1.2 million JPY, so by my estimate with container shipping about $17,000 CAD landed in Vancouver. More costs to get it on the road and shipped to where you are located

Even though buying that would be SO much better than a new Civic or Hyundai at $20,000 the deals aren't as great as they used to be in Japan. Seems like more people are catching on.

My understanding is that we have the Europeans to blame. We had a few years where the Euro was down and the CAD was much stronger (in comparison to the Euro), so we got some good deals. Even though the JPY vs CAD wasn't great when I bought my B8 in 2011 I still got a much better deal than the current prices even though the CAD is stronger now vs the JPY.

If I had the money, I would have boughten that car. Its worth it for your "dream" car, for which the B12 LWB is for me. I dont want a Lambo or Bentley, I want the B12 LWB.

I also truly believe that some of the best cars made came out of the 1990's.
