Imports

[Conbon]

I was reading an article in banzai magazine the other day whare it said something about the amount of japanese domestic cars bieng exported out of japan.
Aparently theres been so much exporting over seas that the older more popular models such as the toyota levens and the silvias are beginning to become scarce around japan.
obviously this is bad news for the japs as the old classics are becoming harder to find there and also bad for us as the price of a nice clean imported silvia corolla goes up.
I just want to know what are your opinnions on this matter.

It creates a good export market for anyone who owns such a model.

if they didnt keep them for themselves then they wouldnt be scarse

good news for the jap who hangs on to his car for a little longer,
i know exactly what your saying though

a 1990 box shape civic sir will now cost you an arm and a leg to get from japan, you could buy almost 2 type r civics for the cost of the boxy, in saying that if you have 1 of these boxys, dont sell it, another 5 years and you will get more for it

gauranteed to be a classic, and from what i heard a good condition 1 will be as fast as the type r
