Default Anybody want to buy a Mugen RR?

I was browsing YJA and found this Mugen RR for sale. According to the link, only 300 were made and somebody who bought one (the one in the link) wants to resell for money. Oh, he said he can ship internationally.

Current price is 4,700,000 yen (~ $47,453.18). Japanese Yen is increasing in value.

Use google translator.

beautiful!

we sold 2 mugen SIs at our dealership to the same family. next door also has a mugen SI. not as nice as the RR, but it's as good as you can get stateside. looks much better in person than in all of the pics most have seen online.

Gorgeous car. I just couldn't throw down that much money.

BTW: Japanese Yen isn't increasing in value, it's the U.S. dollar that's decreasing in value. Travel outside of the U.S. and you're find out. The British pound is over double the U.S. dollar. Thank our fearless leader, Georgie Boy!!

The Yen is increasing value relative to the US dollar is what I meant. I know the USD is decreasing. But the USD relative to the GBP is slightly increasing where the GBP used to be 1 GBP per 2.1 USD, now it's more like 2 USD. The CAD used to be worth more than the USD is now slightly under.

For the money and without the hassle of using a registered importer and paper work.

If you had the cash you could easily import any new JDM civic, swap over all the domestic safety and emissions equipment from a salvaged Si pass inspection, then swap it back. Or import one thru mexico as a non resident car and once a year drive it over the mexican border and bring it back.

Instead of arguing with me, just believe it.


the mugen RR has a mostly carbon front end and aluminum hood. the carbon bumper IS painted. TRUST ME.
If you want to know anything about the USDM mugen SI, let me know. we've sold two of them to the same customer. (H-T member too) beautiful machine.
