Buying a clip, What would you do in this situation? Options

[Yota]

I've been talking to a guy from JARCOINC.com about a clip. I'm interested in purchasing it, however, the clip isn't in the United States yet and it won't be for a couple more weeks. should I wait until the clip arrives in the states before I pay for it, or should I buy it now?

My friend bought a skyline clip from a different importer a year ago. It hadn't gotten to the states before he bought it. So after he paid for it, he waited and waited for the clip to arrive. The importer supposedly lost the clip and filed for bankruptcy.. leaving my friend with out a motor and out all the money he spent..

After witnessing what happened to him, I'm leary about buying a clip that I won't get for ATLEAST a month... What would you guys do?

i wouldnt rush into it...when i was shopping for my 3s, i also talked to jarco. they sent me a pic of a ****ty looking 3rd gen 3s that they wanted me to buy. the thing looked like it would never run. i ended up going with smaller importer that deals on ebay. i got a good price, my clip came with everything (interrior, hood, awd, etc) and best of all, i have proof of milage and my motor runs good.

dont rush to give jarco your money....they could have problems importing the clip and then you may have problems getting your money back....or maby youll find a better deal during that time and want to buy it.
