People will talk shit, but I'd be fine knowing that's what I'd pay for it if it wasn't already mine. That being said, I wouldn't ask $10k for it in the hopes of setting a price trend, because I'm not a colossal cunt. I cunt for sure, but like fun-sized.

The NSX is a good example. Had I known the price mark-ups would be this bad or unnecessary, I would've considered buying one when I first got here. The SAME cars I used to see for around $40k-$45k (lower KMs, no repair, MT) are now $60k-$65k...and for what? No one seems to care about the new NSX. It's Porsche assholes setting a bad example lol.
Lol it's just the market. Prices for 90's Japanese cars are just on the rise now, similar to how the muscle cars back in the mid 2000's were selling for very high prices. The kids that used to drive these cars on gran turismo are now 30-40+ and making money. Combine that with a good economy and you start getting people willing to drop $75k on a TT Supra.

sidenote: I will be switching my front bumper back to a JDM bumper, N1 ducts and a C-West style lip from Shine Auto. Then will I be OEM+? The only non-OEM styled aero will be the URAS valences and the lip. Side skirts are Nismo. Just feeling left out now..
