whats the risk? - Click HERE for Original Thread

Therin
Ok, so the Silvia K's S14 wont be available for a few more years or any other vehicle from 94. So what would the risk be if someone (ie. myself) were to put the cash down on one for now?

a few example i could think of would be:
car gets fucked during storage
IC goes under (god forbid)
car i pay for isnt what i should have expected when it is available

also is it possible to buy it now, have it exported here and used as a non-street legal vehicle (ie. drag car)

Storing for more than a year isn't worthwhile. You will save the most money if you buy closer to when its 14 years old or nearly 15 years old.

You can import a car to Canada for offroad use, we have only read about it, but have never performed it. I've also read that once it is imported for offroad use, that it's chassis number is flagged to never be registerable.

ok so if it is possible, and not taking in the fact that it'll be unregisterable after awhile, would you guys undertake the business of getting it here? cuz if its possible to get one here before its 15yrs old, i wouldnt mind getting my hands on a true s15. street legal or not.

im sure if you had a dealer license you COULD drive it time to time with a dealer plate

well if i were to get an s15 it would end up being a show queen anyway.
