I know someone that shipped his car for $5k from the U.S. to Korea. So if you really wanted it, that would be cheaper. If you aren't staying for a long time, I would try to find something cheap to get you through.

Apparently that has happened in the past and a call to corporate fixed the issue. The dealership went down to the correct price. I don't remember who told us on here, but it should be fixable.

^ See I thought about that, too, getting corporate involved. But the fact that I went to more than one dealership and they still tried that on me and wouldn't budge on price? Those experiences left an awful taste in my mouth and I basically said good-bye to ever owning an FR-S. There's a reason why dealerships in Jacksonville have so many FR-S models on their lots - no one wants to buy them starting at $30,000.
@OP: If you can eat the taxes and sending the FR-S to Korea, I would strongly recommend that. It would be considerably more cost effective rather than dropping $40k on a $25k car.
