What? and what?
A 94 has all the good revisions of problems made in 93. A 94 w/ 50k that runs great and is unmolested is in fact worth ~$14-15k. If that seems like a lot, or is a big deal to you, perhaps you should DoRifto a 240sx, they're much cheaper.
Import one and import for $14k?! HAHAHHAHAH good one.

So my other option is to import an Fd an convert it which is 14k. which should I go with? 
I'm with Phoenix. Even if it is legally possible, it's hard to imagine that you can import a 'quality' low mileage 94 FD into the states... pay for the car, shipping, duties, inspections, insurance etc etc. and then get it converted from RHD to LHD anywhere near $14k.

Yea, and you'd prolly opt for 99+ or a SpiritR/BathurstR etc too!
The post just sounds like me 5 years ago when I was bitchin about Supra prices because I wanted one with a $5k pocket.

Honestly? My '93 has 70k on the clock and I wouldn't take a penny under $18,000 for it. Not one cent.
Your's isn't exactly stock though....still a georgious MBM!
I've seen your car pop up in some car compilation videos with supra's and such...it's cool to represent the FD's in it with such a nice example, its my favorite part of one vid i have

I think 14K for a good quality FD with low milage is a good price. When I was looking this summer that sounds about what I was finding. I bought a 93 R1 with 120k, turbos and motor rebuilt at 100k, and wheels and some bolt-ons for $10,500. It wasn't perfect, but the cost to fix what isn't perfect versus what came with the car was worth it to me. The milage was a concern, but I didn't have $15,000 at the time. The car has been great so far. So $14,000 for a quality car is a good price.
