    My officemate was offered these two (2000-BB /2002-Cube) JDM BOXES by an importer/car dealer friend.
    She has no knowledge about cars, so she asked me for which of the two was best.
    She prefers the Cube and the BB because of the Headroom, Cargo Space and Wacky Japanese styling... And both are automatics, the cars are in pristine condition(Japanese Owned). Both are LHD conversions, will this be an issue?
    Price: Toyota BB- 325,000.00
    Nissan Cube 420,000.00
    Is the price fair for both units? Since both are almost 8 years old...
    Which one would you prefer?

    How about none? Importer + JDM = Original RHD converted to run LHD. This means that there is more maintenance to be done and some parts like the brakes might just not work in the middle of the road since the car was not designed to be driven as an LHD. Trust me, my mechanic has this customer who owns a LHD converted Subic Pajero who's a regular in his talyer haha.

    Given it's already 8 years old and a converted unit, having no knowledge of cars will prove to be disastrous for your friend.

    add ko lang ah... for that costs, your friend can and will be able to purchase a good 2nd hand "local" cars or even use the money for financing a brand new car.
