    It's important for people who don't live in Japan to understand that our economy is having severe issues and people aren't spending as much because they're focusing on saving due to rising costs of everything.
    Edit: Ya'll are all saying "iTs eVeRyWhErE", but have no understanding of the global import/export of the Japanese Yen to other currencies.

      Not surprising considering how prices have been post covid. No one should be paying 20k+ for a GTST, and 40k+ for a Gtr or a Jzx, especially considering you can get something modern with maybe 98% of the enjoyment, and 2% of the headaches, for roughly the same price. It's just not worth it for the large majority of an already niche market. I'm saying this as a Skyline owner myself too.

    I am pretty sure when I first moved to Japan in 2006, you could buy an R32 or FD for around 1.5 million yen, then when they became legal to sell in America the car dealers doubled there prices. Despite the yen being the lowest in 38 years I still doubt I will be able to buy one anymore. What I should have done is buy one back in 2006 when I first arrived when I had the money.

  • @Octane_au
    @Octane_au 4 місяці тому +8

    Prices of anything export-worthy in Japan are increasing fast enough to offset the falling value of the yen. Sellers are essentially pricing them at their $USD/EU/AU equivalent value in yen. I bought a RA25GT Celica from Japan about 10 years ago for ¥1.2m and I've seen similar cars advertised for more than ¥5m recently.
    Anything non-export worthy seems cheap to us, but its still expensive to them due to zero wage growth in the last 30 years.
    So the only people seeing bargains are foreigners bringing their strong dollar with them to Japan.

    These cars are no bargain at all (to ship to the US).
    You have to add Japan buyer's fees (if any), inland shipping to port, export papers, transatlantic shipping+insurance, US customs (paperwork and duty), US inland shipping, state inspection/certification where it's registered, state tax, and it's still a right hand drive car - which is a disadvantage on several levels. Insurance is surely to be HIGHER, as the car doesn't show up in Carfax or in the car insurance database when they plug in the VIN, so it has no verifiable history in the US.

    All time low in 39 years. It was similar in 2014 and lower in 2004.
    In the late 1990s it was possible to get 220 yen to the pound. Today its 205.
    Right now is a good time to buy Japanese imports. But it could get better.

    It has less to do with the jpy conversion and more to do with how the used car market works here, it's not big like it is in the US. That said most cars that people are interested in exporting are just being overpriced at this point taking out the margin for the exporter if the goal is resale. I have an R34 and Audi Q3 here currently, I'll send the R34 back to the US with me once I go back home but will likely just junk the Q3 because it's not worth the effort of trying to sell used and it's not valued high enough for me to care.

    If you keep any of those old cars they just turn into money pits. Everything is worn out on them. So you basically rebuild the whole thing if you want a decent car. After you done that & added the cost up you could have gone bought a really good new car & been having fun instead of covered in grease with skinned knuckles.
