German's: is this idea rational?

[ColdAccord]

I'm curious if this is doable. When I finally finish my undergrad (year and a half away, since I changed majors etc) I'd like to go to europe and just travel for a few months. I would ideally like to buy an e30m3 vert and drive it on my travels, then ship it to canada when I come back.

Would I be able to register a car in germany without residency there? Is there any way around it?

Also, for a few hundred bucks or something, would anyone be willing to scout e30m3 verts so I could get it when I got there? I'd pay a finders fee of course.

ha first good luck on the vert finding, and second of all, you would have to be a citizen and have a residence. thats the only way I know. or, OR have a US DoD card, and register under USAEUR lol.

Supposivly to a few sources I've just now read there were ~786 E30 M3 cabriolets ever produced. That is a really small number. Good luck dude. Don't be afraid to write a big check.

There are only like 2 on e30-talk.com so I am going to go out on a limb and say you are going to have to murder some 40 year old and talk his wife into selling it to you.

Good luck..

damn, maybe I'll just buy a fake then

[grapedrink]

Or just get the one on ebay right now :)

[ColdAccord]

Tourist Visa and awork permit, will allow you to work in the country and possibly get tags. You can ship a car there and drive over there with US tags for upto 90 days on an international license.

[ColdAccord]

hmm, maybe I'll just search for a while for an Alfa Romero GTV. I LOVE those cars, maybe they're cheaper in Europe. I wonder if they even have Left hand drive ones out there





or maybe I'd try to think of something else cool, i really want a convertable something

Yes. I was thinking this exact thing. Good luck with the ///M3 'vert. Just find a Sport Evo or Evo II. Much better in terms of "man" status and easier to find from what I see in the EUro Classifieds.

[ColdAccord]

yea there are like 100 people in line to buy that thing. lol, sorry I could never ever sell it. When I talk about buying a new car, it's in addition to the cars I have now lol.

but it's a ways away, I can't buy cars for a while. I'm about to buy a house with a 3 car garage that would already be full

[CleanAzzE30z]
