I bought it in an auction in Japan (wholesale price) $7k CAD; after brokerage, shipping, customs, tax, inspection, etc it's around $11.5k CAD. 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
