altezza RS200

main differences between the altezza rs200 and the is300 model is that its right hand drive, 3s-ge under the hood(instead of the 2jz-ge), sidemarkers, jdm grille, and foglamps...for some reason the is300 model does not have foglamps :?

I think this is my favorite,

I collect Avation photos and documents, test pilots, test planes, signed photos and signed artifacts, so planes and stuff, my walls are full...no die cast though, no room

cool find cj! definately helpful thanks! :mrgreen:

i used to have a decent aviation collection but its dwindled greatly

the only piece i still have is an original 1977 Revel Goodyear blimp model and a ticket from when i got to ride it(goodyear) back in april of 1991...geez i was 12 years old!

the model still works and everything...its an awsome piece

i got my altezza hehe its pretty sweet i love it!

still waiting on the altis tho

Hey count me in....below is a idea, from another post that I wrote in on here, it is regarding Altis rear tail light that would be more suspect than a model car, as it would be a larger package and more $$$ customs would look at it more than a model car, this could be a "gift" shipment, also tariff on a $29 model car would only be $2-3 or so, so no big deal, the taillights on the other post would be more scrutinized...I think the best way would be post office, sent directly to the buyer...see below...

You may be able to do a group buy...

Put out a announcement, make a cut off date and time, and all funds go to your paypal account, before the cut off time, anyone who misses the time would have to wait until the next buy, maybe 2 weeks or 1 month, dont do this too much as you will draw attention from customs.
You withdraw the funds, and send the funds; you would have confirmed money before the order is placed,
Everyone would know up front an estimated time for shipping, again an estimated, and the price,
You as the seller would have all funds ahead of time so you could not get burned,

You would have a record of the buyers addresses via PayPal, and you could email all this to your friends in Taiwan, they could drop ship the part directly to the buyer...probably a best chance to get through customs with out going over the $$ limit and no duty would be owed,

Or if you send all the units to you, you can control domestic shipping, but run the risk of paying tariff on a bulk large order...

also for the domestic shipping, do not use Priority mail, they "suggest" a 3-4 day delivery, but don’t guarantee anything, if it goes 30 days, they say no problem , I said hey 30 days that is lost in space, they said no tracking no loss....

IMHO...my 2 cents...

RSVP

sweet i won!

I want one...where should I send the $$$$ ??

congrats, I would have bid but I knew it was you so I held back, if you see another please pss it on, and or another buy..but way congrats... 8)

i'll definately keep an eye out for more and give you guys a heads up

i got it for 63 bucks...i honestly think its a bargain...its a rare piece and will have a nice spot in my collection

you are right, I think you did good, again I would have went higher, not saying I would have won or anything, but I did leave it alone because I knew it was a real collector, and beside the IS200 we both got, I do not realy collect cars,

hey speaking of the IS 200 we both bought, we live in the same general area, and I ordered maybe a 1/2 a hour after you, but have yet to get it, you got yours Fri or Sat??

it came on friday...i don't see why you haven't received it tho...u should get it soon

Hi I am new but wanted to join in, I looked all over this site and emailed the guy never got answer never seen a Altis, dont doubt your word but do you have any other info on this?

well I did get a email back, not the one I wanted...

I don't know of any sources for them, sorry.

Dear Charles

I just received the money.
I'll give you the newest information for getting car, packing, shipping and the tracing number daily.

The Toyota Corolla Altis is US58 , shipping is about US20, it's refer to where are your country?
And Altis have red & silver colors.
The exterior's quality is the same as other cars, but the interior quality is not as good as Mazda 6 or Mitsubishi Savrin or Ford Metrostar.

Just for your referance.

By the way, just 10 minutes later, another one ask me to sell my altis to him.
Can you tell me USA have Corolla Altis? what is the car name? why every one love it?
Nobody love Mazda 6?

Best regards
Brian Su

seems like a good guy, his Ebay feedback was spotty, Ebay name: parfum2tw
I guess I will have to trust him, I am paying $58 plus $20 for postage, but if we get a group buy I am trying to work a discount...I will report back when I get it...

true, but lets see how it works out, I will be the group experiment, any word from your guy?
