I imported mine with genuine kms and full service history for less than 45 grand and it's a 99 V-Spec. It's a clean, zero accident, 1 owner car. Although she had a few scratches, most of it could be polished out. Only detriment of buying from Japan is that you dont get to see before you buy. I had to rely on a guy who looked over the car before I bidded on it.
In the end it worked out pretty well i think.
But there's so many ppl trying to sell their BNR's here that you'd be silly to import one these days, especially when the yen has hit a 3 year low of about 83. If i bought my car today, it wouldve costed about 6-7 grand more. So dont ignore the local market as there's certainly good buys.
