Damn that's pricey...
 

For anyone that thinks $25k for a 200hp car is expensive, here's a JDM 86 in Hokkaido for 2.8 million Yen, or ~$35,000 :eyebulge:

And it's got some ugly aftermarket NAV/head unit too.

What I'm reading says $40,200.00

NVM...

Cars in japan cost more? :iono:

Fixed it for you. Yes, it's weird.

Isn't the GT Limited Spec equivalent to the BRZ Limited model? (It's also white & Auto ;) That automatically racks up a few grand more...)

If so... It makes sense why it's way above the 25K mark... Nothing to be surprised about.

When shipped to the U.S. they do!:confused0068:(ask my Skyline)

Most likely due to the difference in the japanese vs. usa currency rates.

Guys, is that a surprise for you that cars in the US is cheaper than anywhere else in the world? E.g. all german brand cars are 20-50% more expensive in Germany than in the US: Boxer starts at circa. $50k in the US and about the same 50k but Euro in Germany. I Am not mentioning Norhern Europe or Russia (add another 20-40%) or Singapore: GT 86 costs there $150k or so.

A year ago I badly wanted to by a Camaro here but can't justiy paying over $80k for something what costs $35 in the US :(

So, guys, be happy and enjoy (but don't forget to pay your incomet tax ;))!

Yeah, I find it funny that the numbers on the sales tag on cars in the U.K. are pretty spot on identical to our price tags... except that little "£" that comes before theirs kinda makes them more expensive by about 50%!!!

Of course, the flip side of that is that most of Europe and Japan have excellent public transportation systems, so owning a car is a luxury. In most parts of America, if you don't have a car, you pretty much can't exist. :(

it looks like a BRZ with the fog lights, dual climate control, red stitching on the parking brake, and heated seats, but it has the 86 badges on the sides, toyata badging, and a FRS bumper.

its like they took a BRZ and FRS then blended it together and this is what you get.

the price is worth having the best of both worlds and its RHD.

This. I would gladly take public transportation to get to work and keep a sports car for strictly fun driving if I could... Keep the mileage and wear down, and keep my sanity! It's disgusting how much traffic there is trying to get into Boston in the morning, and I don't even work in the city but the highway starts to back up one exit before I get off... the other poor bastards still have 15 miles of stop-and-go to deal with!

Or it just the Japan GT limited spec (like the ad says).

The exact same spec can be had in Australia for $42k.

even after the "big dig" place is still a ''toilet"
to drive around in!
