If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. If the site were legit, then its possible the car may only cost 5k, but the actual process of importing cars takes a lot of money and especially if they're not on the approved list. Expect to pay 10k+ on top. There's also a very high chance that the car won't even make it off the lot, if it was brought over without the proper paperwork.

Can your RX7 be legally imported to the United States and be registered for street use in all 50 states?
