The Pao is fucking cool in person. A NA SR20 would be awesome in one.

I thought they would look shitty in person, and then I happened to find one at a car show is Savannah. I want one.

There’s a Pao down the street from me, and it’s in green which looks really hot.

That’s about what they’re worth. Hagerty has an “Excellent” condition car at $49k and a “Good” at $37k. -5% for the auto. That's for a USDM car, JDM would likely increase the value.

Not for a 1991... A 1994 and after sell for these prices, but not the first ones. And the “JDM” ones, especially with the auto gearbox have no reason to cost more. They are the same car, with the steering on the wrong side. That’s a 25/30k$ car at best... Make it 30+k$ for a manual... But 40k$... meh, nope.

People like JDM because it’s different. And if you can find a $25k car in this condition, you should snap it up immediately and ship it to the US. You’ll make $10k+ in pure profit.

There are tons here really, especially automatics. At auctions they will be bought for 19/20k$ or so... in shops they are sold for 25/26k$...

25k$ with 70000 miles

26k$

http://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/spread…

27k$ with 70000 miles

http://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/spread…

And all these are in shops... they are much cheaper privately and through auctions.

Manual, 100.000 miles sold for 22k$:

I still fail to see why JDM NSX would cost more than USDM though... It’s the same car, just less practical.

I would DD the crap out of a Nissan Pao. Going to the bank drive-thru would be a PITA tho.

It would be worth the trouble.

How do they expect to sell a 3-cylinder Figgy in the US!? All power to them.
