My GTB was written off about a month ago, and I needed something with better mileage, so... 
Now the piecing together begins, again.

They typically sell in Japan for $12k to $22k at the lots (add shipping, fees, etc). In Canada/US they're worth $15k to $20+k US (if the car has already been imported), but you never see them for sale as there's probably under a dozen in N.America. Price will spike up at the end of the year when it's legal to import to US. New they were sold for $15k, today in good condition they average the same price @ $15k.
I looked at it this way: the price will remain the same or most likely rise up. If I sell the car in 5 years I would have driven the car for free for 5 years (or gain a profit). It's kind of like an alternative savings account

$600/year for a full practice membership, which means I can show up to the track any day of the week, and just race.. Except race event weekends. But even after 6 sessions you get your money back, since daily practice passes are $75/day + tax.. No to mention tires are only $250 a set and they last way longer than any other vehicle/larger motorcycle.
The initial cost is quite high in the beginning but after a few years, you'll just be paying for memberships and tires.
I'm super hooked into it right now, having an absolute blast.. I will be out there next weekend rain or shine.. Lukily when I bought my bike used it came with 2 sets of rims, slicks and rains. I had to swap the slicks as the category i'm racing doesn't allow them.
