Americans...I'm sorry. Listen up. Ok lets say I come down to the U.S to pay $6000 for a perfect Form or Z ok? I'd have to pay thousands of border tax dollars, not to mention gas money. Lets think guys. Canada doesn't have as many cars as the You Ess of EH! EH! Lets think before we post guys.

I just bought a 96 formula black 6sp w/ 30k on it for 7000 out the door. Sure it has a blown headgasket but thats not too hard to fix.

This is true I had a guy come from canada to illinois to get a 30th ss i advertised on ebay. He said hes seen one other one there thats it

The whole door shell/skin is composite material... I'm wondering how did it have rust on it?

southern/western rust free car = worth the extra money.

You guys sound like my friends... A TA like my (95/96) with about same miles sell for 20-23k euros, so thats about $28,000 (and some friends think Im joking) ... I dont know the exact number of how many 4th gen TAs are here, if I had to guess Id say 20 or less, but could be as high as 30-35.

I meant my car here (in Finland) is worth that much and that my friends (in the states) dont believe the value of it here... Not a bad price on your car, but with taxes and shipping, etc... it all comes out to be alot.

your car isn't worth more, it just costs more becuase of availability. Bring it here and it's worth $7000, like the others.
Don't you guys have like some crazy 200% tarriff on imported stuff like cars?

Sorry but Im not following your line of thinking... (no offense however).

This is how I see it:

People always say "oh its worth more, but I just sold it for less" and others reply "its worth what you got for it...". Another way to think about it is a Hemi Cuda over there, its worth that much because its rare... Cars are, in my opinion at least, worth what they sell for. And over here, again in my opinion, Trans Ams are worth what they sell for (over here).

But then again I could be wrong, not trying to fight or anything just owell... Shouldnt have even brought up the whole thing:/

that price is really high. You might pay that for a low mileage WS-6 of that same year, but just a formula, that is really high
