Re: Anyone want a JDM?

Some of those are really scruffy, just like the ones in my collection.
The 97 is certainly the pick of the bunch, although I'd be tempted by the shiny black CXD if it had stock wheels.
You should look at K-Staff for some real beauties. http://www.k-staff.net/SVX/svx-top.htm

Re: Anyone want a JDM?

If paying the $1800 shipping to the US was all that was required, it wouldn't be a very bad deal. But---these cars must have changes made to be import eligible for the US and those are what cost a lot of money.

Re: Anyone want a JDM?

Not to bad of a price on the NSX considering a stock 1991 can run you around $24,000. Although I dought the car is street drivable.

The highest one on there still isn't 100,000 miles

Re: Anyone want a JDM?

That '97 might be a bit special according to this site..............

http://isuzupiazza.fc2web.com/whatsvx.htm

........only 2 svx were registered domestically in Japan in 1997.

The source is given as "Huzisige industrial 50 year history data collection"

-with thanks to babelfish.

There were 600 S4 models produced for the JDM market. Sales officially ceased in 1996 so the 2 registered in 1997 were leftovers.
