Is tradecarview.com aka usedjdm.com legit?

[musclehunter34]

Ive been talking to this guy from tradecarview.com aka usedjdm.com for a few days now and he assures me that this stuff is legit and i think i believe him. Just wanted to ask the forum if anyone heard any bad things about them or if they are truly awsome. He says he can legalize it for street use in the US and his cars are a 100% legit. please help me with knowledge!(need to know soon im about to buy an R-34 skyline from him)

You really need to search through the stickies in the Skyline forum.

This guy will tell you anything to sell you a car.

If he says he can get it 100% legal to drive on the street, he's full of it.There is no way to get them federally legal at the moment. Best bet is to find an old MotorEx car.

There is a big crackdown on Skyline owners at the moment. I wouldn't want to get involved in that issue if it were me.

UsedJDM will cause you nothing but headaches. I know several guys that bought a car through UsedJDM and they are still having issues with the titles. Problem after problem. Best to stay clear. You may get a car but the papers for it you won't and you'll be stuck with a useless car

they apparently give a signed contract with the car, so technically if they screw me over i can sue them for false advertising/information. and i know they can't be federally legal but they can be state legal correct? which means i can still drive the car around state side.

I'm sorry i wasted your time. just read up on your importing skylines article, being the giant fanboy that I am, I found this information to be heart crushing. However at least I won't be going through the hassle of trying to import a skyline. Looks like I'm moving to Japan...

It doesn't matter what they give you or say they are going to, it's a scam. Like I said, I know several people who have been there done that already.

OK...before you move to Japan, make sure you have one or more of the following on a checklist.

1. College degree which you can use to get a company to sponsor you for a minimum of 1 year of working for that company only.

2. You are in the military and you can get orders to one of the many bases on the mainland or on Okinawa. But as far as I know, you have to be E-5 or above or a married E-3 and up to get a license.

3. You become a college student at a school that has a program that allows you to come to Japan to study.

4. You find/marry a Japanese woman that wants to live in Japan and that will support your addiction to cars.

If you don't have at least one of the following, you aren't "moving" over here. Sorry to be blunt, but many people don't know how hard it is to move here, let alone the cost of owning a car and living here.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately my Asian girlfriend is half jap. half Thai and is not a citizen of japan. But my college does have an over seas program, I will look into that.

No time really wasted however had you done this in the beginning... As everyone has said Car Salesmen will tell you anything to seperate you from your cash. I do applaud you for reading though countless others have been told and didn't read.

You can visit just about any country but staying there is a lot different.

I read this and was somewhat intrigued to know you will actually get a car. I have been looking for a track only(trailered to everywhere) car for about 3 years now. If you actually get the car from these people I don't care about a title or making it street legal. I guess my question is will I actually get a car? It's not so important because I have an FD track car at the moment, but some day might move to a different platform like an s15. Thanks

^ Never mind, just saw the thread on this guy. The guy sounds like just a plain old thief.
