Another st205 in the states. Options

[lagos]

So It seems we have another real st205 in the states. There is a local shop around here that is known for importing cars. A few weeks ago they brought over a black gtfour with the original 3 spoke wheels (from what ive been told). I called them up today, and verified this story, however they informed me that the car was sold about 2 weeks ago. Seems another shop just a few blocks from them bought the car. They said that if I stop buy they could have the other shop bring the car over for me to check out, so I'll try to get some pics of it.

The guy also mentioned that there are two more in a lot in japan that he is thinking of importing. He's asking price is around 14grand.

if i can insure register and smog the gt4 in california, i would personally go pick one up myself.

I doubt you'd ever get it to pass smog. Toyota stopped selling MR2 Turbos (3S-GTE) in California mid-94 because Toyota coulden't make them emmissions compliant anymore...

That said, I also would like to know how someone would go about insuring a car like this? JDM = no VIN #. I don't see how putting the VIN # off of a wrecked Celica here would help either- Once it comes time to make any type of claim you are going to get screwed... Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to have a GT-Four, but I’m not going to commit insurance fraud to have one. That and the fact that being RHD would most likely attract all kinds of unwanted attention from police…
