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. |

importing a car (especially a 350Z) is kinda pointless...
keep in mind that the car will be RHD. You'll be on the other side of the road vs the rest of the drivers, drive thrus will be a pain, if you're getting a manual transmission, that's another thing to use your left hand vs right, etc...etc... my dream car is a Lamborghini ...but yeah we all have different dreams I guess.

Either young or low income, we all have been one or both of those at one time. Though funny and maybe questionable, give him some slack.

If you want to talk to people like that do it outside this forum. We don't condone this type of behavior among members as we're all pretty much adults here so I would expect this from everyone including yourself to be respectful. I would encourage you to rethink before attacking another member here and familiarize yourself with the forum rules. I don't see why you needed to respond this way if your opening yourself to be criticized on a public forum that has been here since 08 09 for me. I've pretty much seen it all, and so have many of our members so the patience maybe a little thin, but help can be had if you act like an adult. Have a nice day and Please!
