Import sprinter or buy corrola

Postby Cmwfastracer » Tue Aug 13, 2013 6:18 pm

Hey what do you guys think I should do. Buy a gts corrola here in the states or import an ae86. I love in Pennsylvania and most gts are in SoCal which I don't want to drive out to. Cheap to buy car but shipping is expensive .

Be patient and buy American. It'll be a huge pain to import a car, plus you'll still have to pay shipping from outside of the country.

^What he said.

Plus, driving a rhd car on the right side of the road SUCKS. You can't see oncoming traffic when making a left turn at a busy intersection.

shipping for my car from Cali to NJ 7 years ago was $700. 0 rust, just sucks because you can look the car over aside from the pics. shipping from Japan is in the area of $3000-4000, PLUS the car, registration/import/customs...fees. you cant look one of them over aside from pics either.

how in the world does it make sense, even kinda, to contemplate a rhd from JPN when you dont want to have to pay for shipping or a plane ticket within the US?!

if its just a fad youre in, keep looking til you give up. sorry to be blunt, but come on.
haha cali...i got one of your 86's and you're not getting it back.
