NOOB looking for advice/information

[president_91]

Hey everyone im a noob :'( here and was looking into VIP. Everyone in my city has the usual Civic, Prelude FC3S RX7 and I was looking to break that trend and start something new. I am a bit short on cash and was looking to import an already used and modified Nissan President/Infiniti Q45. I was wondering if this was a benefit as to building up my own. I know that building up your own gives you better satisfaction but, as i said before, i am strapped for cash.

??? i dont know how people can drive around a car they didnt build . im just against it. after u buy this "modified Nissan President/Infiniti Q45," do you plan to redo the whole car so its totally different from how u bought it? welcome to the forum.

Lucky bastard! Australia changed the rules before presidents were allowed to be imported.

I dont know the registration rules in Canada, but consider this; a wild VIP car will NOT be cheap to get registered. I went through the process of buying a crazy car for a good price, then spent nearly 2 times the expected costs of importing because of shipping issues, compliance issues, then bodywork issues (wild VIP cars tend to have a few cracks etc when you look at the cheaper end of the market).

IF you are just looking at a President with a simple bodykit, rims and coilovers then I dont see why not. You can always change the rims etc later when you have more money

If your in Canada registering it is cake.

The process depends on the province your in.

Here in BC,* take delivery, get out of province inspection, get new VIN issued from ICBC and installed by certified mechanic.* Go buy insurance from any insurance broker.* Enjoy car.
