- It's been over 38 years since the JPY crashed this low! It's never been a better time than to buy cars in Japan & export them. But how much are these cars selling for locally?

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.
Bro it's awful here as well.... BAD
Same is here in the united kingdom fuel prices is still high along with food prices
thats a worldwide issue bro
That's the case almost everywhere.
I am trying to get more information on this from Japanese perspective in English. Do you know of any channels I can listen to. Thanks.
its only "not bad" now... but years ago these used to be 3-5kUSD
indeed, around 2003 I bought a MR2 SW20 Turbo in Japan for 4500. Miss that car a lot.
@@Darkslide2AR-FE 2003 is 21 years ago 😂
Truth be told, Skylines and most RHD don’t sell in the USA anymore at all unless they are dirt cheap and clapped out. USA dealers that specialize in RHD are sitting on major stock right now, nothing is selling.
Nobody wants to be married to RHD . 🤷
@@Vgk36 Very True. Every RHD dealer I see has the same cars for over 6 months, plus the time of buying and importing, so call it 8-9 months without selling. Most cars have been on the lot even longer. They bought them too high and now are just sitting on them and I can guarantee they won’t sell anytime soon.
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.
@@thefallensaints nowadays dealers are asking 40k for R34 GTT coups and 20k-30m for the sedans. Nobody is buying the S15 Silvia’s either. I also own a few Skylines, definitely didn’t pay those crazy prices but I imported them all myself.
@@johnsonrepp 196000km coupe gtt bid at auction 4.5 million yen
It's an Civic FD Type R not Integra btw
They are cheap as chips here in thailand. But they're all automatics with k20
@@JNorth87 this is a FD2R only 14000 were made and most of them are in Singapore, malaysia and japan
No, it’s an Integra. The different headlights are a total give away.
Post 2003 Hondas are easily forgettable
9.
I remember 8 years ago when R33 GTR's were selling for $10,000-$13,000
In New Zealand R32 GTR was 20k NZD about 10years ago R33gtr was 10-15k nzd
We stopped importing to the UK in 2008 due to the £ crashing.. pre then R32gtr 6k otr Evo4 full HKS 3k, S14 drag car (RB26 T88 Fconv) 4k.. Gt500 MK4 supra (3s get) 2.5k
I picked up a rb25 de neo c35 5k last straight outta Japan with 39,000k's on the clock just got it complied and now I'm keen on Club s 25det neo as I believe they're such and underrated car
That's all theyre worth, dont pay more. If everyone refuses to pay that much then the prices come down. it's that simple.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again. The shoe game and the car game go hand in hand. Shoe prices drop, so did the car market lmao! LOVE IT! Buyers market.
Not SB Dunks.... I literally just checked to see some of my favs and they are stupidly high....... R.I.P Dunks...
@@goofymcadams I love SB! What you looking at, “What the Dunk”? Lol
@@DANZKICKZnahh dude I disagree, I used to buy Nike sb dunk mcflys for 80$ all day long now they go for 700$ Deadstock in my size
Paris dunk probably 😂
I love these long form videos. From the junkyard vids to the auctions, they are just amazing. Use them to relax often, keep up the amazing work!!
Thought that was a civic not a Integra?
Definitely a civic 🤦♂️
Fd2 type R probably not his cup of tea
i came straight to the comments 😂
An Integra
100% an integra or Acura RSX for the US
"ITS NOT BAD" bro look under the car hahaha
This is what people need to really take note of! Ty for pointing this out
@@angelabov3n explain why looking under is important, could it be the rust?
@@rishenxb1s705 There could be a monster under there.
@@QuickandDirty ohhh, the rust monster haaaa I'm so scared rn
What about sending to Sweden
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.
I've been eyeing that RX-7 FD all video lol
Yen is down but shipping and duties are all the way up so one way or another it’s already evened itself out
That is not an Honda integra at the beginning of the video that is a Honda civic type r
Lmfao that Integra was a Civic type R good job 👍😂
Funny looking Integra. Almost looks like an FD2 Type R. lol
I always make the mistake calling a zenki S14 an R33 from a far distance
11:12 forget the car… I want that Honda RVF400R in the background 🥹
I have a JDM Suzuki GSX-R 400r for sale if you looking for a bike 😊👍
@@SandysAutoDetailing sadly I don’t know anyone from the UK to help inspect and export 😞
7:22 uras front bumper
and the sil80 is 100% from the 00s late 90s these type of wheel + color was popular at that time
the covid bubble burst
Prices still high
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.
how long did it take for you to adept to living in japan?
Same bro, except worse I had an R34 in Scotland and I sold the damn thing for 36k 🤦♂️
I was moving to the states….
