Dude that is the most obvious list I have ever read in my whole life (except for the cops being 'crocked' if you're black or white)

6000? plus shipping and what other cost?...how much are you looking to spend all together?

figure i get a celica around $5500 cost me another $300-400 for the car broker to get the car on a ship from japan to mexico shipping on a roll on roll off boat will cost around $600 then itll cost me like $300 to fly down there and another $150 to drive back.

so maybe around $6500-$7000

Coustoe just a warning... if you get cheap shipping your car will most likely be COMPLETELY STRIPPED... even with expensive shipping containers they usually get stuff stolen, I have friends who import to Australia and there is always something missing like wheels, BOV, shifter, momo wheels etc.

Most of the ****s who work on the docks will tear through that stuff

hmmm, I'm going with a roll on roll off ship, just drive the car on and drive it off the boat.

Ya im getting shipping insurance too, so if anyone decides to rip stuff off hopefully it wont be bad enough for me to not drive the car to the US.
