Oh quit pokin and just do it man! I talked to the "guy" and we can save money if we buy together..... I mean we could save money if we did it ourselves too, but I think I would rather have someone who knows what they are doing to help (The first time anyhow). Then we could load your little "lot" up with Skylines and P-cars.

Funny....
Yes I know of two out of Japan here in Calgary. Imported by a Company in Vancouver, I can't remember the name..... The only thing I wonder is how much full throttle driving do they get or are they always stuck in traffic. Anyway the ones I saw were low KM, very nice Euro units, but you pay to play. What are you looking for? there are a couple in the trader right now that look pretty nice, depending on year, desire, $. Take your time, I took 2 years to find mine, right in town, but I'm always looking for my next ex Porsche

Well, mine actually got written off. Now I am "negotiating" a value. I think I am gonna buy a Japanese car. In Saskatoon, we have at least 3 Pcars here and 2 more on their way from JP.
Steve... have been combing the net. I found another site thats uses "platinum's" auction info. If I read things right, that 2nd C4 went for about $12K CDn. That means it would be just sub $20K CDN landed! I almost bought a skyline turbo tonight! I mean like $2500. Get it here for $5ish... |

I have one that was brought over from Japan... My understanding is that stringent regulations make it prohibitively expensive to drie a car beyond 40-60k km. The cars therefore get shipped to either SE Asia or the Pacific Rim. I'll see if I can find out who originally shipped mine over...
