Today submitted the paperwork for the parking permit for the M3. In Japan, you cannot register a car unless the police has given you a parking certificate. Not unlike the COE system in Singapore, the parking certificate ensures that you have a proper parking place to park the car, not whether you can afford to buy the car. Parking in Tokyo cost more than most cars, at US$500 per month in the inner TYO residential areas and up to US$1,000 in the CBD office area.
With the submission to the police station, the permit will be issued on Tue, thereafter to be sent to the dealer. The dealer will register the car and inform you when its ready for collection. In the purchase, I had negotiated for a free "coating" or polishing in our lingo, and also an engine compartment cleaning. They both come up to about US$160.
I got a good deal for my S2000, with very little depreciation. It was bought from the same dealer 1.5 years ago in Feb07. Now I just need to wait for another 10days.....

Believe Me it is worth the wait...good you got rid of that 'go-cart' with it screaming engine and back 'bone' jarring LSD..
Just slip onto the comfy seat of the M3 and and spin those wheels and feel its silky smooth power ...just like the feel of the silky smooth skin of a beautiful woman...and leave a trail of sweet exhaust....Just like 'that of the 'scent of a woman''....
looking forward to a spin when i am in town ...
Its a different beast altogether...high performance with style and functionality...and a sensational engine!
