Well you cant buy a car in Japan without a parking space. I currently own 2 cars and only one parking space. So I can't technically own the Stagea. When I go to register it I have to tell the cops to inspect my parking space to make sure the car will fit. Well this cop told me that if I move my Cresta to my friends house during the inspection, that they will give me the parking pass. The parking space just has to be empty at the inspection. Kind of funny the cop told me that, so I told him origato(thank you) and got my parking pass.

I can finally drive the car. Heres a couple of pictures.

Well the first box under TV means.　 ハンドル-that means "Handle" like the suspension. The next word under that. シフト -means "shift" i think Transmission i guess The kanji that is after these words means that it is the orginal from the factory. The car has a Radio and tape deck, aluminum wheels and the color is silver.

This is mine just bought it and I got to drive it once so far until i register it. I have to sell my old 94 Cresta Tourer V before i can register this one. At least I got to drive it for a couple of hours, and it drives awesome.

I live in Japan so I will be here for at least the next 4 years. Cant wait to get it registered, still have to up a wide band on it to tune it.

So i bought the Stagea it is awsome. I just drove it down from Chiba on Friday and it drives great, too bad i wont get to drive it for a week or so because I have to get it registered. Well I happen to find and add for it from the guy who was selling it. If you want to take a look at it here is the link. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1020949.htm

I'm in Japan currently and will be here for a while. My friend got the car from an auction he gave it a good once over and said it looks and sounds good. I'm going to try and take a look at it on Monday to see how it looks. I'll let you guys know what happenes. Thanks again. Totally skipped over the buyers guide, a lot of good info.
