You're shipping your LHD LS430 to Japan?
Isn't it cheaper to buy one there?

Cool car

There was an ebay link ages ago here in Australia... apparently an old school Celica for sale, like a 70's model... it was never sold! It still had the plastic on the seats and everything! I think the end auction price was about the AUD$30K mark from memory?
