Default HELP: Choosing ANY Jap Export

HeY. It's kind of a long story but my REALLY GOOD friend is going to hook me up with any 03' or older Japanese car for $2000. She said she'll buy 2 or 3 for herself.
Now, I wasn't really thinking since I don't really know all the details about it, but I will in about 2 weeks.
I was thinking of every good Japanese car and came to: G35Coupe, Integra-R, SC430, NSX.
The thing is, I just remembered that they don't have those luxury brands in Japan so NOW i'm stuck. and I also don't know WHAT they have in stock.
I searched about what they had and my choices are:
1. Honda NSX 2. Honda Integra Type-R 3. Nissan Skyline (I don't know what year it is though) 4. Nissan Fairlady Z 5.Toyota Supra 6. Mazda RX-7 7. Toyota Altezza
So my question is, 1. do those Japanese exports make any luxury type car..THEY DONT HAVE g35coupes n' SC430's???? and which car do you think I should get..I want to go with the NSX but I want a 4 seater.
2. What other things do I have to go through once I have a Japanese car? and what will be different besides right-side driving..cause $2,000 sounds good but wouldn't I have to pay more for tests n' legalization type things?
(Sry, i don't know bout this stuff because this will be my first car)

Thank You!

h: h:

what the hell are you talking about. there is no way you are going to get any of those cars for $2,000. well maybe if they are stripped and wrecked.

also, the G35 coupe in america is the stripped down version of the Nissan Skyline. Infinity is owned by Nissan just like Acura is owned by Honda. Also, your Toyota Altezza is a Lexus IS300 here in the states(Lexus is owned by Toyota).

go do some research before posting noob :slap: :slap: :slap:

hey man. welcome to HAN.
all the cars you listed are high end rides. Most of us would love em, but it aint gonna happen right now. If someone were to buy you are really expensive car, and don't get me wrong but you seem like you may be a little young, it wouldn't seem too cool to those of us who work 40 + hours a week.
Those guys weren't hating on you or bashing you, its just that...... ah screw it do your thing bro.
