This 1992 Mazda is the type of vehicle that would be eligible for import to Australia under a proposed new 25 Year Old Vehicle Import Rule for 2018.
Had it been eligible under the proposed 25 Year Rule for Australia, the 1,760,000 Yen FOB sale price in Japan would have equated to a total price in Australia would have been approx. $26,900 landed plus compliance, tyres and ORC’s (calculated at a rate of 85.7 Yen to the dollar).
Vehicles like this are increasingly being seen as collectible not only in Japan but the rest of the world, which is driving a rapid increase in prices.

The Nissan Skyline R34 was an awesome awesome car, it was the best car I have ever owned. I kept it for 7 years … absolute trouble free, reliable, unique and a great drive.
It was hard to let go of, but with a growing family had to eventually trade it in … in the end after 7 years of good use ended up getting $14K trade in at a dealer, which was bloody good … considering it was a an import landed for $25K, 7 years earlier.
For now I now drive around in a Golf GTI which I bought brand new, but with a growing family we need a bit more room. That plus the fact that the German built VW has already started to develop squeaks and rattles I never experienced in my Skyline!! …
Right now I am having a look at the people movers (something with three rows of seats) and the officially available range on the Australian market is just awful … I don’t really like what I see. They are terrible value and very very low tech.
Was thinking about an E51 Elgrand a few months back but it is way too large for my wife to drive around so having a look at the Delica instead, which is a bit more compact.
Have been looking at the Delica D5 (2007) at the Parramatta dealerships … but I am a bit suspicious of the KMs having been wound back and tampered with by the Australian dealers. And now having done a back of the envelope calc with your import price calculator based on the recent auction prices you just sent through I don’t quite know how they (dealers) could offer their cars at the price they do without having wound back the KM’s (and make a profit).
