Default New soon to be owner!

Once I get it shipped, exported, imported, inspected, insured, I'll be able to drive this!




I think I did an okay job on this. It's a Cali S2000 MY06 in with 26,000miles (42,000km). I was able to get it for $18,000 USD. It's not a super deal but a decent one nonetheless. I was really hoping for around $17,000. Car is super clean, only one door ding on the passenger side. Otherwise everything is great. I can't wait to pick it up in WA once it's been shipped from CA.

Thanks for everyone's help and stay tuned.

Very clean. Doesn't sound like that bad of a deal. My '07 was mint with 12K miles and it was 29K.

What are you driving now?

Hehe, Thanks!

Was that 29k all in?

4 door corolla, I get all the ladies over 65 with it.

It's funny, I'm adding up all the cost to it including taxes, the flight and hotel in Cali, inspections, shipping and importation fees and it's looking to be around $28,000 after all said and done.

If only the CAD was still at 95cents to 1 USD. It'd be like $23,5000 all in. That's why I say it's a decent deal, but not a super deal as I think one like this would realistically sell for 25-26k locally.

Sounds like you got a great deal. Bought my '01 S in late August for US$14,500, with 40k miles. Identical to yours in colour and OEM lip but also had some larger wheels, new exhaust and revised suspension. Also managed to pickup US bucks using a 97
