If they do it more often, the BIR might also start hanging out there.

LOL! :D Sorry about that sir, but I just laugh when I read you thought these sportscars cost around 2m!!

Like a Teana or Camry perhaps?? If that is the case all car enthusiasts is going to have the bargain of heir lives. LMAO. The Evos and Stis are around 2.3 to 3.3m, and the Z is around 3.6, what more will be this supercar... Anyways, at we now know. Maybe you sir is not into JDM performance cars perhaps.

And, for a supercar rated to be less costly than its European cousins, why is it that when it's sold by non-Nissan distributors, the cost is, at the least, tripled? As a frustrated and newbie car enthusiast, if anyone can expound on such rules and reasons, i'd appreciate it very much.

I was able to speak to a guy from Nissan before, according to him they cannot actually compete with the price of the grey market imports.

See you cannot just convert... let's say the U.S SRP of cars (especially sportscar, performance car) and expect them to be priced the same locally. As you notice the price trend is well the same for other performance cars like Sti, Evo, Z etc.

To add to that, the Sti here is cheaper than the Evo, but on other big market countries their price are almost at par w/ each other. Just my 2 cents sir.

no worries - simplest reason - I don't have the money to buy or even maintain these kinds of cars.. even going up the 7 digits part... So I didn't have the simplest knowledge.. or even thinkin of asking how much these cars are worth.. -- that's why I dont know how much these vehicles.. or even other sports cars are worth..

just crossed my mind to visit this thread since a good friend of mine just bought one a month ago.. or 2 months i think.. havent seen it yet in person.. only pictures.

I'm just happy to have my hard earned vehicle.. to bring me and my wife from point a to point b.. maintaining it and such..

Point well taken sir. Practicality is best lalo na if you have wife and kids.
