Hi bro, please do an intro in the newbie section

From the seller point of view the car will hold better value if it states the registered year rather than the manufacturing year ...So this is normal lah part of the sales tactic. And yes your car is a 2004 model regardless what year it is registered. Fyi the calender start date of a manufacturing year is Sept onwards. On the plus side is that you could use that as a bargaining chip to lower down the price further

I am paying 210k for it. Is this price fair for a fairly new Jap spec car? It has about 42k miles on it and no magnesium engine....

Comments appreciated

Seems a little pricey. Take a look at this -

It will follow whatever is listed in the docs from Japan. So if the docs from Japan say it is manufactured 2005, it will be also be YM 2005 here in your JPJ card. Yes, this is normal

I think what it meant was that boot can open by itself. Though since it's done mainly with springs, can hardly call it "power boot". If it can close by itself, now that's power boot!
