Meh, it is a special edition from Japan. So I could maybe see that bumping the price up, maybe as much as $50k. The WRX STI is pretty iconic, and was a dream car for lots of folks that are now probably 35-45 years old.

Still, as you say, $300+k sounds insane. Yes, I'd almost rather it be money laundering than someone that had money to burn. Surely they could have just bought one from Japan and had it imported themselves for less than that.

Maybe it's someone trying to game the market, push the prices.
