I'm on the hunt for a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Local listings - and by local, I mean 250km radius around Toronto - have dried up. Doesn't seem to be any good prospects out there (other than one that's been sold, and one that is great but has one huge issue).
Yes, I know, Yoda, you don't have to say...

$4k, low mileage, California car.
If teleportation were possible, I'd be visiting that tomorrow.
(car transporter/importer service is $1800-2000, and I need that money to fix critical issues).

It would be way cooler to drive it home yourself! That would be one hell of a road trip through 'Murica

I wonder how much it would cost for gas and motels.
Man that car is so clean I want to buy it now. But I told myself no more cars for now. I'm trying to go all of 2014 without buying a car. I promised myself that I wouldn't even buy a $500 beater.

It looks stupidly clean, but who knows what lurks beneath. A wax and detail when selling a car can often mask issues. But this one is so clean, it's obviously worth a further look: maybe its as clean on the inside, in which case somebodys gonna get lucky and it 'aint me :/

Yeah it might look cleaner than it is.
Or it might be a car that was babied all its life. There are some cool old school people in LA that buy cars and take good care of them so they can drive them for a decade or more. Actually that used to be the norm for German luxury sedans. When I was a kid in the 80s everyone who bought a German sedan babied it and kept it for 10 years or more.
But then the whole leasing fad got huge and now everyone trades their cars in after 3 years.

Not hard, if you consider lots of annoying paperwork hard that you must get absolutely 100% correct hard. Just time consuming and annoying, one reason people often go with importers, who will car transporter it up to you.
May have to "federalize" it, which usually means adding DRLs if the car doesn't have them.
The US market is accessible at the many border points, but I figured that such W124s would face the same challenges as the ones up here: a quarter century of winters and salt. Were I to import from the US, I'd go for a Cali or desert car, and probably pay an importer: but that's about $2000, money I could plow into the car instead. To fix something. Or two somethings.
