What are you talking about?

You can BUY containers for half that. Shipping on a single car from Japan to the Northwest should be no more than 1500-2000 per car, TOPS. Friends have brought cars in through Vancouver BC for 1200 shipped. Mind you were talking about 2-3 cars per container so the cost is split.

When it comes down to bringing cars over, Costs from auction to your home port arent that much. Between a broker, his fees, the car itself, and shipping, expect to pay 600,000yen on a 250,000yen car (including the car). At Canadian ports, pay 6.1% duty and government tax (13%) and you're in! Can't imagine it being much more stateside.
