Importing Cars From Japan

I've decided I need another E70 in my life. I live in South Korea and shipping from the US to S.K. is ridiculous.

Is there a sane/easy way to find/buy these cars in Japan? I don't speak a word of Japanese, unfortunately.

What is an E70, exactly?

As far as finding & buying cars in Japan, they have plentiful auction sites and dealers much like we do. They're fun to look at sometimes. Buying? Fluent Japanese is probably a good start, or there are agent$ that can usually help or handle the whole process. No idea on shipping or importing into Korea, though.

From what I remember - a couple of people I know in the UK imported cars from Japan as a hobby - you'll need a buyer's agent locally anyway who has both access to the auctions (most cars in Japan are sold via auction) and can take care of the deregistration in Japan and the shipping at their end.

To the OP... tried looking up all the different configurations of xE7x on Yahoo Japan???

i have a broker in Japan he brought my JDM 510 into the country and he is working on two more cars for me. 1972 GT-R and 1984 200sx rsx. he has shipped another car for a friend. the best way is thru someone in the military that is how my skyline got into the states.

he was born here in the states but has lived in Japan for 20+ years speaks and writes perfect English if you want to PM me your email i will give it to him. he is not fast he has another job and family he does this as a hobby but he stays in touch and he knows what he is looking at. but even in Japan these cars are becoming rare that are unmolested
