kinda complicated...my dad works with the world bank, and he was posted to india, so we get relocatoin benefits etc. this adds up to about $15,000 for me, plus they pay for half my tuition since i'm studying in the US and my dad is posted here in Delhi. SO, i combined that with some savings, and my dad helped me out a bit as well....
also, world bank = diplomatic = duty free purchases, which means that in 5 years i can sell it for more than what i bought it for.

(duty in india on imports is ~110%)
actually i was wrong, its closer to a toyota 4runner than a gx470. same chassis in all though. the prado i have has a 4 liter turbodiesel though. and yes, i have taken it off road.
b0mberman.. my family's living in india for 5 years for my dad's job posting...
s2000 is my somewhat-sorta-in-10-years-affordable dream car...
