Why would you give us the Le Car, keep this for yourselves, and then wonder why Americans won't buy French cars? We would, if you just gave us 5 Turbos and SMs & DSs and not just LeCars and Alliances!

How much would it cost to purchase and import. I'm doing it.

Honestly I have no idea. I think the price of buying one in really good condition is in the mid to high $30k range, maybe more, and I have no idea what importing would cost. Sorry!

Thanks! I guess it's time to do some investigation. The e30 m3 is great and all but I'd rather shell out more for this unique piece of batshitcrazy.

No problem. The one pictured above has actually been in my family's shop a few times (CT reppin). Its absolutely insane in all the best possible ways. I would love to be able to get my hands on one eventually.

To me the french are clearly the best when they're putting engines everywhere but at the front of the car.

The only few I could find on Le Bon Coin (the french Craigslist) are at 39k€ for the cheapest one ($53k), then you have one at 60k€ ($80k) and one for a whopping 100k€ (so that's almost $140k).

Holy crap... I was basing my estimate on a BaT article from last year. There was one in Cali for sale in the high $30k range, plus I found a Turbo 2 in the UK for £32k but I'm so used to converting Euros that I forgot the pound was worth about $.30 more. (32k in Euros would have been around $43k, vs $53k when converting from the British Pound) Oops. I was also not going the race car route. Ahaha.

Sidenote: Le Bon Coin is a way better name than Craigslist.
