MR-2 import prices are heading rapidly upwards (like all other classic Japanese turbo cars up to the early 2000’s).

[dt_gap height=”10″ /]

This is one of the models we receive enquiries for every week so demand is strong.

They will become eligible for import to Australia by mid to late 2019 under import regulation changes currently in progress.

You need only look at recent auction prices of low km AW11 models to see what is going to happen to the SW20’s in coming years.

As always, the value is in clean condition but most of all – LOW kms:

There are other decent condition 5 speed SW20’s (with higher kms and not as clean as the above example) selling in the 350,000 to 600,000 Yen range right now.

However, this won’t last long as we have seen with so many other models already as collectors swoop on them around the 25 year old mark.

[dt_gap height=”10″ /]

Quality examples of vehicles this age take time to source.

[dt_gap height=”10″ /]

So, if you want one of these classic MR-2’s, our advice is to act quickly and as early as possible.

We will be providing further updates on the import regulation changes including the new 25 Year Rule, so stay in touch on Facebook, our general Mailing List or by regularly visiting our Blog.
