but that car is still in Japan. I don't know if the seller knows the details of shipping and getting it street-legal.....

I think that guy just thinks its legal because there's GS300/400/430 in US, so it's the same car and must be legal. And I don't think he has included the conversion fees along with the documentation cost.
no because US law allows RHD vehicles. It's just that no one makes them that way

In a few weeks Guam will have the first Aristo V300 TT. One of the Lexus technician recent went to Japan to get training on the 2004 RX330 purchased a 98 Aristo TT for about $20K with some modification already done to the car. If he is able to get it to Guam it should be very easy getting it to US.
Will be quite interesting seeing a right hand steering car.
Maybe one way is to purchase the Aristo from Japan, ship it to Guam, register it with motor vehicle and then ship it to US.

A '98 GS300 with mileage like that(11k miles[18k km]) and all those options would retail for around $25,000. This guy has a buy it now of $27,000(although the car will most likely sell for less). That means for $2k you get the 2JZ-GTE VVT-I(which did not even come on the '97-'98 US spec Supra turbos) and bypass installation costs!!!!! $1400 from there and that car is hitting 430RWHP :eek: As far as the US street conversion goes if he has not already done it he should plan on doing so because if someone purchases the vehicle he could be legally forced to pay for it.
