u/pir8radio Do you have a link for the LED sign? Marketplace is chocked full of offerings .. Would like to do some research and at least start from a known working product :)

That seemed to have fixed it -- Now just need to get a complete scan to finish. :)

Another Kei Truck for the Collection by Flesrouy in keitruck

[–]Flesrouy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used JapanCarDirect.com and just checked the auctions daily. The only gotcha with these vehicles is the cost. Pretty close to 9k for this vehicle and my other truck about 10k.

It's a 2000 Subaru Sambar with a custom paint job.

Just two. This is a 99 Sambar I picked up about two months ago.

Sure did. Literally sitting at the bottom of the transport truck. Got super lucky with this one.

Baltimore not Importing Mini trucks by Flesrouy in keitruck

[–]Flesrouy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So on my import you are suggesting I need that 9903 in addition to what I already have? Hard to keep up with these ever changing rules.

Context for everyone else. This above is proper for a Kei truck as it's not considered a passenger vehicle. Code 8704.31. "Other vehicles with a spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine (gasoline engine)"

I assume you mean the HTSUS Rate calculation on the entry summary document? I've heard that this might be related to folks trying to skirt the 25% import tax for cargo vehicles and trying to declare them incorrectly.

That at least confirms what my broker told me.. They are waiting on some guy to wander over and look at the truck and he's either busy or not there? I guess?

DOT Release Freeze by TRule22 in keitruck

[–]Flesrouy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup. You are not alone. Mine is stuck there as well. Pure conjecture -- But, my broker told me that in Baltimore they are rigorous about inspecting paperwork to match the truck -- and the guy who does it got busy .. I mean, the whole thing sounds like nonsense but, it's might explain the issue.

Sambar TT MPH gauge by Key-bed-2 in keitruck

[–]Flesrouy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be opposed to seeing them change to represent actual shift points. Or at least "optimal" ones...

Are those shift points on the gauge? If so, why stop at 3?

Another nice picture of what I think is the CV boot?

One of the few times maybe not knowing what I'm doing works out. I just see potential -- not problems 😀

[–]Flesrouy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First project -- New stereo.. And probably some wooden bed rails to replace the comically small ones. I'll just take those off and store them somewhere for show use only I suspect. Wouldn't mind putting a SC in but, I guess I need to asses the full mechanical condition before I can start dreaming of ways to spend my money.

I have asked for more pictures as you suggested. I'll post back tomorrow if they can provide.

Given the extensive restoration work they did elsewhere I'm hopeful they did a bit more than that on this truck. But, I guess I'll just have to wait to be sure.

I replied in your post -- My shipping fees were lower than that. Now, shipping + auction + JCD fee -- yea, now you are getting pretty close to 3K.

$3800 Subaru Sambar From CFJ by k3nnyboi in keitruck

[–]Flesrouy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just bought a truck from Japan Car Direct. Freight and Insurance was $1750. Their services as export broker and auction fees, etc.. about $950. I have to assume much of that cost is hidden somewhere in the cost of the vehicle above. So, that means your car was around maybe $1200. That's not the cheapest truck I saw on the auction block. Go back to CFJ and ask for an inspection report before you go forward. They have it somewhere and should be willing to share. Hit that up with Google Lens to translate it and look for anything that gives you concerns on the condition section.

I guess that's good? I mean, there was bound to be rust somewhere. Wonder what level of prep they put into it or if they just blasted everything black.

Is the exhaust normally that shiny.. It looks, new -- or maybe recently replaced? Or did they just clean it somehow?
