I have $35,000 cash and want to get a GT4. I was going to get a 370Z but after dealing with over 10 local Nissan dealers, no one seems to want to sell me the car - even after showing them the checks - they're a bunch of greedy bastards. It's rediculous that even in this crappy economy with everyone going out of business, they act this way. Anyway, I figure getting the GT4 is cheaper and it'd be nice to save some of that cash.
What's the best way to get one? Does anyone know any websites for importers with inventory search, perhaps? I know it's nearly impossible to get but with enough money, I guess it can be done. edit: i must sound like a noob posting this, but i've actually been here a few years. sorry if the post annoyed anyone. lol. -------------------- ![]() |

i remember someone posting on here a few years back of a silver gt-four being sold in Florida by some exotic car importer.. i'm not sure if it was ever sold
here is the link: http://www.evolutionimports.com/ go into used cars (top right) and scroll through the pages. i think it is on 4th page. here are specs: 1995 toyota Celica GT4 ST205 The Turbo charged AWD celica was one of the rarest celicas made.This car has the 2.0L Air/water intercooler,Apexi air filter,PW,PS,AC,PW,double Din radio,5 speed tranny,cat back exhaust.This car is FL right now.call for more details.This car is at our Florida facility,call to make an apointment to see it Color: silver Price: $19,000 Mileage: 37,000 miles Condition: Interior: 4/5 | Exterior: 4/5 the site is no longer running another interesting post by FORGMANN There actually was or is a silver one for sale in FL for $19k .. overpriced yes.. and being sold by evolution imports they title all there cars thru loop holes in Fl .. car is considered a kit car i believe but not 100% sure .. Besides mine (midest car noted in previous post) and NH car there is at least 3 more real st205's in NA. one in Calgary (same guy who got mine) , black one that was sold on EBAY 3 or 4 years ago in NJ but who knows where it is now , and supposedly a silver one in WA but have never seen it .. when i was towing my car home ran into kid at McDONALDS in Billings ,MT that said they picked up a friends JDM S13 in WA and importer had a silver st205 .. dont really care either way ... i can say one thing about titling .. I have a friend who has a blue 94 jdm mr2 and he has had car for over three years been pulled over 7 times and never once i say ONCE was the rhd or his crappy vin swap (which he didn't do ) ever called into question .. Now he lives in Indiana and BMV laws are very very easy compared to most states .The car had to have a county sheriff impsection twice and passed without issue .. Now i am not saying if you get a st205 do a vin swap but there is no DOT police .. You deal with local authorities only so getting into US is the bigger hurdle .. title any way you want and good luck but understand the risks .. dont be ignorant.. my car was listed as parts car but still had to go thru 5 min inspection at border and had zero issues even through car was driveable and overall complete .. all they cared about was drugs, produce, and any hidden terrorists i might be smuggling in .. paid 200 in taxes and had paperwork done and cleared before i even hit border .. now i am 32 and plan on using mt st205 as my collector car / hobby car .. would not reccommend it as a daily driver and even more so if your younger .. the RHD will be tricky for younger inexperienced drivers and being younger cops will go out of there way to investigate rhd . plus when we are younger we tend to have car exposed more out on street and that leads to issues with people knowing about your and will tell their shady buddy they really want your rhd car and that could lead to possible theft issues .. i would love to see more st205's in US ..good luck and happy importing .. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
