    I'm from California and obviously registering Japanese import cars that are 25 year old here in the golden state is very costly. Imagine, I imported a 96 Nissan Gloria GranTurismo in 2022 and it would cost me $10,000 so I chose Vermont with only 4% of total value of my Gloria and everything is online, I didn't require to tow my car to Vermont to be physically inspected because VT, MT, Dakotas are " no loop hole states"

    I would do the next video on insuring the car. Some people are importing these cars but the insurance companies only see a 90's sh*tbox. So for my Silvia if totaled they were only going to cut me a check for $3k. 😤😭

      Go through a classic car insurer. I insure my cars through Hagerty and have an “agreed” value with them if anything bad happens. You 100% don’t want to insure it like your average daily driver.

    As for insurance, I am using American Collectors Insurance. They work alongside USAA (you don’t need to have USAA) and so they’re really good with imports. Super simple to get as well. I currently have a $19,000 value on the car with 10,000 miles yearly driving limit. All for $1100/yr ($92/mo. approximately). ALL OF THIS CAN BE ADJUSTED to your liking. The value, the mileage per year, plus any add-ons like towing, repairs, windshield replacement, etc. once you select coverage simply submit thorough photos of your import and that’s it. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HAGERTY… they’re overpriced imo.

    • @ioriOki
      @ioriOki  7 місяців тому +1

      I’ve used Grundy and a few others, as I shop for the best rates every year, and I’ll say Grundy does not have mileage limitations and is a good deal cheaper than American Collectors. I’ve had USAA in the past on other cars and they’re awful, so I wouldn’t go with anyone associated with them, but Hagerty, while seemingly overpriced, allows for track days, has no mileage limitations, and even offers to pay you out if you total it AND keep the car. Quite honestly, nobody else is really doing that right now

However, this time I haven’t had any issues doing it solo by shopping from “Beforward” as their inspection sheets are as raw as it come. They list little things like dents/ tears to oil leaks and even mechanical issues 🤷🏽‍♂️. I also stated that inspection sheets are a good point of reference and are not the “be all” of the purchase 😉.

    Been looking on Car from Japan to import. They show a “Car Price” and a “Total Cost” would there be more fees to pick it up from the port that isn’t covered by the “Total Cost”

      More than likely, yes. I have not used that particular service, but I would budget a few hundred bucks for incidentals.

    Iori, I’ve had the thought of importing cars from Japan and turn it into a business for a while now. If you have any advice for me please write me back. Thanks for making this video, and I think if you made the video of the best sites would also be a good idea. Again thanks and good luck with your channel.

    • @ioriOki
      @ioriOki  2 роки тому +6

      Thank you Dezmond! Unfortunately, I'm not really into the business aspect as that is a big reason the market has become so overvalued. I make videos like this so that regular people can go get their dream car and cut out the middle man and save thousands. But for translation and whatnot, I'm more than willing to help!
      As for best sites, I was waiting until this video gets about 10k views to gauge interest before creating that video.

    hey ! I’m stationed in okinawa and Leave in 2026. i am debating on getting a 2012 GT86, I heard it’s not possible to take the car back home unless it’s 20+ years ? Is that true or Can i take it back under 20. The only thing that is stopping me right now is the possibility of me not being able to take it back.

    • @honda7704

    • @ioriOki
      @ioriOki  Рік тому

      Yeah, you won't be able to bring it. As far as an equivalent model being offered in the U.S., there may be safety and emissions differences and I believe you have to get a letter of compliance from the manufacturer which won'thappen if you're not rich. I hope that helps. Get something older.

    You subtracted a USD price vs JPY. Also Top Rank, even though they are ripoffs, registered that car in CA which could cost 10K USD so please add that to the cost. Still cheaper.

      @@ioriOki you’d be surprised at how valuable it may be to someone. Answered many questions that I have and opened my eyes to possible obstacles/challenges that may come my way in the near future when I start my dream business. Top 5 websites would be super valuable but I guess only you know if it would be worth your time or not. Look at it this way, one more video that will bring traffic to your channel won’t hurt right? 😅 best of luck. Glad to see you adapting very rapidly to the lifestyle here in America, I imagine it’s night and day compared to where you’re from.

      If you're importing under the 25 year rule, that's not true. I don't know about other situations.
