Honda S660

[RENESIS VIII]

These cars are supposed to be cheap at Japan but over here, they are priced even higher than other recon Japanese sports car like 86, BRZ and possibly 370Z.

New car price plus CBU import duty, sure become expensive......lol

I thought these S660 are recon cars?

Still have to play CBU taxes, and I heard you cannot use invoice price, because IRD have list of cars and minimum import pricing. This is to curb false pricing to get lower taxes.....lol

What about lotus?

Thought about it. But the cheapest Lotus recon is above 200k and used units are 100k+ with no chance of loan. Forget about the ancient Elise, too many stories about unreliable gearboxes and expensive maintenance.

Exactly. Recon yes but all of this is true.

You need AP to import these car where cost around RM 30k got jalan RM 18k can get, excise duty will be few times your car value, then follow by import GST of 6% + those runner fees, forwarding agent, Ocean Freight from Japan to Malaysia.. that cost higher than the car price dont know how many times already.

There is another way still legal but you need a lot of cash in hand to buy one since no loan can be take to buy it from Japan..

You spoke my mind!

Hahaha that's the first thing that came on my mind that is light & nimble.

By that I assume you are talking bout the exige? Actually you want it to be light in stock form like Lotus, or gutted interior kind of light weight

I prefer it be stock form light. Stock gutted like the S202 Impreza is nice but I don't really like the bug eye design for the S202.

Just as expensive......lol

At the highest variant i would have top up more going for MX5.

But then, why did those recon BRZ and 86 are being sold cheaper than this? Some recon WRX STI can also be had for like 150-160k. Base price of these cars alone are already higher than S660.

Because those "popular" cars have importers. No one is importing the S660 yet except grey importers. The S660 is expensive in Japan because of its K car status so it translates to expensive here as well.

WRX and all those more popular cars are more expensive because of demand. In Japan they are sold for peanuts in comparison.

Yeah man. But anyone who does get the highest variant is dumb cuz the differences between the base model and highest model is accessories. Which is kinda pointless. I'd just install a reverse camera and a hardtop and I'm done happy with the car.

At least way much faster and much better looking, plus easier to sell too later.

Which one? The S660 is more valuable or the Lotus?
