

Here is a pic of the mugen kit

You can buy his, its for sale again. It's the old flipperoo. He wants $15,000 USD. Can't say I blame him since they still go for around that in the US. This is one of those cars that held its value there but not here.
