Since I suspect most people reading this site and looking for a car have never heard of this rare vehicle, and even fewer can imagine spending 9 million won for a very old car that is neither a Porsche or a Mercedes, perhaps you might tell us why this car is so desirable.

And if it is so desired, why do you not sell it in Japan, where it is surely easier to sell and requires no import papers, and where the presumably right-hand drive will be less dangerous. Welcome to Seoul -- driving here is hard enough with something big, visible and steered from the left-side.

Wikipedia says that less than 10,000 of these were made.

I miss my Eclipse Turbo AWD. Good luck with the sale! Not to mention the nightmare of bureaucratic red tape to import a vehicle here.

Gran Torismo!!!

Off topic but I want a Silvia. haha.

Isn't your price a bit high -- if most are in Japan and there is no market for them there? I have seen companies that specialize in importing from Japan.

Even from the UK, it might be cheaper:

Hey can you email me? I am getting ready to import a car soon and any info on getting a Japanese car registered would be helpful too.
Also if you have some extra connections in Japan that would wanna help out for some cash... great
