I would not import a car unless it was not available in the U.S. or a limited
produced item.
I have passed up on a few deals in this category. But,times change and the value of
cars change. Makes you kick yourself at times.
Showing my age(I'm prolly in the upper level for Z owners),Road&Track ran a ad
every month back in the 60's-early 70's. Said:
American in Italy has(Ferraris)for sale. I almost bought one. Even contacted the seller about shipping(via boat).Like 3k for a Ferrari 250GT 60'S model SHIPPED.
These babies go for around(restored) 700k now.
We all (I think)have passed on deals. Sold my 62' Jag E-TYPE roadster because
could not afford a new clutch it needed(had to pull the engine to change).
Would be worth about 100k today . And I could not spring for $1,500 60's bucks
at the time.Bought my Lotus which I still have.
Pass
Used 350's are all over the place at firesale prices.Get to see/drive it too.
