If the Soarer is legal then it's definitely the way to go!

Yes, the soarer is legal. The owners been driving it for little over a year.
The only thing I am worried about is the turbo seals giving out, as I planned to daily drive it for at least a few years.

sorry I have to disagree with everyone here...if you want a daily, then RHD just complicates things...get the Lexus instead

If you want to be unique, get the Soarer. It's a rare opportunity, but like you said you risk the need the replace the turbo seals. IMO I'd get the Soarer and set some funds aside just in case it breaks, being unique comes at a cost.
