If Trump removed the 25 year restriction on imported cars, would you support him?

I know that feel bro. The '08 election happened during my senior year of high school and I turned 18 just a few months prior. I fell for all of the liberal propaganda despite living in a very red state. They manipulated our little minds with their race based bullshit. The next time around I wised up, supported Ron Paul (even volunteered at one of his speeches and got to go back stage and shake his hand), but when he didn't get the nomination my vote went 3rd party to Gary Johnson.

Why would increased supply drive up the price? They already price gouge with the legally imported cars.

It won't happen though. Trump is a corporate shill who only cares about money. And money is the problem here. The 25 year law was put into effect specifically so Mercedes would stop losing money hand over fist to private importers.

retarded question, 4chan already supports trump and president's can barely do anything to make or change existing law so even if Trump, Bernie, Hilary (or whoever is left on the Republican fence) made their campaign about preserving your shitbox, drag strip and race track while also allowing total freedom to import any cool car in the world, any such proposed legislation would never get past the sissy nannies on the left who are afraid of driving and pollution or the nitwits on the right because it's not related to creating more debt by spending on spying on our citizens/fighting terrorism/national defense

Are you an idiot? Trump is the LAST person who would change the import restrictions. If anything, he'd make the restrictions stricter. He wants to reduce our importing, and will raise the tariff on imported goods.

Meh it was a dark time but the second hand market is still good. There's also still rich pickings in japland.

Why don't you guys import jdm before the 25 year rule, garage the car, then wait it out to register it? You'd surely be saving a shit ton before ricer tax kicks in and get to stop another X years of the car rotting away somewhere.

literally will not work. It's been tried. So long as it's in the country, they will find it, seize it, and crush it. It's been done numerous times.

Fuck Mercedes, if they had sold the models that people actually want here in the US, then they wouldnt have imported them in the first place.

I know that feel bro. The '08 election happened 10 years after I had graduated high school and I turned 28 earlier that year. I saw all the liberals falling for the hope and change rhetoric, they never stopped to ask what would we be hoping for, what was going to be changed. Every day was like being dragged over hot coals, over and over again about Obama was going to fix everything. Months before the actual election I completely lost faith in humanity. Then it was 4 years of 'you could have prevented this', then what did they do, THEY ELECTED THE FUCKER AGAIN!!!

You fags do realize those JDM cars will be expensive as fuck if the 25 year law is toned down to 10-15 years.

You can hope and pray for it all you want, but 'muh jdm civic' is still gonna pop up on craigslist for $30,000. And good luck finding a Skyline GTR under $50,000.

Honestly mates you'd probably be better off with a Toyobaru. The modding scene for those cars is already good and they'll be classics 10-20 years from now.

japan drives on the right side of the road faggot. do you know how expensive a conversion would be? they would quickly abolish RHD legality in your country. in australia you're allowed to import rare american cars and keep them stock LHD but only if it's basically the only one in the state.

It does seem pretty stupid.
The market was sending them a big, fuck-off signal that Americans wanted to buy euro-spec mercs, you think they would have taken the hint, bring them to the US and make lots of money.

There has to be something wrong if you actually want to prevent people buying your shit instead of selling it yourself.
>>
>>14984190
It wasn't that people wanted euro-spec Mercs. The Mercs people were buying were identical to the ones offered stateside. So why the private importing? Because, in the end, it was $10,000 cheaper (1980's money mind you. A lot more today) to buy the same car in Germany and have it privately imported to America.

Mercedes was price-gauging the fuck out of the American market. The market caught on and found a solution. The law put in place was Mercedes saying "Fuck you, pay OUR prices to buy it in YOUR country."
>>
>>14984306
In any sane country, Mercedes would lower their prices, not pay politicians to implement a retarded law. 10/10 Murrica, good job.

point is, there arnt many of them about. they would be <1% of cars on the road. I've seen two or three in my life. amerifat is lhd, australia and japan is rhd. importing cheap cars from japan makes sense in australia. not so much in america.
