I ask as I'm importing a car as well and there's a fair bit of uncertainty - different importers seem to give different answers!October 16th, 2025 at 10:20pm ESTMegatron991 (3) 0Wow what a steal!!!! I wish I had jumped on when I got the auction warning but I was too busy at work! Congrats to the buyer! October 16th, 2025 at 9:10pm ESTGoBoGo (102) 0@GodFather figured such. Beautiful products, thanks for sharing this one as well!October 16th, 2025 at 9:05pm ESTGodFather (24) Seller 1@GoBoGo yup, I am surprised myself, I did have a lower reserve but wasn’t expecting the price to really be that low. I hope it gets taken care of! Prices for wheels really depend on size, style and finish. For a setup like the one on this SEC, you’d be looking around $5000October 16th, 2025 at 6:11pm ESTsajid3537 (1) 1What just sold for 40k . I thought it will go for 100k . That’s shocked October 16th, 2025 at 5:53pm ESTbigchachu (4) 1Just...wow. I logged off thinking this would go for $80K or so. That's a great deal!October 16th, 2025 at 5:12pm ESTGoBoGo (102) 0@GodFather This was a beauty; shocked at the price!

I took the car out for the last time today and wanted to do a walk-around video when I arrived home. I wanted to show some of the small “imperfections” I mentioned in the description, so please do check out the video. I also included a clip of me starting up the vehicle (from a hot start). As mentioned before, sometimes it takes a slightly longer crank (6–8 seconds), other times it fires up instantly like this time. Not sure why, but it’s always consistent in running perfectly once started. The vehicle will be going to the shop soon for a few final touch-ups to get it as perfect as possible for the new owner! Just a couple of minor details inside and out that I wanted to make even better. Don’t get me wrong, this car is an absolute beauty. If I could improve one thing, it would simply be taking the paint job that extra step closer to perfection. The finish still looks fantastic overall, I’m just a perfectionist, and the tiniest details stand out to me. In the video, I highlighted what I mean; minor dust specks and a bit of what’s called “tigering” in certain light. It’s easily 98% there. ^which is why it’s getting touched up and get it the best I can! @clayman clear photos are uploaded, plz go have a look.

Otherwise its my handle at gmailOctober 15th, 2025 at 2:54pm ESTbigchachu (4) 1@SwissBliss Thanks for the note and, to clarify, I was in no way commenting on the seller's auction. My numbers are fine + validated (I'm doing a Koenig widebody build myself), but I understand how you're approaching $200K (you neglected to mention the big one, M120 from Gooichi, in the original post). I'm close to having everything done (all professionally installed but w/o the M120, manual swap, and audio upgrades) and am coming in right at $95K. @GodFather - thanks for following-up on the tariff question. Glad to hear it's just the 2.5%!October 15th, 2025 at 2:33pm ESTSwissBliss (40) 0@bigchachu Good question. Take a look at your estimates, even those 4 items put you at 65k out the gate, not including car. Keep in mind prices are always subject to change, especially in todays inflationary environment (buy Bitcoin) - and in my case, everything professionally done, if you have a shop/are in the industry and/or do the work yourself, you can save significantly. A huge difference at the end of the day if you are paying retail for all parts and labor, in my case, doing all R&D in house. So...how do you get to 200k, done right, and how am I (and others, to likely include Amrit / @seller) about halfway there? 140k mile 1989 Gen 2 SEC from BaT -
