+ getting it to port / de-registered / into a container was another 100,000jpy + shipping (about $2500 to my door in Ottawa Canada) + Duty of 6.1% + taxes of 13% + registration + fees to the importer......... = You can sometimes find AZ1's cheap (ish) in Japan (around 600,000jpy) but they are usually pretty rough. Then you gotta factor whatever costs to get it into your hands)

Honda Beat's sell WAY cheaper in Japan for a nice one, just because there were so many of them sold and because it has the least cache. Like I'm talking ........low mileage / grade 4 or 4.5 Beat's.....that sell in the 500,000JPY range. Cappuccino's aren't so cheap though. The Cappuccino market has been exploding (high) for good ones. I turned one down a couple weeks ago that was shady and sold for 1,000,000 jpy. And the really really good cappuccinos are fetching upwards of 1,400,000jpy (which on its own isn't horrible, but then you still have to get it in your hands) The dude who imported my AZ1, will soon be putting another one (blue) for sale on BringAtrailer.com. Its actually cleaner than mine in some ways. Shoot him an email craig@bonsairides.com

I remember the Midget II from Grand Turismo 2 on the PlayStation. We modified it as much as possible in that game... and it was still extremely slow haha.
That red car though... more pics of that please. It's so bizarre and awesome at the same time.

How's it work to have an imported car licensed in Ontario? I'm curious about what goes into that and with e testing?

Yeah, I don’t like having the exact same thing as everyone else
Yup, everyone loves the red one Quote:
Quote:
As long as its 15 years or older and it has basic safety equipment (lights / seat belts etc….) its acceptable. Basically you could pretty much license ANYTHING as long as it had lights + turn signals + seatbelts Actually that’s part of the reason I took so long to find one, because I prefer them without the wing. Several of them came up for auction which were actually pretty good cars but they all had some form of either the oem or an aftermarket wing.
