It is definitely a steep price. But consider the following:

- Shipping cost is about 1400usd? I forgot.
- Duties when it enters Canadian port
- Auction house commission
- Port fees in Japan and Vancouver
- Provincial inspection (possibly a shady pass lol)

$300CAD car can be around $2500 or so. My numbers may be wrong though, it's been a while lol
