I lived in Canada for 9 years, and they were EVERYWHERE. Honestly everything from pristine show cars, to ratted out pieces of crap held together with zip ties for 8K. The best thing to do would be to watch for sale ads in Canada, or import one up there, and store it for a few years between the import timelines, 10 years is a lot of wiggle room and time for nice cars to get snapped up. There are probably people in B.C. and Alberta that would be willing to store cars for a fee, and keep them running and maintained. Now you have me thinking, maybe I need to re-purpose the garage at our rental house in Calgary.... |

While crossing the border in upper state NY, saw a guy importing a pristine R32 to stateside. Seemed to be a common process based on the communication between the importer and CBP. There are quite a few here in Canada, with CAD $ being low, good to time to buy it.

Also, random things happen and getting parts is hard so plan a lot of down time in between repairs. My friend's R32 got a windshield crack from a rock hitting it... now it's a few months wait to get a windshield from Japan. But for the R34, it's already 100k for one - more for rarer ones. Imagine the price skyrocket when it becomes able to import to the US.

Decrease? It's $100k+ in Canada already. Once demand rises with importation to the US being legal, you will see the price increase.

Lol no. You cannot just say the demand will increase because they will be available. Once they become available supply will increase. When supply goes up demand goes down. As of today there is limited supply, so demand is higher. In 2025 supply will increase which would make demand decrease. They won't take a big hit because of nostalgia, but the price will in fact come down.

When supply goes up demand goes down? Um no, when supply goes up prices go down. Demand remains unchanged. Quote:
Increasing supply will not make demand decrease, again demand will stay the same, but prices will decline due to more supply being available. In this case in 2025 the supply of R34s available for import may or may not increase, it will depend on the increase in demand of making them available for import in the US. If the demand increases because they can now be imported, prices will increase. Price increases may increase supply as more people may decide to sell their R34 and make them available for import - which cold drive the prices back down, depending on demand. |

Love browsing this store's inventory from time to time, they often get really nice cars. I'm very curious to see what the MKIV Supras are going to cost. It's 2018, so we should see some 1993s start showing up soon. |

I understand the interest in cars or even versions of cars we never got, but I'm unclear why I've seen a few folks mention the Mk4 Supra. |

Price will dictate everything for me. If they want as much $$$ as LHD versions or just a bit less, I'll pass on the idea. |
