I'm not sure of the details, but essentially it depends on past experiences. Let's say a car is produced here and sold here, and you decide to import it from Japan brand new instead (GTR for example), then the gov tosses a huge tax on it on top of the car price (kinda like anti-dumping?).

If for example it's a used car, over 3 years old, and an equivalent isn't easy to find in HK (e.g. Skyline 350GT Coupe, aka G35) then the price drops by a lot where it might actually be close to buying used in HK.
