[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 16633662, member: 79484"] It would be if you have a connection in Japan to buy directly from the auctions and are willing to deal with stacks of paperwork. Importers like Japanese Classics out of Richmond VA buy directly from auction and import by the boatload, same with a lot of importers out on the west coast. It wouldn't be beneficial to buy up cars from Japanese dealers and export them. The only reason this midnight purple car got in early is specifically due to the color, the rare color allows importation under the show & display law. The entire JDM market has become exceedingly expensive, when R32 GT-R's were first legalized, you could pick up a clean stock example for low 20's. Now they're low 40's easily. The unloved "fat" R33 generation, 6 months before they became legal in the US jumped from an average of mid 20's to an average of mid 30's, and now bring 40-60 consistently. R34's are always **** off expensive. I will say when I was in Japan in late 2018, it was uncommon to see ratty GT-R's owned by kids at any of the meets, especially R34's. All of the R34 GT-R's I saw were spotless and owned by older gentlemen The GT-R's weren't cheap when new. The common spec ones you find are the GT-T/GTS-T cars including sedans, those are the drift missiles and street racers you see with some miles and years on them. [/QUOTE]
