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.

i wouldn't want to drive a rhd car everyday...but i would be all over a lhd st205...thing is, idk if they were ever offered anywhere in the world. i could do up to maybe 15. over that and we're too close to the price of a nice used (or new, for that matter) us market car.

seems that you've thought this over pretty well...but are you planning to get into p&a as well, seeing as you said you wanted to make sure every car was tip-top before sale? because i think you'd quickly find that it's much more lucrative to deal in parts alone than entire cars. i think you have to either sell cars, as-is...or parts...but doing both is going to be hugely diffcult, imo.
