Unfortunately it is not able to be imported into Canada until July 09-but I am really considering purchasing this and holding in my yard in Japan umtil then-I have checked it over and is beautiful-automatic-will get interior pictures next week- I am in Japan again only for another week. Please send me a pm with what you think it is worth landed in Vancouver.
Thanks,

Oh my god. :shock:

I'd be concerned with the following :

Upper A-arm rides on the bump stop bracket without the bump stop = Zero down travel. Ouch.

Harsh angles on the tierod ends, balljoints and CV's. That thing must eat them for breakfast.

If those tires are not DOT, it would be a serious waste of cash. :-(

With that said, it's a nice looking one but functionality goes out the door for looks.

Cosmetically, it's a really nice job whoever did it.

Someone who wants the bling and drives around town will definitely pay bucks for it, that's for sure.

And for that 12,5 will that include the servicing that a 15-yr-old vehicle will probably need or will that be the price due to it's 'shiny-factor'?

Too much bling for this fella. I noticed it's listed as a Space Gear. Is that correct? Isn't the Space Gear part of the L400 series?

The listing is wrong. It's a Star Wagon.
