Have to have one !

Greetings everybody, this is my first post in here , nice forums dedicated to the greatest car ever (in my opinion).

here is my little story, hope i won't bother you with it..

i'm a supra fan since...forever ! but i still didn't fulfill my dream of owning one, basically cuz i live in a country where good supra's are not really available and the ones that are here have problems, basically because they are japan imported and they come in RHD which can't be registered here, so some garages (crappy ones) do some crappy work on em to convert em to LHD so they can be registered, which at first was allowed, but after the many problems and issues that appeared with these converted cars (not only supra, same goes for skylines and some other japanese imported) even converted ones are not now allowed to be registered and hence, the only supra that one can trust is clean/good and can even be registered here are ones bought from the US and imported individually. or you would buy one from a guy who already did the import and owned it, which rarely ever happens.

Anyway, i can't take it nymore and decided i will take this big step and start my research on :
1-finding a clean and 'stock' (well, it's hard to find stock ones, so i'd say lightly modified) targa top tt manual gear MkIV supra.
2-importing it

so i started hitting supra forums to pop the question hoping that maybe some of you will thankfully offer any advise?

well first of all i would like to know the prices of supras in the USA and how can i locate one online (other than ebay?)

i apologize for the long post.

Thanks guys !
Cheers
