2.mercedes 500SL
3.nissan skyline GTR

[mx73someday]

Nissan S-Cargo, you wouldn't believe how many people ask about these :thumbsup:

[t-im]

1 or 2...

[Kirbs17]

Im gonna have to say skyline

[shakalaka]

Depends. Importing for yourself? or For selling? If its for you, then you should think about your choice more than other people, if for selling then think whats hotter and what would sell quicker.

GTR

[JDMImports]

for resale purposes..

[QuasarCav]

850 850!

[sputnik]

Why import a JDM 850i if you can get a LHD one here?

[Skylinelover]

For resale I'd say the GTR or the 300zx.

3 or 4

[JDMImports]

you can get an 850i for around 6-700 000 jpy FOB which is approx. 8 grand. plus shipping and the costa when it arrives in canada. when all is said and done your looking at around 10-11 grand. they are selling here for 25-30 grand. so im thinking 850 i all the way

[statick]

it all depends on how much money u got for maintenance/gas/modding.

but other than GTR or 850i (wut i'd take outta ur options)...

pulsar GTi-R:D

[RWD]

300zx since the parts are more available here.. but r32 would be nice.

[tricky]

gtr

:drool:

[calgarys13]

anything mitsuoka and good luck getting an 8 series for 8k FOB.. are you planning on reselling these as a business?

[JDMImports]

850 sell here for anywhere between 20-35 grand. and the average price they go for at auction for the last 3 months is 578 000 yen. so getting one FOB for 9 or so grand is possible.

[GQBalla]

whatever you want man!!!

[calgarys13]

what kind of market is there for 8 series here?

[Go4Long]

huge...they are hella rare here...plus which the fact that the ones in japan are LHD anyway would be a huge help...850's are so pimp...if I'm not mistaken they were available with a V12, have never driven one...but proceed to cream my pants every time I see one.

[QuasarCav]

Yup, they had a V12 so smooth you could start the engine with a dime standing on top.

The dime would fall off everytime, but thats besides the point :rofl:

JK, i'm sure their engines are as smooth as the appearance of the cars themselves. I've seen a couple in action, rare cars. It would be sweet to have one if they were cheap.

[supaj87GTS]

Ide have to say Skyline GTR for resale or for keeps

good call. id say either 850, or 300zx tt for importing tho

[FiveFreshFish]

850Ci is a gorgeous car. High maintenance and quite problematic though.

[JDMImports]

the 850 is an amazing car for sure, there not JDM cars.. japan just imported them from germany thats why they are all LHD. as far as the market here in canada goes im not to sure, thats why i started this thread. it seems like everyone loves the car... and who wouldnt, there CRAZY nice. im thinking once i have the cash its gonna have to be the 850, thanks for the imput everyone.

[JDMImports]

SOOOOOOOO NICE!!!
