As some of you might remember, one of my good friends runs an importing company with his brothers. They import cars from japan of every make and model thats 15 years old or older. Any ways, today i went back to my old work where i used to do tires. I needed to get some new rubbers, so i was talking with the owner, really nice guy. Any ways, some how we got onto the topic of cars from japan and importing them. I told him my friend imported cars from japan that are both right and left hand drive *depending on car's manufactutere*. So we started talking and he says to me, "you know, ive been working a hell of alot lately and ive been thinkin of startin to take some time off and buyin my self a nice little car to run around in. Somethin thats nice and quick and reliable, and probably a drop top. Do you think your friend could import me a 500SL??" So i wrote down the specs he wanted, every thing regarding the car and then asked him "well...how much do you wanna spend on one??" so he kinda looks at me for a second and goes "well...i wanna spend about as much as i can for one that i could buy in florida, or a bit less...so im gonna sayy...maybe between...i dunno...$11-18K??"...so i was kinda taken back and said, ok..well ill let my friend know. Sure enough, i call him about 10 min later and he tells me he can import one for around $7.5-9K his cost, but he said if i wanna sell it as my car, i could get a bit more out of it. So Mikey *friend who imports* said, so if i get this car landed, i get my cut, and my money back for the car, you could make about 3-6K on this car. AKA i buy the car from mikey for his cost + about $600, then sell it for another $3-6K ontop. Essentialy take a car that is bought for less than 7K and turn it into a car thats sold for $13K. So in september, im gettin the deposit for the car, bringing one over and by Feb, i should have a quick $3-6K in my pocket. Not bad for just needing to get tires eh?? I seriously wish i could run into more deals like this.
I just needed to tell some one..im kinda excited..lol |
