What is the realistic total cost to import a JDM car?

A realistic budget for a complete JDM import includes: auction purchase price, Japanese auction fees and broker fee ($500-$2,000), Japan domestic transport to port ($200-$400), ocean freight ($1,200-$3,000), US customs and port fees ($300-$800), transport to your door ($300-$800), and initial maintenance/registration ($500-$2,000). Add 25-35% on top of the car's hammer price to estimate true landed cost before any repairs or modifications.
