Smart buyer checklist

Treat this as two groups. Required items protect you from payment loss and fraud — if a seller resists any of them, walk away. Ideal items help you assess the car's condition; when one is missing, factor it into your risk and your offer rather than treating it as automatic fraud.

Requiredfraud and payment-loss prevention

Confirm title status. Clean, salvage, rebuilt, or no title — and the title's jurisdiction — should be clear before you wire.
Confirm the car is importable to your location. That's your homework, not the seller's; if the import path is unclear, step back and verify before paying.
Read the bill of sale before you wire. "As-is" with no warranty is normal; anything that removes inspection or payment protections is a red flag.
Use a third-party escrow service; never wire to a personal account. For dealer sales, a wire to the business account named on the invoice is normal; for private-party sales, use escrow.

Idealvehicle-condition diligence; factor missing items into risk and price

Ask for the export certificate. If the car was exported from Japan recently, the deregistration document can help confirm provenance and timing.If unavailable: certificates for older imports are often filed away, so absence is a risk signal, not automatic fraud.
Ask for underbody, engine bay, and rear-quarter photos. Those areas reveal rust and repair work that hero shots can hide.If unavailable: the car may still be in transit or storage; review existing media and ask for fresh shots once it's accessible.
Consider a third-party pre-purchase inspection (PPI). A specialist inspection can catch issues that change the price.If unavailable: a PPI is often not feasible while the car is still overseas, so price the added uncertainty instead of treating it as proof of fraud.

"SOLD OUT" indicates that the vehicle has been sold to a new lucky owner. 1970 Mazda Cosmo Series II/L10B This is not just a car, or even a Legend. It goes beyond that in the form of a myth. But we assure you…

this is as real as the RPM's it climbs. This is the mother, the dawn, the start. of all high revving rotary sports cars. An origin that would become so impacting it would set the world on fire for Japanese cars, rotary fans, racing, classic car enthusiasts, engineers, and car collectors alike. The rotary engine was so revolutionary (in more ways than one) that it was herald at the time as the engine of the future. Because of the lasting impression and technological advancements the Cosmo made, it solidified Mazda's brand as synonymous with the Wankel engine. A duo that still, today, keeps them hand in hand in the minds and hearts of car lovers everywhere. This is a 1970 Mazda Cosmo. The Mazda Cosmo was built by hand at about a speed of 1 per day. 1,176 were built in total, but only a much more limited number have survived over the 51 years since its birth, making this car a true rare treat. This Cosmo is of the highly sought after Series II batch. A revision of Series I preferred for its many upgrades cementing its sports car performance. Factory upgrades include a horsepower increase (110hp to 128hp), power brakes, a 5 speed manual option over a 4 speed, a wider wheel base for better room and handling, and larger wheel size from 14" to 15". These upgrades helped launch the cars fame and success in a painstaking 84 hour endurance race at the Nurburgring Ring in Germany. This specific Cosmo was restored in Japan in the mid 2000's. The car is in very original condition other than the Nardi steering wheel. This car was sourced by us at JDM Legends and upon arrival at our shop was gone over with a fine tooth comb to our satisfaction. This car is undeniably rare as it is in good running condition with the original 10A rotary engine. So rare that even Jay Leno's Cosmo doesn't have the 10A. This is a key factor as a testament to its originality and its value. These cars are rising in value every single day that goes by. A recent example sold at auction for $260,000 This car is currently located in the United States and will be sold with a Utah state title.
