23:27 I remember these when I was growing up in the early 90's. Can't remember if it was marketed as a Tercel or a Corolla but they were pretty decent for what they were. Definitely gave the 80's gen Subaru's a run for their money.

That was me talking about the Type X Tail Lights. In Australia we where only allowed to Import the Later model Type X 180's with the Twin late model tail lights. So as far as i knew, if it didnt have those tail lights, it wasnt a Type X, as sooooo many cut and shut dodgy 180's claimed to be back in the day here in Australia. My bad Spencer

You could not be more wrong about the SUV/Truck market here in the states. ESPECIALLY old Land Cruisers (FJ60/62s sell for $25-30k here in Seattle all day long). My neighbor across the street just got a sweet early 90s 4WD Toyota van for around $11-12k and of course Delicas are a rare exotic sight along with the kei trucks for in-town driving. The market hasn’t really developed around here for the Chaser/Soarer/X-Chassis (yet) but I’m sure it will be blowing up very soon. Seattle is a VERY promising market for JDM imports, especially anything 4WD w/diesel. I had one of those 4WD Toyota Tercels (the Carib you looked at). It was a very high-quality-built car but the deal breaker was the 60 or so hp 3-AC engine. 1452cc of pure nothing doing. I killed 2 of those gutless mills until my mom had pity on me and sold me her 3-yr-old Outback, which felt like a space ship compared to the Tercel on my trip back to school. The Tercel 4WDs are longitudinally mounted so you could do an easy engine swap considering it was (mine was an ‘87 model) carbureted. Cheers and good luck in the import biz!

I think there's a huge market for the low mile sedans/VIP cars. All of the LS400's in the states have either been beat on by teenagers or have 200k+ miles. Also anything AWD will sell in the PNW.

The hardtop on the Supra is what will help it sell the most. You're right that NA+Auto is the least valuable. I've had 3 Supras since 1999 and will always have one in my garage. My 1998 was just the feature/cover car for the Sept 2019 issue of DSport magazine. Maybe I'll have the R34 shipped to the Defend USA location and grab it from you there.
