I've been in a confusing time lately. I've been wanting to get a 6GC for ages. But I ran out of time before my job and had to settle with a 5gc.
Anyway, I was thinking, this thing will be paid off in a year and a half, which then will be 1 year short of when the 1994 ST205 GT-Fours can be imported...would it be better to wait the year and save up any cash I could and import a GT-4? Or just get a St/GT/something FWD? Im thinking the GT-4 just because AWD would kick ass, and actually give me incentive to modify the car... -------------------- |

do u know how much it cost to import a car? (taxes, shipping, legalization ect)
thats not including insurance,....or getting it for that matter. its not easy to insure and imported car. yeah its possible, but i believe ull pay through your ass tho. y dont u see people rocking gt-4s? because its expensive....and nearly impossible to do legaly -------------------- Kawi Love |

Another reason why you dont see people rocking Gt-4's is because they arent avail in North America, and they cant be imported yet.

Yea, most just take a 6gc and use an older gt-4 motor like a 5th gen cus these were available and swap it.

once they are legal in canada i'm 100% sure u will find them from importer sites... there are quite a few importers around canada...
it's hard to tell how much they will go for tho... if i were u, i would get the 94 gt-4... hope u get get it insured tho! -------------------- |

importers will surely have them here when the time comes.. plus they do all the paperwork to get it registered to drive. my guess is that they'll run at about $12000 and up since the ST185 are currently running at ~$7000

^^ I was thinking the same thing... if I get a good enough job, I'm saving up and buying a GT-4 as soon as I can import one
