how many km does your "jdm" car have?

Just wondering for those of you out there with right hand drive vehicles how many kilometers does your vehicle have and how does it seem mechanically, what problems have you ran into? I'm just a paranoid buyer i guess. But any info will be gratefully appreciated! thanks everyone.

66,xxx kms on it when I got it, 70,xxx kms now.
Nothing wrong at all. No problems what so ever.
I changed the timeing belt becasue belts generally wear and crack based on time, and since it was the original one from 15 years ago, it was pasted gue in my opinion, although many people just use their existing one...

Jared's skyline had alot of kms on it for a RHD car, but look at it, great shape body wise, and you've ridden in it, its fast as fuck for being pretty much stock.
You've just got be make intelligent decisions.

I mean, you want to get the BEST POSSIBLE car for the amount of money you are willing to spend. But jsut becasue it has lower kms on it, doesn't mean it is better. I would rather have a car with 100,000kms on it, and the body be in perfect condition, than have a car with 40,000kms and have a rust hole in the floor or rusty quarter pannels. Be smart when you go to look at it, think with your head, and not with your heart so to speak, aslong as you don;t get caught up in the "owning an awesome new RHD car" state of mind, you'll come out fine in the end I think.
You're not a stupid kid, you'll make a good choice.

My car has just experienced your regular rotary issues... ..lol.

As far as everything else, it's been perfect. Hardly any rattles and the body seems strong as hell, although the history of my car has been a very light one. Last owner hardly did anything with it and it wasn't driven hard, I think that's the most important. I know it would be tough to know the history of the car, but it just comes down to buyer beware..

My car has 260 000kms and the speedo cable is broke so it has even more than that. But its been rebuilt, and no problems!

im rollin at 180000 i think had 160000 when i bought it

silvia
89,000kms when bought it
had like 98,690 when blew up

evo 100,560 when purchased

-power steering pump
-cracked cylinder head

mines sitting at 70k and ive have to put in a new thermostat.

thanks guys

taylor. remember, these vehicles are older, and low kms. What degrades over time? Rubber. the most issues you are going to have are seals and gaskets because the rubber gets hard and doesnt do its job anymore.

last time i went home i realized that my family's car had 700xxxkm on it... i thought 300xx was regular for an 82

When I picked mine up, I just looked under and looked at bushings made sure control arms looked good, did a compression test pulled off bov and felt for oil basically be as anal as possible.

body wise its mint. car pretty much looks like it rolled of the show room
