Starting bid is 1.6 million yen. Before anyone asks, that will end up being 30K + any repairs and rego etc, so about $35K.

But well worth the money. If I had a spare 35 I would buy it and leave it in the garage until 20 more years pass.

I'd buy that widebody with 1500kms on it for 20-22K and then mod it into a gullwing. :D

love the translation...

Car species name: Star Lyon

The section photograph and because it is UP schedule separately, thrusting vehicle details to the watch, check you ask patiently.

apparently it has a tv according to the list of details?
Then again it also says it's diesel...

oh, and 1.6mil yen is (approx.) $20,079.70 AUD

and so far no other bids :D

You're a sucker if you pay $20k for it. Toysrus could get it $7k.

What you are failing to calculate is the other costs involved. $20K to buy it, plus 5% yahoo tax, plus shipping and FOB charges in Japan. Then there is the shipping to Australia, then 10% import duty, 10% GST, and also some compliance costs, then rego. Plus it has a few things that need to be fixed, so it will end up costing $35k on the road.

Yeah I reckon we could talk it down to $5k. Might cost a bit more in New Zealand though.
