Something I heard on the radio today was about much higher emission standards coming in for imported cars as from January - will it affect the future import of such classics do you know?. That will efect the late model stuff for sure. There is even talk about the oil burners being hit even harder, so anything pre-2004 won't be able to come in! But I think the twenty year rule will still apply, so the older cars will be fine. Cars like the W210 won't be able to be imported. My E320 lands on Monday Might get a few more to sell as they'll become harder to find next year... | ||

You know they talk about that age of NZ's fleet but stuff like this makes it harder for alot of people to upgrade to newer so what do they do? They keep their even older cars.... | ||

nomad Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: My new 'Black' AMG Monoblocks I'm always looking on 'tradecarview' Here's one with a WALD body kit that I'd love on my car http://www.tradecarview.com/stock/detail.aspx?sid=586694 ...and I'm pretty sure this one is the one I posted above but it's now with a dealer http://www.tradecarview.com/stock/detail.aspx?sid=586696 Japan has thee best selection of these old things that I've ever seen I'm trying to get there by early December, if I can't make it then I'll go in Feb '08 It sucks that I can't take time of in the Summer holidays as were very busy at work at that time of year and being the boss and all, the whole company will collapse without me because I'm such an outstanding manager I'll prob sell the 500 to pay for the trip, my friend is moving to Tokyo at the end of June to make movies so at least I'll have a pad to crash at Then I can look for one of these amazing cars to bring back for myself | ||

We should negotiate something.... I figure the cheap 126 window is a short term opportunity that should be raped and pillaged for what it is. I'm happy to skin and dress the bunnies ready for the cookpot, and polish any Merc you want....how about a house paint?. | ||

Our G Wagon loving friend (who I'm sure is still smiling after his drive) reckons LHD are worth nothing in NZ compared to the same vehicle in RHD... hard for me to say as I have just about always had a LHD car. I personlay think the older a vehicle gets the less it matters what side the wheel is on. In fact when it comes to the Benz it can be an advantage, as many LHD cars have more options. So an '87 560SEL in mint condition should be able to land here for seven with great ease. That would be a mint low milage one with all the fruit. | ||

Till the end of the year you can easily get '94 up 140s into NZ. If it has a TDN number on the de-reg you can bring in 92 or 93 models. Believe it or not '91 W140 can't be bought into NZ because according to our lot it didn't meet frontal impact. WHATEVER.... | ||
