Wait what. There is no way that price is normal. Prices in the USA are inflated for a good AE86, but they only go up to 10-12k for a really nice one. How can one go for 35 thousand Eurobux?

I just want to import Mazda Protege5 from USA. Engine must be atleast 2.0 130Hp with manual gearbox. Must have Sport trim. Red, blue, yellow colors are the best. Silver is okay. Black is shit. Must be in mint condition, rust free. Interior must be factory too. Front electric windows is a requirement, back ones can be mechanical.

But dreams are dreams. Shipping it here to EU will cost 3 times the price of vehicle itself. Plus I highly doubt they were ever sold with manual gearbox in US.

>>17683447
Germany lost its mind when it comes to prices. Ive seen someone selling 1996 Impala on mobile.de with absolutely shitty, rust filled body condition. And the overall condition is questionable. He asks for 11k euro. What the fuck is even happening. Seen someone selling Golf Mk3 for 3k euro or even more and condition is worse than those that are selling for 1k euro

>>17683803
Of course they were sold in manual in the US. I owned one. 5 speed, fully optioned, bought new in 2003
Great fucking car. They were sold as Familias in other parts of the world and I think 323s in Australia.

Bought a bone stock 1985 Corolla GTS with 160K miles clean title with no accidents, repainted grey/blue two tone, all metal without a single ding anywhere, fully reupholstered seats, just a fuel injection problem for $2,800.

Just import it from Puerto Rico if you live in the states. Lots of cheap stock GTS's here. I laugh every time I see GTS prices in the states.

no were comparing the 4.8/5.3/6.0 vortec truck engines because they are the only ones even close to parity in terms of cost. to get a C5 engine out of a vette with low miles, complete, and with a warranty is 3-4x than a UZ. yes the more compact LS motors are more compact. they still also weigh almost twice as much.

Wouldn't it be much cheaper and better to import an AE86 from japan?
Initial D was a mistake.

>>17687519
The worst part is the language barrier if you only speak English. It's just like buying one from Japan in this aspect but there are no exporting companies to help that I know.

You need to have a friend here that speaks some Spanish to help you find one and export it to the States or if you know about cars and speak a little Spanish you can come and buy/export it yourself. Most paperwork here in government offices is available in English but most people with these cars here barely speak English.

I found mine in clasificadosonline.com and bought it the day after I saw and tested it in person, the clean ones don't last a week for sale.

Sounds a little intimidating and complicated but saving 5K-10K is worth it in my opinion.
