I am buying an old car… a Nissan Datsun 303
this typical country side small berline car
for fun mostly, because I don’t need it
to practice mechanics and renovate that beast
The original price is very cheap. No problem
Please confirm the extra fees the owner is asking for:
license fee = 1500 NT
current tax = 8000 NT
insurance = 1500 NT
car registration fee = 1500 NT
help to fix the car / make it road legal and fit just enough for the first trip = 1500 NT
Normally the mentioned fees are up to final negotiation.
In my case, they were always paid by the seller in most cases, just recently we ended up sharing them.
The value also depends how long each of them are still valid.
Finally, you know that these cars older than 10 yrs need a half year check, right?
Passing the check can be bought-off by the seller though, which then might bite you for the next check done by you at an other station.
When I bought my 28 yr old XJ-S from a rather shady dealer, we had the check done at my usual place, after passing we transferred the car to my name.

At first I was looking for the station wagon
If you are interested, this station wagon is for sale: 50 K
The owner is an expert in Datsun and the admi of a FB Group
The car is roal legal and ready to drive
Anyway, I recommend you look for and join the following FB groups
台灣達特桑.速利聚樂部(T.D.S.C.)…
裕隆速利老車好好玩 303 翻新 零件 301 302 好馬747 青鳥 萬利 老車交流論壇
there are 2 more, but for some reasons… I can not find them right now
Datsun 240Z race version? You can ask Santa… only he knows
but there is a Datsun 260Z right now!!.. quick quick… warm up your credit card! 720K
Datsun 120Y… I don’t know
My boy was just quicker than me at the go-karting track today
Yeah, I was slowing down and waiting for him… These excuses doesn’t work anymore
So I changed my mind. He doesn’t need a Datsun Nissan Yunlong 3-zero-something
I give him the budget to build his own trail kart.
So if there are some mechanics on the forum and in central Taiwan, please use private message to contact me. He will need advice in materials, chassis, motor, transmission, suspensions… I mean, everything… I am not going to help
And a bit of teaching English as well would be perfect
