Fake Year RX8 ?

While browsing an online classifieds site I found this that RX8 claim to be manufactured in year 2016!  Registration number is CAX-9*** , and when I verified the year with DMT site, it also said it's manufactured in 2016 .  How come? 

Even series 2 RX8 models were stopped manufacturing in 2012. This model is a series 2  RX8 . How did they manage to register this as a 2016 model? And now being advertised for a premium price. :D

I know a very famous car sale brought down about 15-20 RX8's YOM around 2007-2009 using a loophole in customs HS codes. They were up for sale last few months. In fact i know few guys who bought them and also two guys who returned them due to mechanical issues in the rotary engine. So be careful when buying one, even registered.

Yes, recently many people brought down series 2 RX8s which was indeed due to a loophole in customs. That's why there were lot of unregistered RX8s were up for sale recently. tbh, I was also considering personally importing one because you could've imported a series 2, 2009 R3 model for less than 4mil including tax. However I changed my mind :D Probably this could be the same reason why Evo IXs have CAX number plates.  
However RX8 having registered as a 2016 model is something seriously wrong.
