I'm planning on buying an imported car for the first time but I have a big concern over the insurance.
Anyone here with some experience with this? I'm worried on how the financing will turn out but I do know telling the company what engine it has helps them figure out stuff.
I'm in Canada specifically if that helps
I'm kinda worried guys.

Move to New Zealand and you can have all the imports you want. I pay $35 a week for my SR20DET R31 sedan and $43 a week for my RB30E+T R31 wagon which makes 300kw.

But I'd rather pay an extra $160 a month to drive around peeling it up in a Godzilla killer

Nope, I just found a recently imported one for $8k CAD in my city on the classifieds. It was originally at $10k but the guy dropped it since no one bothered for about a month.
pic related, it's a grade 4 and stock as fuck

That's sick as fuck, I'm assuming it's 1JZ-GTE for the price it is?

Yep
While there's a thread for this, I was also wanting to know the ins and out of importing but in the US. I live within a couple of hours of Japanese Classics so I'm kinda tempted to grab up that Honda Beat they have for shits and gigs.

Should ask the guys that work there. I bet some of them own an import, ask what insurance company they use or have experience with or reccomend.

It's nothing too complicated if you don't live in California. The one issue is getting insurance.

Checked

Most insurance companies will cover most cars.

The problem is them scratching their heads on how much you are gonna pay if they have no idea on the cars value
