May I ask you how much you paid for it ?

For instance, it negociates about 25 000 - 30 000 euros in Europe.
There are many, many ES30s in Japan. In fact, most of the ES30s that did not remain in the Europe ended up in Japan. I am pretty sure that we have at least 100 ES30's (S.Z.s and R.Z.s all together) currently registered in Japan. My mom has owned three (plus one wrecked S.Z. which became the donor for our milano/S.Z. hybrid) so far. Most of them are unofficially imported but the official Japanese distributor (Alfa Romeo Japan) also imported a couple of dozens of S.Z.'s in 1993 or so and they were sold for 12 million JPY (little over 100,000USD). The peak advertised price of S.Z. in Japan was actually even higher at 17 million JPY (140-150K USD ) back in early 1990s. Today, the average price of a decent S.Z. is between 25,000USD and 35,000USD, depending on the mileage on it. The R.Z. is considerably more inexpensive at 20,000-30,000USD.
