i was looking at getting an import, but insurance (comprehensive) is way too expensive. the cheapest i got quoted was 1500 for an AE86, which isnt that bad considering im still on my ps, but most other imports were at least 2 grand. the celsior was 2500!
for the loan i would take out to get one, the car would be collateral, and a condition of the the loan is full comp insurance on the car, so i kinda scrapped the import idea.
