To see a 16 year old car still demand upwards of 700000+ is a real shock. You're talking about 12,000USD! A 2006 model, not a brand new car - but rather a 12 month old model would cost 35,000USD imported.
35,000USD - 12,000=23,000 Depreciation
23,000 / 16 Years= 1,437.5 Per Year
1,437.5/ 23,000=6.25% Per Year Depreciation
If you ignore inflation you're talking about a 6% depreciation per year! HOLY MOLY!
With proper investment advice and some banking knowhow someone can very easily import this car and make a very little loss by the time you sell it.
