Default Some of the weird JDM cars I'm considering

I have to buy a car that can survive outdoors, which puts me in the strange realm of buying a fixed-roof vehicle. However I still gravitate towards the rare & unusual. Knowing that about me, you might understand that I've been researching Japanese cars which were never sold here. Namely these 2:

ɛ̃fini MS-8
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C6%90%CC%83fini_MS-8

Eunos 500
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_Xedos_6

There are MANY cars being sold or auctioned from Japan with extremely low miles on them which satisfy the USA 25-year (old) rule that are now legal for sale here even though they never met USA safety & emissions rules. There were 3 Eunos 500 on auction last week and now there are 2 ɛ̃fini MS-8 for sale this week. As with any used car these prices are not set in stone & as the site says, "make an offer". This is just one of the many sites where JDM cars are listed.

Thanks to the internet I know that all "consumables" for these these two cars are readily available through Mazda's USA parts center, as manufacturers do make a concerted effort to share componentry across platforms!

To make it easier here are the direct links to the 2 cars currently for sale, although these links will go dead the moment the car sells:
