Hate to pop the bubble here, but importing cars such as the ones hes mentioning into Canada(where we are pretty lax about stuff like this) is a pain in the ass. Im working for my buddies company, SMP motors. Right now we are importing cars into Canada from Japan. The newest car/latest model he can bring in is IRT's. Thats for like 95 or 96 ITR thats done stock. It takes about 4 months of paper work and legal battels to bring it into the country and about another 2 months of batteling with the gouvernment registering it. As of now in Canada, the only cars that are legal to import from Japan at this time are cars 15 years to the month. Also, for certain cars, you can get them relatively cheap. FD RX-7 twinturbos are going for around $10K landed in Canada. As for U.S. law, what i know is unless you register the car as a show car/track car, the car can only be in the country for 6 months. After that the car is deported, if you dont deport the car, it gets crushed and it still needs to be deported. We had a guy from New York state try and get in the company because he found the U.S. law very quickly. As for importing a car into canada, then to the U.S... i would A. check with U.S. Coustoms, B. the DMV and C. your state's laws.


As for pricing for cars...
*these are rough prices*
NSX - $20-50K CND landed
Skylines - $4.5-30KCND Landed (depending on the models, from GTST 4doors - GTRs)
Celica GT4 - 5th Gen - $2-10K CND Landed
Celica GT4 - ST205 *been lookin into this my self* - $3.5-25K CND Landed
Supra - MKIII - 2.5L TT - $4-30k
Supra - MkIV - $7-50K
Soarers - 2.5L TT - $4-30K
FD RX7 - TT - $8-60K
Roadster - Miata - $2-35K

These are rough prices based on the prices of cars in Yen converted to Canadian + rough shipping costs.

Cars costs depends on modifications, condition of the car (auction grade), mode of transportation (shipped with other cars, or by its self), models, etc.

Also for LHD euro GT4s, very hard to find *well at least in France, Germany and Italy*.

Not to hijax of n e thin, if interested in importing cars to canda *once again if planning to import cars from CND to US, check with local and federal laws*, please contact me via PM. And no we do not import parts, just cars.
