What's the different between japan car and local? Seems like its far more cheaper... where in penang can i look at those japan car?

I just finished met a mini fans. He is driving a light blue MK1 cooper. Damn!!! I just like it soooo much!!!! He is going to sell it, but too expensive d... can't afford to buy it, but the car condition are t-top! Especially the interior. Personally I feel the MK1 interior bigger space than Mk2 or 3... as the dashboard is like stick to the wall. Gosh!! Do you have any friends, want to sell Mk1? Please help me keep an ear ya? Thanks alot!!!! I will wait until I see the car I want, then only I will buy it, so, for now, I will just wait...
