Just like you, when I imported my car to Canada I looked for a clean stock or lightly modified example. Other than the colour mine is very similar spec to yours coil overs, cat back , stock airbox & all. Well I do have 17 BBS LM though. 16 years of ownership & I still love her as much & the day I drove it home from the bonded customs warehouse. Definitely my forever car.

I can't believe how insane the prices of these cars have become. From 2006-2009 I worked for an importer in Toronto that specialized in skylines. We had a few high grade R32 GTRs over the years and not one of them ever sold for more than $25,000 CAD. The most expensive R32 GTR we had sold for $22-ish thousand dollars. Pricing now is absolutely ridiculous and it pushes a lot of enthusiasts out of the market with these inflated prices. It's a real shame that a lot of people will never be able to obtain something even remotely close to this.

Honestly makes sense for the price. Idk why he assumed it was less. These are $60k imported. I don’t even know if that’s CA legalized. My friend paid $40k and that’s after the military covered half the fees to import it for him. But current car prices are beyond inflated. So it makes total sense for this price. If prices went back down to normal pricing I’d say it’s. $65k car with out inflation.

Then I saw this car visiting japn in early 2000s, I was amazed - the car was real. Then I saw this car race against a model 3 performance on youtube. Wow. The car still kicks ass.

This car itself is unlike any other stock R32 in the world, specifically because it's owned by Larry Chen and because it is now a legendary premium Hot Wheels car. If i were loaded i'd own a R32, i'd easily give $125,000 for this one and that wouldn't be my ceiling either. I think $85 is low for this car, but i'm a big fan of both Larry and Hot Wheels so i may be bias.
