Hi all,
first post here, please be kind!!
First things first: I don't have an NSX, though have always loved them. They are absurdly rare here though (Australia)...which just makes it all the more special when you see one!
Anyway:
I represent a vehicle export business. We have been active for nearly a decade, exporting mostly kei-trucks from Japan, though we do have a partner in Oregon to whom we also export GTRs. We are looking at new market segments, and NSXs seem to jump out as an obvious choice. On paper it seems too good to be true:
Average auction price for a decent 90/91 model is around 20k US in Japan, Average asking price seems around 45k in the US?
Obviously only '90 cars can be imported at the moment, but as time goes on, more models will become eligible. Our Oregon partner has already expressed willingness to expand...
Anyway, my question is simply:
Am I missing something? Is there some reason why NSX imports are a bad idea? I just want to get a sense of the demand from the enthusiast community, as well as any tips or advice you might have.
Cheers!
