Is this a big fraud or????
 
http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car...p=5&ps=25&so=1

This website is full of Toyota Supras in Japan that are willing to export them to Los Angeles, CA. WHen it calculates the shipping it is only $1,800 for a 10-17 day shipping or something like that. The thing that is tripping me out though is how they have MKIV's for lower than $10,000 USD. What should i do? I'm very tempted in ordering and shipping one here but I don't know if the prices are illogical or they are logical based on the currency differences. What do you guys think?

That site could be legit, but it may be tough getting a RHD model registered/tagged. The chassis standards are different in Japan, and (from what I understand) they don't pass DOT crash standards. Also, I've heard several horror stories about cars that have been stacked for shipment overseas, and got damaged when one above fell onto one below. Please keep us informed if you decide to give it a try.

AHHHH!!!! I really want to give it a gooooo so badly haha. If it is legit i can order my car like next month! But i dont know... Seems to good to be true. haha. So the RHD can stop my car from being legal!? I live in Las Vegas, Nevada and I seen a blue mkiv supra that was right hand drive i didnt see the state of the license plate though =/. Ill look into that though sometime. Does anyone here have any experience or know of someone who has bought a car from japan?

It was the best lead I had handy for you. If you do go forward with the order, you might become this forum's US-expert on importing RHD Mkiv's. :)
