Do want

Because I live in Australia and while they're legal, they're also rare as hens teeth and I have never even seen one come up for sale to know what they're worth but judging by other kei cars we're probably looking at ~$15k for an average one.

who would you import it through for 5k

>tfw way too tall to fit in any kei car.
>also struggle to fit in a miata

Fuck all i want in a light weight small car with rwd to fuck around with thats not german

I would take a del sol over a miat for the sole reason of putting the engine in the back

So you could do that then pay whatever on top for shipping or buy one thats already been imported for around $9k

Which one, Veeky Forums?

miata is always the solution

Also DMV won't allow non-california approved models to be registered in state, they check the VIN to make sure.

I've looked at that exact car a number of times, but ended up deciding it was a bad idea. Same goes for the GT-R I almost bought from them, probably a good thing I got beat to the punch on that.

The Beat is still really cool though, maybe someday when I really don't care how many cars I have.
