Super weird, checked again and the one I was talking about is gone. It was priced extremely well 32K Canadian if I recall correctly. The only one I see now is the one in Quebec for 57K.
I've bought cars in the US before and imported them, but not the other way around. With the US strong dollar, I'd consider this side of the border if I was you.
You have to pay tax for sure, and an AC fee which is around the 200$ mark. You have to show that the car has had all it's recalls performed and that's about it really. I remember afterwards I had to do a inspection to make sure it's "Canadian fit" which was having the speedo changed to km instead of miles which I changed digitally through the settings.

Just thought I would post this one that just popped up if anyone is near Georgia area. Priced well but has an accident on carfax and showed mechanical? damage when i searched the vin and found on this auction site. Somewhat questionable but figured could pass it on to others.

Seemed like a great deal until I noticed the accident on the carfax. Really nothing on the auction site showing any damage and carfax doesnt specify so it's kinda a gamble without being able to inspect in person closely.

Going to call this week on the "new" 5k miles one in New York and give them an offer. Wish I could find a close member that could go check it out. I may look into the one in Canada just worried about all the added fees and logistics. The smart thing to do would wait for a closer one to pop up but what fun would that be.

Does anyone have any production numbers for the Molten RC-F's?
I've seen numbers for the RC-F overall, but never a breakdown by color, much less with performance pack.
Would be interesting to see how many Molten's with PP were actually made.

I think BoostedGS has all of what you are looking for plus, the awesome sounding Novel headers/exhaust. From what I remember, he said he does not drive it much so it has low miles (see 'how many miles you have driven' thread) and has been looking to sell it. Maybe, try PM him.
Edit: Here you go. Look at #77

Just buy mine. I rarely drive it. I drove it for the 1st time in 5.5 months last Friday to the Longo Lexus Friday night meet.

SKGT,
I've seen the one in GA in person and took pictures of the car. IMO the previous owner drove over a curb and down a bank as there is scratches under the car, side skirt lifted up, front bumper damage (lower section) and the rear bumper has scratches. the exhaust tips are also flattened on both sides but I think that is because of a tow truck lifting and pulling as they are pretty evenly bent.
My brother is looking for the same thing you are and that is why I looked so carefully over it.

The dealer on the NY one has called me twice. Haven't gotten back with them yet so maybe they do want to finally move that "new" one. Also saw 1 or 2 pop in Florida that may be worth looking at. I'm not in a rush and hope your brother can snag something good. BoostedGS's car is one of the nicest examples ever.

That one looks well taken care of based on the pictures. The paint looks great. I wish the mileage was a bit lower, 15-20k. Thanks for posting. Are you going to move on the GA car CK?
