read the fine print. you are bidding on making a downpayment (of $20,000) and paying $105,000 for a car that you may not evan be able to drive on streets.

They don't evan know if it will pass DOT standards. It would suck to buy it and have to sink more money into just to get it on the street.

There are some in the US. A company in Cali was bringing them over for around $110,000.

I heard about some guy in the Air Force stationed in Japan, he bought a used R32 or R33 and had them convert it to DOT specs for like 3000 and since he was in the service, they shipped his car to the states for free. He wound up with a Skyline GT-R for like 7,000... Lucky bastard....

Did you see that post with the pictures of the skyline getting crushed? That could be you, for the small cost of $120,000.

that wasn't a GT-R V-Spec II so it wasn't worth anywhere near that dollar amount.
