Importing
This has probably been covered before I imagine, but I'm not particularly keen on wading through 4000+ posts to find it.

Re: Importing
bout 10 grand plus to get an ok FTO...thats just the auction price. Don't forget u need to get compliance, shipping costs, import duty, agent commission, rego blah blah blah. All up I'd say 16-18k to bring one over. With that cash i can buy off Ftosam's turbo...nicely done up for u with cash to spare. Save the trouble and and get one here.

Re: Importing
Use the search function on the top bar in the middle.
Short answer - Don't bother importing one, it'll cost you double what you'd pay for a car here. Even though you may be able to get much lower kms importing, not worth price / effort, especially if you don't have experience or knowledge about importing.
Just wait for one for lower Kms.

If you can import a Galant over for a tad over 10k i can't see why he couldn't do the same for an FTO

Re: Importing
There were a heap of cheap FTO's on Yahoo auction...
Bang for buck, the quality you will get from there will outweigh what is in Aus $ for $ ... Look at the 2 we found Lawso ..
