On inspection we found the overall condition to be lower than grade 4.5, with some apparent deterioration since 2011 when it was graded as being in virtually new condition. There were a number of issues relating to how the car had been kept and it was not a show queen.
Surface rust was clear in numerous places as pictured. Not major in any particular place but would require attention to bring the vehicle back to top condition.
Roof trims a little sun affected and worn.
Paint peeling from engine.
Right rear quarter panel had been painted, but not replaced. Repaint was noticeable.
Damage to jacking points.
Airconditioner compressor was running but not getting cold, probably needed re-gas. Being an N1, we believe the airconditioner would have been factory optioned on this car.
Minor pet hair inside the car but no smell and easily cleaned.
Non-smoker’s car.
The extensive pictures tell the rest of the story.

Geoff,
My Caldina has arrived in great condition with no transport damage so good job by all involved. I spent most of yesterday afternoon looking over and playing with everything in the car. It’s a great car and has lots of high end after market goodies. Thanks for the assistance in buying this car it has been a good experience so far and should be for the rest of the time I own it. I will send thru some updated pics when I’ve given it a bath.
I just wanted to touch base again and let you know the Caldina I bought is terrific and that the compliance went very well and the guys there were very helpful. The car is very smooth and quiet with plenty of grunt for a 2.0L all wheel drive. I average between 500km to 550km on the highway and approximately 400km to 450km around town (that could have a lot to do with my driving style).
Thanks for all your help and knowledge with importing my car I am very happy with how smoothly everything went and am already considering importing my next car when the time comes.
Cheers
Shane