@1:15 the car you called an integra is actually an FD2 civic type R!! Figured you would like to know that informatio!! Love you videos bro! :)
I’ll be honest I haven’t been watching as much as I should since you had your son, watching you for years and years nice to see another video
these prices are not cheap at all. 13k USD for a 30 year old clapped out used car isn't a good deal.
Yeah that clapped car is 50k in my country
@@secretvenda8574 and it'll go unsold
Nope. S15s sell ridiculous same with FDs @@mervunit
The velo owner talking about over paying for a car…
100%
So that RX7 is over $25k Cdn plus you have to fix it up and import it to Canada. In my opinion that’s not a good deal at all, those prices have gone crazy.
I'd love to see more videos like this. Please, keep us posted on the current market :)
Just a few. K thanks.
1) GC8 WRX 4 door STI
2) RX7 series 3 (dont like fd)
3) R32 Skyline GTR
4) Evo 3 GSR
Much appreciated!
I prefer the Evo 9 personally
8:39 mann JZ sounds never get old so goood. one of my favourites along side Rbs, and Ej's
Great video! You should get a CPL (polarising) filter so it cuts the reflections off the windows.
These videos are my favorite!! I'm loading this one up on the tv
Sam do us all a favour and become a buyers agent , I’m sure we will all be happy to pay you a healthy commission for finding us decent cars at good a good price.
B-GREO are BRIDE seats, but were made in very limited numbers over a year to two in the early 00's.
Driving 154000 kms in Japan must be a nightmare.
Finally after years of watching he finds a s12 silvia! I own 5 of them all with different engines, hell even a twin turbo vq37vhr s2apped widebody one also imported a RS-X fj20et s12 hatch
How’d you find so many 😭
@@TheprodigyTrickShot a s12 was my first car, I have owned well over 15 of them and just always collected them restored them and sold some to other enthusiasts. But I've kept the ones I wanted. I have a youtube channel called Brews&Boost where I repair old nissans that I have also have a turbo nismo 370z and a r32 gtr with a r34 N1 spec Nür engine in it
Thanks for sharing this. Im going to keep an eye on that car lot.
With the Yen so cheap for us Murican's you can plan a vacay in Japan to buy and ship a car and check out the Motorsport Scene while you are there. For the car guys this would be a great Vacay.
The housing market is cheap. Buy houses for $6k
When are you going?
@@CallMeSssnake Houses are cheap, BUT, it doesnt get you a visa to live there,so if you don't get a job there or marry a local, at best you'll best 3 months there every 3 month, and if there's a lot of trash left in the house as it's often the case it's gonna COST YA
@BallanOff they are making it easier to set up a business and that we'll grant you longer stays
@@CallMeSssnakethey also have the “digital nomad visa” which allows stays of 6 months per year provided you make 10,000,000 yen per year or more. (60ish thousand USD)
JZX100 all day long 3:20 omg that bumper on the JZX100 is the best fitment ever aggressive it gives the Jzx a speedy smile with the dropped lip
The ending 😂
Nah mate. Nothing to do with Currency Exchange Rates.
Japanese Used Cars have always been relatively cheap.
After 3 years the additional road tax makes them a losing proposition to the owners. Pay more tax per year of age of the Car.
How would you recommend tuning a Stagea Rs4v with the rb25det neo in it but with the tiptronic auto.
Standalones won't support the transmission it seems.
Yey dealership walkabout!
Awesome video as always Sammit.
Sam, that's a Civic 😂
Found your awesome channel because of these videos glad to see you do another one
Love seeing the prices from a dealer in Japan😊 find ya an exporter and get a dope lhd car for a great price!
Did some research on that 180sx and it's very rusty underneath, and approx...71k in my country... sigh!
12:55 The s12 has got to be one of the most underrated cars, they are still cheap too
Yeah I took advantage of the yen/dollar exchange and bought some Beatrush subframe braces for my IS300. I genuinely paid half taxes and shipping included of what Beatrush USA charges before tax and shipping for the same items.
was there really a difference in price
@@imperial178 yeah huge difference. Beatrush USA wants $323 plus tax and shipping (around $400 total) for the front brace and Blackhawk Japan charged me $146 with taxes and shipping included. The rear brace was about the same prices as well. Basically for the price of one of the braces from Beatrush USA I got both from Blackhawk Japan with taxes and shipping included.
