its not, probably vin fraud. youd be at risk of having that thing seized and crushed at anytime.

3x what what it would cost to import one too, real bargain!

Depends if it was imported or just a RHD firewall swap.

i remember a yellow nsx with that same bodywork with a rebuilt title several years back being sold at a burnaby used car lot on edmonds. could this be the same one? i remember people saying the conversion was a total hack job...

edit: is this it? but i not see a window for the engine bay like the green one has...

It looks fking hideous., especially with the color. Please send it down to the states. It's more fitting for them.

It was actually my cousin, he sold it within 20 mins of posting it, some dude brought a trailer from Calgary and took it last night. I was pretty surprised, $15500

^ great catch Thumper, I didn't even know they existed, plus he's got collector plates:) that's a great price!

thumper 02-01-2016 08:16 AM

looking at the wheel arch extensions and the license plate brackets it's from japan not germany? sadly someone jacked the badge on the hatch and it could use a good detail, but the photos are datestamped june 2015. other than that.. i don't know much about these :confused:

Still probably imported from Japan even if it's originally from Europe.

Yup, JDM import. There are holes drilled for the Japanese plate on either side of the BC plate holes. I've had to drill those many a time on my imports.

Love my wagons! This thing is pretty cool I must say, very rare. Probably a bitch to work on though; Mercs are not tinker-friendly. Ask me how I know. BabyRage

Damn. I stand corrected! Well when you have a nice example, makes sense. I remember when I listed my R32 GTR over 6 years ago, pretty much the same thing happened, guy came down from Fort Mac and drove it back. Those 'bertans got money.

like everyone else, it's possible he's trying to profit from the exchange rate and sell it to the US?

westopher 02-02-2016 05:25 AM

I think it probably cost too much to be very profitable to begin with, and the price in USD is quite reasonable. I have no idea what he paid for it though. Could have got it cheaper than market value.
