Can't go wrong with either, but if you need to store it until next year then I would go with Brave Auto. | Pacific Coast JDM & JPC Trade Fraud Review Complaint - Page 19 - JDMVIP Forums JDM Japanese Cars Import Used Auctions  wtf is this whole fraud thing with Pacific Coast JDM .

Are JDM cars eligible for Collector's? | Yes, but ICBC doesn't care about trim level so it has to be 25 years old IIRC. The only way they can be newer is if there were only x number of that model produced.

yeah it does specify model but something tesll me that's not a strict rule they always go by 100% of the time
the cut off is 1500 for a specific MY worldwide...too bad yours is just a bit over
if you have a limited production car that's clean title and stock...doesnt hurt to apply

Fraud accusations ensued. Thats what I drew from it anyways. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I've had a decent experience with him on the buying part, so far the shipping has taken forever but that's not in his hands, thats the fault of the boats being overbooked.

Bump...
There are a handful of classified ads for R34 GT-Rs already, but I'm skeptical of their veracity; especially when I haven't even seen a landed one driving around.
Someone local is asking $52K...I think they added a "Paul Walker Premium" on top.
