I would love to, I just don’t have the space for it sadly! And living on part-time jobs right now means I don’t know how financially secure I would be to own and insure two cars right now...but I really hope somebody gets it who will love it! :)

That’s why I got it... Terracotta orange is, I think, the best color for the Pao and yet the more difficult one to find. The sunroof/terracotta combination is really not that common... Only wished it was a manual, but manual prices are through the roof here in Japan, while prices of manual in the US is roughly the same as automatics...

Not to mention that Canadian dollar is worth... well it’s not worth much :(

I guess I left Canada at the right time :(

Don’t remind me :(

On the plus side, the Polish Zloty is worth much less than the Canadian dollar, so at least my 126p won’t be super expensive when the time comes!

Imagine how much it would be if you were using USD then :)

Yeah it’s definitely the best color, I’ve only seen the green, blue and gray ones before, which are ok, but this is the color I’d have. And the sunroof is icing on the cake. While the manual is more fun, if you live in/close to a city, the automatic will make the car much more usable (which is probably why the premium disappears stateside). I’m sure it will find a new home without any trouble.

Yeah the olive green one look pretty good too... As for the sale, I don’t know really... Lots of Pao went for sale on BaT recently. They usually don’t sell for a lot of money, but this is not what I’m looking for here... We’ll see how it goes... Selling cars from the other side of the world is not always easy :)

Yeah it’s tricky, a lot of people want to see the car they are buying in person. But that’s why your videos are great.

Though it would be fun to fly to Japan for a test drive vacation... Would be an awesome vacation to go over, drive a bunch of different cars, and if you found something you liked, bring it home.

The buyer of the last BaT auction I did, with the Toyota Crown, actually had a trip to Japan scheduled before buying the car... We kept the car an extra month for him to drive it here for a day before shipping it out. Needless to say he was stoked :)

And I wrote about “test drives” when buying a car here before... It sucks.
