105 series in the USA? (1HZ with turbo and manual gear)

[erez]

Hi,

Do these exist in the USA ?

A company I work with has, in the US, in a container, a 2005 105 series, 1HZ with turbo engine, manual gear. The vehicle is completely new with almost zero kms on it. It hasn't been registered/licensed in the US (not sure if it needs to be).

I have 2 questions:

Do these vehicles exist in the US, is there a demand for them?

How much would such a vehicle cost there - whether for driving purposes or for parts.

Thanks a lot,

Erez

They are not legal to import in the US for some reason, there are a few (3-4), that are road legal in the US. I'm sure with lots of paper work it can be done, let's see some photos. Sounds like a nice rig

LHD or RHD?
Tough to say but my guess would be $30k because it is not registered in any State. If it was registered and LHD, I'd say $40-45k.

Only ones in the US are gray market or diplomat imports.

But... yes there is a demand.... just no supply.
