Default 90-92' 928's for sale - and me broke

I hate this
i've been looking at 928's and I want one - baaad.
I figured in a year I'll have enough
but there's like, 10-15 90' - 91' 928's for sale locally, both privately and on lots, that are all within a half hour of me - it's riving me nuts, all these cars look great, they're all around $17,500 canadian, and they're all readily available - I would literally have the pick of the litter if i went out today.....
Anyways, just some self loathing.

there have been a number of 928s brought back from Japan into Canada because older cars have little or no value in Japan due to very expensive annual roadworthy inspections. There is nothing wrong with that just a free market reallocating resources where the demand is greater.

makes sense.
I have only looked at a few, simply because i don't have the money so why waste the seller's time?
I wonder how many were imported to Japan

Japan drives on the left, so have RHD cars. But Japanese Porsche fans prefer LHD cars because they were originally designed for a LHD market. Are these Japanese imports RHD or LHD ?

yeah oddly enough, lots - and I mean LOTS - of cars in japan are LHD - AMG Japan makes their cars LHD - so every german car I have seen come out of Japan is a LHD car.

Geez, I wish they were a little closer to me!! I'm looking, and I'd love to find a nice car in that age range.

most of them dissapeared.... it's weird
my thought, as someone suggested, is they were japanese imports and since the port of vancouver is the port on the west coast of canada, it makes sense
