Yup it could get very expensive for a Jap import. Here is the thing...
As with Evos and WRXs, Because they are so expensive in Australia, they are babied, regularly serviced and well maintained. Jap imports in NZ because they are so cheap have been owned by several owners, thrashed, not maintained, overall quality is close to rubbish. Add the piling cost of repairs to an NZ Ex-Japan GT-Four + the cost and hassle of getting your car over there, Living and working in NZ on our lower wage economy for a whole year.. You start to see where this will add up, Now how much does an Aus-spec GT-Four Group A Rallye go for? Or even an Ex-Japan GT-Four previously imported directly to Australia? These will be in far superior condition mechanically, not to mention the Aus-spec is a WRC special edition. -------------------- Mike W
