Imported 350z from Japan?
 

Most cars there would be close to par with the prices here after shipping but I've found a 350z for around $4K with 60k miles. That would be around $10k if I tried to buy that from anywhere in the us. What are you thoughts on importing, do you know the average cost to deliver it to the coast?

Pretty sure you're not going to be able to import a 350 just yet

I don't know anything about importing

Agreed.

Japan Auto Direct :Importing to USA

From the above:

"Vehicles eligible for import into the USA:

1) Any vehicle that is at least twenty-five (25) years old (to the month/year of manufacture) is eligible to be imported into the USA, fully exempt of the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (Department of Transport) and Environmental Protection Agency (vehicle emissions) standards or import restrictions.

2) Any vehicle that was originally manufactured to meet the NHTSA (DOT) & EPA standards, such as USDM cars like a Chevrolet Corvette or European exotic from USA, can be repatriated back to America without import restriction.

3) Any vehicle that is a non-US spec vehicle (Not DOT & EPA compliant), such as JDM cars like a Nissan Skyline, you must hire a DOT-registered importer and have them conform the vehicle to U.S. standards upon importation. * Please check the "list of non-conforming vehicles" (link below) for the JDM vehicle you want to import and also the "list of registered importers" (link below) who might be able to conform that specific vehicle to US Spec for you."

This is the result when you try..... might be painful to watch.

"Your" government regulations working on "your" behalf.

Glad the owner was allowed to get out of the driver's seat before justice was done. If he becomes a repeat offender, the third time he may not be given that opportunity.

It's for the children!

OP, 350Zs are cheap as it is. Besides, like what Darwins' Child pointed out, a JDM vehicle must be at least 25 years old to be imported into the US.

I didn't know, but yeah they aren't much but just think, you could get them for 6k in Japan

Yeah, $6K plus shipping. Oh, and the 25 years or older law kinda plays a big role.

(I'm thinking of living there pretty soon after college) since I can't bring my car that would be a great price

If you are going to live in Japan, you'd have more options than just a Z33. I wouldn't even think of shipping one then.

Yeah? I didn't plan o shipping. 350z/370z are my dream cars
