If I could break you off a piece of advice as a military guy exiting Japan, try out cars you either would never consider owning in America because of price, or something they never made in America.

Worry about importing something when you're about a year out from leaving.

I've had 8 cars since I've lived in Japan and the prices I got them for are simply criminal compared to America.

1st was an Evo III for $5500.
2nd was a '99 FD for $7000.
3rd was an Altezza I traded the Evo III for (there's a story behind it).
4th was R34 GT-T for $4500.
5th was a 1st gen Forester for $1800
6th was a super lower mileage AP1 S2000 for $8500.
7th was my 20B Cosmo for $10,500
8th was a turbo/auto MKIV Supra for $7500.


See my point? There are so many cool cars in Japan, and very reasonably priced. I consider the FD and Supra cars I'll never purchase in America just because of the HUGE price difference, but I'm damn glad I had the opportunity to own them when I could.
