Surely a C18 Japan car would have been LHD anyway? I know they're a RHD country, but they prefer their European exotic stuff in LHD. Almost all Porsches and Ferraris there are LHD.
There was a trend of buying LHD to look cool. But more sensible less die hard fashion conscious would just stick to RHD. There are lots and lots of European type Japanese import cars on ebay nowadays. These tend to command a higher price because the Japanese climate leaves their old cars looking brand new underneath even after more than 15 years. I bought a Jap Import e39 almost 10 years ago. There was absolutely zero corrosion on the whole car. It had faded interior trim and sun damaged paint and some of the rubber seals looked cracked and horrible. So it's not all upside.

Fair point ... C08 is LHD Japan and C18 is RHD Japan ... cultural differences !

The revised price and comments against the GT4 would suggest that the bidder isn't quite as convinced as he was.

Looks like some of the comments are a little prickly over the exhaust.

Not a 1 owner car so very brave/misleading statement claiming the car has def NEVER been smoked in or tracked.

Strange, bid on what they thought was an RS. Ooops it wasn't, ah well will bid on whatever it is.
Looks like a nice car, all questions answered politely and with decent detail. Selling cars can be tough.

Your right, from that description and those photos, I can see how easy it would have been to think it was an RS.

Unsold at £113,096 (incl fees). £145k list, 3 months old, 600 miles, wonky front number plate😉 Quite a niche spec I’d say

Majority want PDK which looks to have had an impact on bidding up a reasonable amount.

The ad is top cringe

"Driven for just 600 miles, it is sure to be an exciting find for collectors, and is ready to showcase its impressive breadth of talents out on the new owner’s favourite roads and tracks."

Obviously.........

Shocked it didn’t get bid slightly higher, significantly the times I guess.

I’m more in the “shocked the owner didn’t take the money” camp. Niche spec with buckets as SJMW said and plenty of nearly new cars around for not much more.

March 24 OPC dar which was £145k list advertised for under £130k. Given that I am not sure what the owner thought he was going to get for this car…

Said it had outstanding finance, maybe the £113906 wasn't enough to clear it?

Gone are the crazy days when OPC's were saying you couldn't get a GTS at list and you'd need to pay overs.

It is starting to bite I think, i had cause to deal with my local OPC last week and the service i received was excellent...that is unheard of in recent years.

Funny

I had a bit of rubbish service ordering some parts. They didn't turn up after a few weeks and I had to chase. No one called me back so I went it to see what was going on. The coffee machine wasn't even working. I was shocked.
