I can make that happen easily if you want :)

Shipping cars around the world from here is my day job :)

That sounds awesome, is it a stock exhaust?  

Flavien Vidal > TA4K 04/16/2017 at 19:57

I can have one shipped for around 4000$ if you want... Shipping to your country included. You’d have to import it though...

Nope, not stock... Stock does sound good too but it’s not as loud.

Ahem, I mean, ITB’s and high performance through light weight and other manly platitudes.

(It’s both)

At that price I’m seriously thinking about one. I need to get a better winter vehicle first, though...

When my Accent kicks the bucket I would seriously consider importing something as a year-round DD from you....it’ll be awhile before the Accent goes down though!

Why not having a Beat for winter?? It works great in the snow actually :)

Aren’t you in QC? If so, you can’t get RHD cars that aren’t 25 year old. And insurance will be a massive pain lol.

Nova Scotia - any RHD rides will be a pain for insurance, but we can get anything 15 years old or older with no issues.

You’re fine then... pretty practical too as Halifax is one of the rare Ro-Ro capable port in Canada and the only one in eastern Canada...

Yup! And I am only 50 minutes away and the port was near my old stomping grounds from university!

I just see a yellow car ruining a historic street view.

I would love one, but there is no way I would fit.

I need to have the disposable income first...but Honda beat’s go for what, 10k USD?

TA4K > Flavien Vidal 04/16/2017 at 22:24

Is that to New Zealand? Presumably in USD?

Flavien Vidal > TA4K 04/16/2017 at 22:47

Yeah it would work to NZ too... And yes it’s in USD.

My friend is 6'3 and I’m 6'2. Could be more problematic if you are very fat, but if you’re just tall, it won’t be a problem at all. Even Clarkson fit in one so...

Oh no... a lot less than that... Super nice ones around 6000$ shipping to the Us included. Nice ones with higher mileage, around 5000$. Ones in perfect mechanical condition but with little imperfections here and there (no rust or anything, but faded paint on the bumper for exemple or something liek that) would go for 4000$. Currently have one that I sold to a customer for 3800$, shipping to Georgia included.

I’ll have good pictures of it along with a video tomorrow but it’s this one...

He is a good customer and I would normally sell this one 4500$ but he does get a little discount for it because he buys lots of cars from me.

Then maybe you should try this?

...dammit that is much more affordable than I ever expected

Please please please. I need more Beat in my life. I could have bought one 15 years ago in Japan, but I ended up with something a little more sensible (and more powerful, although that wouldn’t be hard). I still want to buy one, but the tiny morsel of good sense I have left tells me that I should really have a garage (or a large cupboard) to put it in. Thanks for sharing!
