Today I went down a big rabbit hole trying to find out when my 97 collector's edition was imported. Interestingly, I found out that the last 80 series ever imported to the USA was a 97 collector's edition. It was last registered in Mississippi and has not yet been listed as salvaged or totaled. Vin number JT3HJ85J6V0188468.
It would be cool to find it!
