Be prepared to spend some $$$ if you wanna bring a US car with you.

If you can get it on your orders, shipping will be free, if not you are looking at about $1500 to ship it over here. It will arive and you will have to register it as an "E" plate, which basically makes it impossible to sell to a Japanese person. Annual road tax for an E-plate is about $400 I believe, and your initial inspection will cost anywhere from $1500-2500 depending on a few different things.
