umm... 6000 dollars or 3000 dollars,whatever.. the rx7 doesnt look too great of shape. it looks like the owner didnt really take care of it either. its got alot of miles for an rx7, not only that, theyre not that reliable. so once it hits over 40,000 - 50,000 miles, your just gonna be paying more for maintenence and repairs.
and why a C240?!?! whats so great about a mid-90s C class benz? theyre not all that reliable either..

American FD3S
Japanese FD3S
American=13 years old
Japanese=12 years old
American=106k miles
Japanese=69k miles
American=$13,000
Japanese=<$6,000
American=boring old: left hand drive
Japanese=HOLY CRAP! you're on the wrong side of the car, thats so cool: right hand drive
You=stupid
And as far as the benz goes, I'm just a big fan of the "clean" style. It just looks really nice to me. personal taste.
Besides... who's that worried about reliability when you import a car from japan?

My friend and his family went to Japan for the summer. He told me that getting around with just english is the hardest thing they did in their lives.

It'd be nice if Acura/Lexus/Infiniti had a "Japanese Delivery" tour like the Euro makers do. I'd love to take a factory fresh Honda out on Suzuka or Fuji or something.
Suppose it's a lot more complicated than Europe, what with the right hand drive and the language and all.

what they love are ASTROVANS, i've got a buddy who has a company that ships astro van body kits to japan for crazy cash.
i've also got a friend that builds lowriders and sells them out there for 2x's as much as he'd get out here.
