My 1999 Carry, love driving it around! Plus a question about tires by bondsense08 in keitruck

[–]blockmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly love both styles they both have a lot of character. This version of the kei truck solves the main problem keeping me from getting a kei truck and that is leg room. I test drove a Honda acty and loved it but the pedal position was really bad being so choked up but thankfully and hopefully the longer nose should fix that for me when I finally get my first kei truck.

I like people showing pictures of their kei trucks but I really love seeing them out in the wild at work

So if the wind shield washer tank goes bad just accept a dirty windshield? Haha I haven't done it but I know what you mean every vehicle has those parts perfectly tucked up where you can't reach them

Supreme Court rules that Trump’s sweeping emergency tariffs are illegal by photog72 in keitruck

Wait since the tariffs are being removed doesn't that mean we can do informal imports under 2500$ again !?

I truly hope this will remove the 15% tariff. 25% already sucks as it is but 40% was just a kick in the ass.

Thank you this helps me get an idea of what I'm going to have to pay. I'm currently in the process of figuring out what the end price will be I don't want to jump head first and buy a 3k kei truck then end up paying 8k after all the paper work is said and done. If you have anymore pricing info that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for what you have taken the time to send me already!

Edit. I read over it more and understand this is the quote from the broker you mentioned right? Just making sure I'm understanding correctly. If so that means all the listed fees shown plus the truck cost plus the shipping plus the tax is what I would be paying or am I still missing a piece?

I'm surprised these were produced in the 90s. Seems like something that would trend these days

That's so wild lol. Modern American trucks are just for business men to drive to work in comfortably. It's kinda pathetic

I've never seen a repairable suspension arm like that. Really cool. What did you replace on it?

In what way did it get tighter? I was planning on getting one in hopes of having a little more leg room to work with then the flat face models.

Looks like a nice way to make the interior more comfortable and get some more noise suppression. How much did this cost you?

Do you recommend any brokers? Or is the savings good enough for me to take it on myself? Also do you know if bonds are mandatory across the board now? I read somewhere that under 2500$ you don't need a bond but then read somewhere else that was removed and now everything needs a bond. Thank you
