      Not uncommon for cars out of Japan to have the adjustable headlights. My 1990 Mtech2 has them as well.

      Nice car. I knew it was Japanese as soon as I saw the condition of the paint. Enjoy.

      You Americans would shit if you knew how much one can get those for in Japan. I bet I could get an entire one for what you guys would pay for just those seats, and believe me, they are fairly easy to find.

              I know Japanese imports are soo much better taken care of than here in North America ( I live in Canada) the paint is immaculate and only 96,000km's on it, most cars in Canada that are like 2001 have like 150,000km's and mines a 1990 with only 96,000

                  Nice, very nice car too, looks to be in great condition! Keep the auto until you learn to drive it around well, then after some time you may ditch it yourself along with the engine for a nice 2.5 I6!
                  It's not an old car. It's an old friend.

                    Real nice...I wonder, houndstooth or plaid?

                    The only reason I don't really like the plaid is because the doorcards and rear cards don't have the pattern on them from the factory, although I suppose you could do that if you wanted. It is more rare though.

                    I can't wait until I can import a touring to the US...

                      personally if the pattern were on the door cards and rear cards i think it would be waaay too much going on in the car and it would be tacky. but its all personal opinions!

                          I am Canadian as well, from Calgary. These cars are not admissible in the US, so our American friends don't have the benefit of buying these well maintained vehicles with such low mileage. The only downfall is that everything that comes out of Japan is automatic.

                            sometimes i wish i lived in Alberta, its easier to get cars passed inspection there. It's alot harder in BC, on my BMW we had to add the 3rd brake light on the back. My girlfriends dad is an importer so i get to see some pretty sweet cars come in.


                            and thats not true about all cars from japan being auto There's lots that are Standard

                              Wait, that's about 60k miles.

                              Unbelieveable. I think that's the lowest mileage stock E30 i've seen...ever..
