Haha, i figured it wouldn't be cheap. I don't know if you guys knew this but it will be my daily driver and it will have to survive through college so I am lookin for low-miles/manual/hatch and that is all that I really care about. I was lookin into a ford focus but my dad is a massive ford hater and chevy lover (I am kinda the same way). I figured the chevy aveo is kinda like the ford focus. They are listed everywhere on the net but I went to a couple dealer ships to do some measurements and nobody had one in the lot. I must keep tryin .

If you are looking for an SPL, just go all out and get a Panda . You could get a Panda payed for and over here for less than what you are willing to spend.

Thats crazy! The wheel is on the right side. Is that legal to drive in the USA?? Does that price include shipment and everything????

My price was just lowered today also. My dad pays my insurance () and he said if i had a 7000 dollar car that I would need full coverage and we can't afford that. So now I am in the $4,000 range (and bring the mileage up). Here is the list of cars that I found (no specific order):


99 Mercery Cougar $4500, 101k miles

Wow, that is kick ***. I would be extremely interested if it wasn't for the fact that my dad is a doosch bag about my future car. He won't even let me get a rear wheel drive car (even though my blazer is rear wheel drive, but I do have to admit that I would have way to much fun in a small rear wheel drive car) so I am guessing that having the steering wheel on the opposite side is out of the question. But that would be kick ***. Id love to stand out that much.

jordy, you do know almost every JDM importer includes the import fee etc,

only thing is that is a Automatice crx, but its still a good price, with under 70k on it..
That CRX would not be worth it for SPL purposes.....

They have a back seat... which negates the benefit of a CRX
