Default OT: Which car would you get?

Here is the situation. You are in the country where brand new Hondas are very expensive.
2001 ITR(In any factory colour you want) - $34.5K USD (MSRP in magazine.)
2001 S2000 - $92.8K USD (MSRP at dealer website.)
2001 NSX - $154.2K USD (MSRP at dealer showroom floor.)
2000 M Roadster - $154.2k USD (at dealer) Just have to throw it in.

Now here are some of the nice/clean used car I saw on the previous trip to my country.
USED USED USED....
97 WRX STi - $15.2K USD
97 Nissan R33 V-Spec $32K USD (Very subtle)
98 Mitsu Evo VI(I think) - $26K USD
or
93 E36 316i (with Supra TT engine - ) $12K. USD

Sorry, but I def. go for the Evo. We see way too much "wannabee kids" overhere driving Impreza's.

But HELL, in what kinda of country to you live?! For example, that S2000 is 2,5 times the price we pay overhere. And we're like the worse country on the world to drive expensive cars cause of all those )(#@)( taxes.

Cheers.

Strange that the ITR is a third more than in the U.S., the NSX is almost twice as much, and the S2K is three times as much. I would expect the prices to all be the same multiple in one market as they are in another.

That country, or my country, would be Thailand. Yes the price does not make any sense but the tax works in mysterious way. I think they go by the engine size and body size. New NSX would be somewhat more than new Skyline because of its engine. Nonetheless only a small percentages of the population can enjoy these fine machinery. There are very very little middle class in my country, mostly poor and rich. Integra ITR cost as much as Volvo T4. It would cost me $12-13k to import used 98 ITR to Thailand, not including the price of the car. So, I am just trying to have as much fun here in the state before I have to go back home next year and work for $300/month for my government. As for now, my 'Teg GS would suffice. But on the bright side, used engines are dirt cheap. While B18C5 will run you around $1800-$2000, most car either have RB26DETT or Supra TT transplant.


Jaysmy - who try tu figure out the way to sneak in couple dozen of race tires to Thailand, where a 17" Advan A033s is more than a person makes in a month and the Prime minister's son drives Ferrari F40 to college.
