In Indonesia low-mileage RX8 like this could worth around 30k USD, or 18k GBP. Now i wonder how hard can it be to bring a car out of UK. Any Insights?

UK import/export rules are really relaxed so getting the car out of the UK will be easy enough. Duno how hard it will be to register once you get it to Indonesia though.

Oh man, that's awesome!

In here it's Very easy. You only has to paid 75% of import tax plus extra 10% road tax to register it, and there you go!

If you're taking a UK-registered vehicle out of the country for 12 months or more (also known as permanent export) you need to:

Tell DVLA by filling in the V5C/4 'notification of permanent export' section of your V5C registration certificate (logbook).

Send it to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BD.

Keep the rest of your V5C registration certificate - you might need this to register your vehicle abroad.

Basically fill out a form and send it to them. Seems like a nice easy process. If it's easy to get the car registered there then go for it, isn't a bad idea if the car is worth that much there.

It is, that is correct. But the edit window is awfully short.

Unlike every RX8 in the US... lowest priced ones here are $5000 US (3.5K GBP) with over 300k KM :( The ones like this? Easily over 10K US :'(
