Newbie Question

I hate newbies on other forums, I know how it feels ... just try to help me out guys, I don't mean to be an idiot, really. LoL

I live on the eastcoast of Canada in Nova Scotia ... and I am looking to import a 1989 Skyline GTS-T or GTR ... I have quite accurate and excellent knowledge with so many other cars, but with the Skyline, it isin't an activly talked about car other then, everyone would love to have one.

First question ... well ... will the bank give me money for a car that is so old and maybe not recognized in Canada, or will this need to be a cash thing ?? $$$ ... even with excellent credit and income? ... also what is the average asking price for a 1989 / 1990 SKyline ?? Which company will actually import the car right to some waterfront in Canada, and after the inital purchase price, how much do I expect to pay in taxes, shipping fee's etc.

Insurance on a Skyline on Canadian soil ... interesting, do they even recognise the car, and how much am I looking to pay on a 25 year old male driver ?

Thanks so much for your time,

Cheers,
Zach.

Being in the UK I cant give you specific info for Canada,tho in UK all skylines are insurance group 20 so VERY expensive for a 25yr old.
Here are some Good skyline site that may help.

www.gtr.co.uk
www.importedvehicles.co.uk
www.skylineowners.com

Hope you get the info you need

alrite im canadian aswell i live in ontario and im looking to import a 1989 skyline aswell... i found out that in japan they have 1989 skylines for about 4000$ canadian, manual, with turbo. alot of people told me that i would have to change alot of things on the car to make it legal to drive in canada. i checked that today and i found out that thats not true it is fine in canada if it was made after august 1989. but if it is made befor that then it would be considered a classic car... i dont know if the back would give you the money... im only 17 so i dont know anything about that, but i would pay cash i would pay abpit 6000 a year on insurance... again im only 17 but i have a perfect driving record but i only have my g2... if you have ne more questions just ask i found alot out about importing skylines into canada so... i might be able to help you

I hope that car's still for sale...it's already in Canada and legalized, which saves you a lot of trouble. Hopefully this helps.
