DeltaSniper Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Just got back from Japan, saw quite a few 5th Gen Legacies and a whole lot of rare Subarus! Went to what WAS the largest dealership in the Kanto region (Tachikawa), turns out I missed the newer one in Mitaka... http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_195817_zpsidvufywu.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_195805_zpsbsolexoq.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_195725_zps2n4wvelw.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_195312_zpsvgib1hkq.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_195131_zpsniqyl0sb.jpg They had a small store with massive amounts of Subaru gear and car parts.... from 6 pot brakes to Subaru driving gloves. http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_194347_zpsziohpzci.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_194251_zpso9ibdavr.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_194242_zpsyezqc6tu.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_194239_zps4170mjpj.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_194102_zpsrremgm5t.jpg Saw a real 22B I could not believe my eyes.... http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_200212_zpshzh91138.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_200149_zpsvslpwkyu.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_200142_zps06a5lyvu.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_200132_zpscdly9erh.jpg Bonus Old Subaru's, some of which I do not even know about... went to the Motorcar Museum of Japan in Kanazawa http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161114_205935_zpsacesrtkl.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161114_205957_zpslupf1bae.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161114_210006_zpsohzjqrmo.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161114_210019_zps1c37rzrb.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161114_210028_zps6zzwuf2w.jpg http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161114_210037_zpsgbjbp8qc.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy.B Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Great Scots! http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161106_195131_zpsniqyl0sb.jpg Nice pics! I want this one in black. Kthx. Send me the bill. I feel like if you took a modded Subaru here, they would take care of you properly.

BBPeik Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Freakin awesome. Thanks My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesedil Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 These cars look amazing. I am now actually somewhat angry that we can't buy some of these cars. There is a really large chance, assuming a nice test drive, that we'd have an Exiga in the driveway right now if it were available. Legacy GT Wagon, Levorg... why does SOA have to be such a carblock?

Perscitus Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Great pics DeltaSniper. My brother visited that other large dealership/museum this past Summer. I posted some of the pics and videos in one of the general threads. If I dig it up, I will re-link here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laopadak Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Pretty awesome experience. I get to Japan about twice a year for work but seldomly have time / venture out for experiences like this except for golf which is a priority for me. No doubt the JDM market is much desired stateside. Awesome photos and thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Also saw an original 300SL back at MMJ... this one is probably worth at least 1 Million USD. http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s493/BoxerPower555/Japan/IMG_20161114_203745_zpsehjxp7zn.jpg My grandfather used to own a dealership in Wisconsin that sold a few of these and similar cars. Thing is, at that time, they were just new sports cars and not the 6 & 7 figure collectors items they are now, so he just sold them at market price. Specific cars that I know made their way through his dealership were the likes of 300SL's, Jaguar E-type's, even a Ferrari 250 Testarossa (specifically chassis 0732TR aka Lucibelle II. It's a bucket list item for me to lay eyes on this specific car, I think it's in Sweden right now haha). I wish he would've kept even one of these old cars to pass on to my dad then to me. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Was the LeVorg bigger than the Impreza but smaller than the Legacy/Legacy Wagon?

I knew the 300 SL is worth a lot of money now but I didnt think it was 7 figures, but when I saw it in Kanazawa I started to google... heck that car was in such good condition (well as far as I could tell) it could be worth 1.5M USD.... crazy shit but thats what you can see in auctions. Was the LeVorg bigger than the Impreza but smaller than the Legacy/Legacy Wagon? And that 22B!!! :wub: I would say just around a tad bigger than the 4th Gen Legacy Wagon but smaller than the 5th Gen Wagon.... Levorgs were crazy popular all over Japan, lots of Levorg STI's and that white one I saw had Corazon everything, down to the wheels even. What got me about that 22b is that it was a customers car.... 5 mins later it was gone and I never saw it again. That lucky ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVAKeith Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Was the LeVorg bigger than the Impreza but smaller than the Legacy/Legacy Wagon?... I think it's just a straight up Impreza/WRX wagon. Tell me more about those fifth gen Legacy wagons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
