Cars I Wouldn’t Mind Importing from Euroland

I just killed an hour looking at Euro car sites and a few cars jumped out at me that we don’t get here or are fairly rare in the states that seem to be decently common in Europe and quite affordable:

- W124 Coupe with a stick. Legendary reliability, good looks, and nice interiors.

- 320i E36 wagons. They are going to be importable soon and the engine has a bit more oomph than the base E30 wagons while being a lot cheaper. This thing has reasonable mileage and they are asking 1000 euros:

- Alfa Romeo Alfetta; just nifty looking cars that I almost never see for sale in the states.

- Impreza GT. We never got the WRX it similar turbo Imprezas but Europe did.

- Audi Coupe Quattro- I think the S2s are pretty unobtainable at this point but their little siblings which are rare over here look pretty common across the pond.

I think if I were actually going to bother with shipping something over I’d have to make it a non-US car like the E36 Touring. But maybe I could do a container that fits two and sneak a Coupe Quattro in.

W124 Coupe with a stick.

Did this ever came in AMG-Porsche 500E versions? Or was that sedan-only?

Only sedans, and they were all automatic.

Those E36s are still quite common and unlike E30 Tourings still quite cheap. The E30 Touring soldiered on until 1994, with the E36 Touring only arriving in 1995, so you’ll need to have some patience though.

Why are there 5 white MAN and Mercedes trucks from the 1980s in the background?

I don’t know about the pic, it is straight from the ad.

I should have specified cars *I could afford* from euroland.
