Yup Frostee you hit the spot. It does cost alot. An average freight container can cost up to 5g's depending. I even heard of it going as low as 2g's. Now the bigger the more expensive. In the biggest containers you can fit in 4 compact cars. But you have to remember when you bring over a car from japan:#1 it has to be used. #2 it has to be at least 2 years old. And once you got it over, you have to install new cats on it, if you want it to be street legal. And then you have to register it at the DMV, get it smogged. So on and so forth. And since its used, its not worth bringing over. You can get a used 8 here in the states no problem. Unless the car is for purely track use its not worth it.

If you really want to import a Japanese car you might be better off looking for one of those as the price should be low enough to counter the costs of shipping and modification.

Exporting the car is a lot less though because they need a way to get the containers overseas somehow so they basically sell it at cost..
