I am currently in the market for an 260RS Autech in the US. I have been doing my research on common things to look for etc, but wanted to get some feedback on what the experience is like for owners of the vehicle. This would be my first foray into Japanese imported vehicles so any lessons learned or advice is greatly appreciated.

I have sourced a potential car which is a 2 owner vehicle with no rust, and is pretty much completely stock with 150,000 kms and all service records going back from new.
