Well many of u know that i'm going to school overseas. i was thinking about transportaion and i was thinking i can get a civic type r out there (the ricer in me :P). I can get a low milage one for under 10k or i can get an s15 for a smilir price. Than today i talked to my cousin who has connections out there and he can probably get me a r34 for about 20k. Many of u guys may say why so little. Motorex, a company who imports skylines sells it for about 90k. The sell the r32 and r33 for 50-70k. those r32 and r33 can be had for about 15kish. the guy made a killing but he's now in jail. i think it had something to do about monpolizing or some crap like that

I can get the r34 for about 20k (still think thats kinda cheap) than ship it to the states for about 2-3k. now the question is what else do i need. I know that there is a 2.5% tax on what the car is worth. so lets say it comes out to about $500.

so assuming that these are the bulk of the xpenses, the total would be under 30k

approx 20k for car +2-3k for shipping and + $500 for taxes = better than paying 90k for it


if I can import the car for even close to 30k. i'm doing it and keeping it stock

btw i don;t know if it'll pass emission, or us saftey standards, but i hear that it does


so i ask any of u if u guys know anyone who imports cars. i need some advice on what route should i take, what i could expect and what road bumps i may encounter.
