I have a friend who can import cars and parts from Japan. I've heard that you can import Cosmos now, but I haven't seen many here in US. Im just wondering if anyone has imported one, or bought one here or knows someone, How much do they go for here in US? Is it even worth flipping them here in the States?

 

I think importers have already marked up prices hoping to cash in on the Skyline import craze. Doesn't seem to be a huge market for them, still a very niche car. Lots of people can't get passed the automatic only option even though the 5 speed swaps are fairly common.

 

I don't know of any in the states. Canada yes, but not US.

The admin/owner of 24/7, Antoine, has one. Maybe shoot him a PM. I'm pretty sure he's in Okinawa like LoneStar though.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat if it wasn't crazily overpriced like all the gray market Skylines are.

 

This place has sold a few for around 13-16k. 13b-re ones would obviously be less.

I would love to get myself one... Wonder how hard it would be to get it legalized in CA...

 

Antoine is in mainland Japan and I'm now in Arizona. I've been keeping an eye on the prices and they've risen a good $3000-$5000 on the Japanese market, and like I've mentioned above, US importers will look to mark up and make a profit for themselves.

I don't think the JC's have reached their highest point yet though, low mileage virgin's will probably fetch a decent amount as they get closer the final production year of '95.

 

You have a legalized 3-rotor in the US?

**** yeah!
