I have asked a friend of mine who is in the car business (worked for Nissan for a number of years, drove one of the first pre-production 240’s in 1989, and now does used car import/export) to look into buying me a '92-'93 S13 from Florida (which of course have flawless, rust-free body/frames). After hearing of the popularity of the cars, he is interested in bringing a bunch of them back (and doing all the necessary import paperwork etc), and I was hoping to get some feedback about what these cars would be worth to the average 240 enthusiast.
So if you have a minute, post what you would pay for a rust-free, avg mileage (ie 100-200km) excellent condition 92-93 coupe/hatch/convertible. Please try to be specific, ie what year, options, etc. If you are really interested in buying one, PM me and I’ll get a list going. He will be going to Florida in the next few weeks, and I would imagine he could have the cars here for July/August.
Keep in mind this is just tentative for now, but if there is enough interest, and it is worthwhile to do all this work, we will definitely get something going.

Keep in mind you cannot import 1990 (August or later [staring 4 days from now]) or 1991 240SX’s, as well as 1992 240SX convertibles.

just for your everyone’s enquiries
go to [autotrader.com](http://autotrader.com) & type in some zip codes and check out the prices…
I still say that the shit you have to go through is a head-ache so this may be a good alternative

We will likely only bring in “legal” 240’s, as outlined in the RIV document posted above. So as far as I know, the eligible cars are hatches and coupes from '89 and '92-'93, and '93-'94 convertibles.
