What do you think is the easiest way to..., Best way to get an LHD Gt4 Options

[dudeofchaos]

Just wondering what you guys think would be the easiest/less expensive way to go if you wanted to get a Lhd Gt4 and lived in America.

Cause that's pretty much what I'm thinking about. I have a Usdm Gts.

If you go with a full Gt to Gt4 conversion, it would be a a total f**k with the insurance company IF you could insure it.
If you buy a euro Gt4, it would be very expensive to ship it and risky to buy a car you've never seen and also dangerous to receive it damaged through the shipping.

So I believe the best way would be to buy a Jdm and go Lhd. I'd like to fully insure it and that's going to be a pita, but that's another story.

What are your thoughts?

none of these option would be cheap.

Unless the rules are different in Quebec and you can't register a RHD car, then I would just stick with RHD.
it's definitely not hard to get used to.

Here is my guess for cost.
Option 1 - Buy a JDM Gt4 and swap it LHD - probably 7000 if you do it yourself + 8000 for a JDM GT4
Option 2 - Buy a euro Gt4 and import it. - Maybe around 15-20k if you can find someone to import it for you
Option 3 - Keep your USDM Gt/St and fully convert it - People with more experience here can tell you how much it cost. (not cheap but probably cheaper than the other two)

Good luck

The law says that you can't register a Jdm car unless it has been registered before the law came in. So I would buy one that is already plated. Though for what's about money, I don't really care. If I get one I would sell mine which would get me about what I need plus the money that I will have saved for next summer will be more than enough. I know I will be able to afford it.

But it's not cause I think I won't get used to it, it's because I'd much rather drive on the left side. I would drive it on the right side for about a year or so but then I will eventually convert it to Lhd use.
