Feeler: Importing ST205 (and others) to US Options

[slyd]

I am thinking of starting a company geared towards importing otherwise unobtainable cars, engines, and parts to the US. The 6gen GT-4, of course, is one of these. Also Nissan S15 Silvias, R32 and R34 Sylines, and other Japanese and European goodies that due to DOT and EPA restrictions are not importable. I already know all the laws and rules and have formulated a method for doing this legally. And it's not easy, there is a lot you have to do to keep them completely legal and road-safe. A few questions, though. 1. How much would you be willing to pay for an ST205? 2. What other cars would you recommend? 3. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

GT4 in Japan cost from 2K$ till 8K$ depending on condition and etc. And all this pricing is fo a DAMAGED cars only. SSIII Prices are a little bit lower...

Shipping from Japan to almost any country is the same (almost the same) Shipping from Japan of 40ft container including 4 cars would cost somthere near 5-6K$ range. so even if you buy a well used GT4 lets say of 97 for about 5$ with little cosmetic damage + add another 1.5K for shipping, add customs fees, papers and etc and im well sure you will be standing in about 10-12K$ price range with it RHD.

I did imported already 6 JDM cars, and will do more in future, so im a bit familiar with all the stuff and etc.. And to get best prices of the JDM cars you have to have a really really good source - cuz otherwise Add another 1-1.5K of dealer fees...
