I still think that there is no way in hell the SpecR will fetch over $60k. It just simply isn't in the same league as the other cars that fetch more.
This guy has a history of lying, and most social media personalities loudly broadcast sale prices to simply drive the market up. I had two SpecRs. I sold one for a small profit and the one I have now is valued at double what I paid for it...but I do not think for one second I will see $60k for it.

If you can't read the words 'supposedly' and then the part where I said there's 'no way in hell' that it sold for that...well then maybe you just wanted to get your blood pumping on Zilvia. The point here is that this cunt is PURPOSELY being misleading. Now, to what end? Who knows. With that recent batch of blacklisted cars it would be pretty ballsy to keep publicly posting other illegal cars AND try to push these false values, but people keep following these pages and handing over their money. Everything wrong with the world today is people not possessing even the most basic levels of reading comprehension.

My point is you take the bait by repeating what they put out in the ether and people will see it and believe it. You don?t believe it but too many people do.
I agree the amount of purposefully misleading people in this rhd car circle jerk is astronomical. It?s like an off brand bring a trailer. Defining a car by its price like ?the $70k S15? like they do is incredibly cringeworthy. Who does that. It?s truly like they?re gaslighting the entire market. |

It's not taking bait. This screenshot that I uploaded via imgur in no way plays into his algorithm or gets him any further traction. Even though I'd like to believe people will read this, we're off the grid on Zilvia.

I've mentioned it before, but I don't see any way these businesses are sustainable. How will they still be around in 5 years?
I also don't know the seller of the S15 you posted, but judging by the scenery, they're part of the Connecticut clan. |

This dude (based of what I've been told) is a broker for mainly illegal car sales.

Toprank seems to pass the sniff test.
I base this off absolutely nothing other than a few videos I?ve seen and articles I?ve read, but he appears to be transparent. He does seem to have access to the nicer cars available. Some of the other guys I would know not to trust them after a 30 second conversation. |

Toprank is no better than any of the others. They sold an AH3 BNR32 to a service member stationed overseas a couple years ago. He had a shop in Washington (U.P. Garage) go through the car and do a post-purchase inspection. They discovered it had been t-boned at one point, like baaaad. Really bad. It had been 'fixed', but the damage was still noticeably quite extensive. The poor dude paid a premium for it, and there was no mention of any accident history, and it was marketed as a low-mileage clean example. I don't think there's anyway Toprank didn't know. That, and Sean Morris seems to have a massive ego and thinks he's gods gift to the Skyline community. Just my armchair internet opinion.

The military reference I made was because I assumed he was doing business near a US base. Shitting where he eats, if you will. |

They treated him like total crap once the check was in their hands and took advantage of him being military and having to work with them remotely.

You'd be surprised and sickened at the way veterans out here prey on young base dudes' wallets. They come here, marry a Japanese person, then they stay here while reaping the benefits of having base access and ripping people off. Don't get me wrong, it's a testament to how stupid our fucking Navy is...but the fact that these cats aren't barred from base blows my mind. There is a local seller in Yokosuka that has a 'dealership' called West Club. I looked at a BL0 R32 when I first came to Japan. Seemed nice, and I wanted to buy it but my car friends helped me dodge that bullet. Anyway, the owner's name is Lonnie and there is QUITE LITERALLY a Facebook page called 'I Got Screwed Over By Lonnie' and the guy STILL manages to sell cars to unsuspecting people. Go Navy.

Also, Whitey13 and I can debate shit without neg-rep'ing each other, but apparently someone got offended: You're always getting butthurt over nothing Sounds like someone got butthurt. If you actually read, you can see that our 'harsh language' was not taken personally. People neg-rep'ing on this thread bought cars from a shitty importer. Gotta be.

Did he pay under market value? I couldn't watch the whole thing. In addition to all the red flags in the seller video, if your prices is too good to be true... Last edited by Whitey13; 04-19-2022 at 01:09 PM.. Reason: typo |

I was looking into buying a Silvia, but it looks like these guys are not worth the trip down. It looks like they had/have some solid inventory.
Thanks for posting, I have dodged a bullet. I'll keep my shitbox army. |

just stumbled upon this video from 2020 and though I would post it here. Top rank imports in cali, video is really entertaining and those guys, at least in '20, seemed to have a good inventory. No idea who they are thou.
His other videos are pretty entertaining too, he keeps the stupid music to a minimum and I like that. He made a video of that yellow rb26 z31 of our own member here, that car is clean AF! Anyway: https://youtu.be/UUm9x-OVYHo
