Ah sorry! I got mixed up with exchange rates.. let's see
Basic: 1,366,623.17 Yen
Grade R : 1,745,588.56 Yen
So... I was making the conversion from my currency to dollar to yen... I got it wrong... Actually it is pretty convenient hehe..
Still, I got a mazda Demio... at a bargain price of 1,047,020.75 Yen... that was before the dollar rose and the effects of the financial crisis started to show up... now the same mazda demio cost 1,236,355.77 Yen

Spirited 1.5l engine yeah right. The 2.3 qualifies as spirited and the turbo is flat out fast. 555Book and JoiceRojo, you've got to be kidding that a base Axela goes for that much, wow there must be a lot of taxes or tarifs. In the US the top model turbo is around $25,000 which works out to about 2.9 million yen
