1999 GR Tip

[adrian]

Hi,

Called High Grade imports in Dublin there to check stock. They have a 1999 GR TIP, metallic Gold, 62K KMs on the clock for €17,500 registered.

They have no more coming in till Jan.

That sounds fairly expensive right??? But a nice car to get your hand on.

Expensive is not the word...
If I was spending that money, I'd rather go with the hassle of getting Newera to import a 98 GPvR Aero series and register it myself.

I would imagine that Hi-Grade are just buying directly from the importer just like you and I can do. Would be worth doing some investigative work to see who supplies the bulk of imports to the Irish market.

How can you keep and eye on and check stock in this place. Jeez, if I had a seen that 1999 silver manual GX I would have bought it for sure!?

He told me that they are buying direct from Japan and they have a man on the ground out there. They are based in Dublin Port and he says he has 100 cars coming in next week alone.

Interesting. Do you have an email address for them? I want to do some snooping

I've sent off a couple of emails to Irish importers with regard to their access to 97+ manual GPX's and GPvR's, lets see what comes back.

Heres the GX in question. Found their email address on their site by the way Adrian.

Keep me posted Ciaran, I'd be very interested to know.

By the way, GPvR's are fetching more cash...how much more???

From looking at UK prices, it seems that GPvR's are approx. 20% more expensive than a manual GPX of the same year, the same may or may not be true here. Savvy dealers who know they don't come onto the market all that much will try to squeeze few extra quid out of them I'm sure.
