How beat up do you guys think that this car would be? anyone have experience when dealing with importing a car?

 

Looks nice, decent price too. My best advice would be to go out and test drive it yourself. And has it allready been checked out by the DOT and EPA??? If not then add a few more grand to that price tag.... good luck

 

nice

 

rhd?
i too would second that you drive it too, i dont think your money isnt worth spending unless you see how it drives.

 

yea....

the shady thing about the site is that from what i understand, you have to pay in full before even seeing the car which is

that would be money.

 

id never pay money until i saw it/drove it

 

i wouldnt do that either, how do u know if the transmission is alright, its like they can sell you a piece of _ _ _ _ and you can just buy it like that, how do u know everything is legit, i wouldnt, but i mean its your money, just trying to show you other things you should look into, but rhd is pretty crazy, even tho its stock.

 

DOHC 00 S, your signature confuses me...you sound exactly like my girlfriend

 

get a <FONT SIZE="+3">USDM S2k </FONT> price are simliar to the ones here in the states plus that one is a 1999 u can get a 2000-2003 for about the price range save you the import tax and shipping,( which is a killer)

 

yea, wasnt planning on buying the car, just wanted opinions on what you guys thought

 

What differences are there from a USDM S2000 to a JDM one. Besides RHD of course.

 

ya its werid how girls can often at times alter your perspective on situations

 

why bother, too much headache!
About the importing into the US :
As you may know, all the Japanese specifications vehicles (JDM car) are Right Hand Drive. Unfortunately, it is hard to import JDM cars into the US at present except the 25 years or older model. It is because you have to obtain the approval from the DOT and the EPA in order to import the JDM car and it needs to legalize a car when it will reach to the US port.

Let me advise you that unless you wish to present crash test data for any Right Hand Drive car, it cannot legally be imported to the US. This is prohibitively expensive as a vehicle must be crashed to obtain the data, and we do not support the crash test data. Also the JDM car probably do not meet the US emission standard. And after 1996 models probably need to install the OBD2 system in order to pass the emission standard.

 

Left turns would suck with on-coming traffic...but very nice

 

you could get a job as a postman in that thing!

 

Very clean!

Neither would I. Too sketchy for me....

I have always been a fan of white, I think it looks good with the red seats.
