I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

Yeah same. I love ready this stuff. Finding out random things about your car you didn't know
The k's thing though. My car was 10 years old when I bought it and it had 118,000k's on it which averaged to be 11,800k's a year. They clearly didn't really need a car the previous owner.
Though in saying that my uncle has a 2000 Outback H6 Luxury and it has only done 87,000k's. Was bought by his dad brand new and then given to him about 6 years ago

Nice investigative skills. 
Mine came with all Japanese service history and documentation. I cant read it though.

When I looked into importing a few yrs ago, cars from japan were known to have lower ks, than say, kiwi cars because the Japanese cars seemed to stay in the cities, travelled less.
From the date of purchase, I had to prove,
The car was mine,
was registered and roadworthy,
was garaged at or near my address,
I had a license to drive it (in that country),
I hadn't left the country for more than 1-2months (forgotten how many days)
And, from memory you cannot import another car for another 2 or 5yrs (both numbers ring a bell)
So, this could be the reason behind the well documentation of services etc.
Never importing again, I'm not sure how people would regularly do it. Such a head fork haha
From my experience with importing, you cannot simply own (backdate ownership?) a car for a yr and then import it.You might find the Aussie guy was just the pawn into its entry into Aus. I know a number of people over there that import cars into Aus yearly . Then the go back and do the same again . A 9 year old GTB wouldnt have anywhere near the appeal in Japan at that age in comparsion to what it would have OZ. Might explain the one year rule you need to export the car and perhaps a backdate of ownership ?

Looks good.
I should just convert to single, right?As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;
