Evo III pricing?

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what good condition Evo IIIs would be worth in Japan?

Ideally I would like one in Australia, however as I currently live in Hong Kong for the time being, I am considering importing one here and then taking it back to Australia under the personal import scheme. I'm struggling however to get a reasonable idea on the cost of a good specimen in Japan.

Anyone, or any importers with information would be welcome.

thanks

Simon

I think Evo III's are pretty cheap in Japan, All the costs are in logistics and taxes.

I was going to reply to you on evoOz but you didn't talk about the personal import scheme there. How long are you going to be in Hong kong for? You have to own the car for at least 12 months to be eligible.
I'd love to have an Evo III and hopefully one day I'll import one for race purposes

I'm working in HK, so can stay for the 12 months for an EvoIII to be eligible for personal import.

Good, clean Evo 123s have been going nuts in Japan for the past couple of years. Sure you can buy the junk cheap, but you actually want a clean shell to start with, not something that's been beaten and hacked to death. There isn't much left in Canada to bring in, either. I would say less than a dozen E3s left.

Not sure about prices in Japan, but I'd agree with RS200, 1-3 are gaining value rapidly. In Hong Kong, the Evo III is about HK$120,000!

@KevLows - How did you find the search? What auction grade did you end up getting? Are there many grade 4? Are you able to give a rough price range in your opinion for any auction grades?

thanks