New Zealand has no tariffs or taxes on Jap cars imported here you pay jap price and about 5000 NZ dollars for shipping and road registration
Lol.. bro was standing DIRECTLY infront of that Integra and couldnt tell it was a Civic 😅
1:13 Did SAMMIT just call Civic an Integra? 😂
Sometimes you can find some cars cheaper in the rural parts of japan. I did notice a difference in price between Yokohama and southern Kyushu.
super random question. whats the going rate for celica xx's? i remember they use to be pretty pricey in japan
Against the £ it's still lower than the crash of 2008 when we stopped importing into the UK
107 to AUD at the moment
Ive actually seen an increase in the price of japanese cars lately, for example a year ago you could find Altezzas for around 7k usd shipped, now its more like 10k shipped
25 years ago the auction's in Japan were insane! Australia and New Zealand got some really good imports👍
But aren't those cars rhd?
the only thing i worry about buying cars from japan is rust.
Mainland cars are fine, I had 3 years importing to the UK. Only ever had issues with paintwork on a veilside R32
I mean, you can always undercoat a good example, it's not super expensive
@@UkStiggy How much did importing it cost?
@@Sithhyyou could but that usually needs re done every year or else it starts actually accelerating rust because it traps moisture. There's many factors to consider such as drain tubes clogging over the years and rubber sill plugs on the rockers letting moisture in rusting from the inside out. Not even an undercoating solves that issue. Best to just buy a babied one unless you don't mind a restoration
@@lessthanperfect444restoration is the cool way to go because you have the peace of mind knowing you’ve touched all the spaces in the car. You’ll never really know with a untouched car
I could be wrong but I think those buckets are basically Bride they’re same manufacturer and some places even advertise them as “B-Greo Bride Buckets”
bro really said "i wanna get a 180" while looking at an RX7
Love your videos from New Zealand
Any recommendations for websites to cruise that are selling for local yen rates versus USD
Shout out sammit for dropping the knowledge for so many years now I remember when he did mention about all the scammers on how they would do it but he just reminded me how they can be
4:39 why do those wheels work so well on that s15 XD
That Silvia with the carbon fiber hood already has the turbo engine swap in it.
Check out that custom Honda VFR from the early 1990s, timestamp 11:35. Custom swingarm is awesome.
The V four racing VFR was a hell of a bike
1:41 That literally Honda Civic Type R. hehehehe.
The prices are still bananas lol..
Definitely would love to get one exported for myself! I’ve checked out a couple on the website definitely fair prices
How's the abandoned S15 you got at your shop
in Japan
S15 that come N/a can't you just put in a turbo kit? or is there something fundamentally different between the SR20DE and the SR20DET besides the turbo?
did bro call an 8th gen an integra?
1:38 is a civic FD
The best way is to buy one then import one here. Buying them when they're already in the US is always going to be high.
Sammit sick socks 😉 and really enjoying the Kei car "aka" diecast car content also amazing cars 👌 Sammit you should pick one up for the collection 👍
Sileighty is what I’d get or an EG6 or EK9.
Anyone know how MUCH to ship and do the compliance in Australia?
Love the videos, how much does a 1980 180b wagon 1.8l gasoline engine with a 4speed go for there?
Sam then he sees every car: "gosh i want one soo bad", i mean i dont blame u, i want soo many cars too
I still gotta wait 3 more years to get cars like these tho, i want an Rx7 fc to be my first car
colt ralliart at the back tho
Sup sammit, I’m moving to Okinawa later this year. You know any dealers or where to look for cars?
Hey buddy! I'm in Sydney and any chance you can find me some good after market parts for my DE3A mitsubishi FTO 1996 GPX I have here 😊.
Cheers!
Getting them to UK is still +£2k for shipping and duty+vat @20% from the whole price(shipping included). There save you some research if you are in UK.
Man I love your socks where did you get them?
0:40 just saw truck_kun in the back💀💀
Im not going to lie, the Honda N600 would be a fun little car.
No interest in that olive green Rasheen, eh?
A few weeks ago. I saw my 1st s15 here in the states. I lost my shit! Was so excited to see one
Is that a Ford Escort mk2 in the bodyshop?!?!?!?! WOW!
im coming in august to go r34 gtr shopping :D
That FDs bodykit… I wouldn’t hesitate to buy
good thing I live in Guam and can fly to Japan for around 400usd. Just had a port call in Yokosuka and went to Yokohama and almost bought another sti ra for 8k!! Love the video and now cant wait to go back!!
That's not an Integra, it's a Civic Type R (FD2R). It's a really good car which is also THE LAST N/A Civic Type R ever
How could I get one to the states
Bro that outro 😂......my ears! Hahaha...... would so luv to come to Japan and hunt for a car, maybe Mitsubishi celest or colt ..... I'm thinking rotary ❤️
You should fix thst 180SX up. I picked up my 180SX with a CA18DET back in 2000. It was 3k AUD then 3k for shipping and 3k for compliance so it was a bargain and I still own it 24yrs later.
that jzx100 was sooo clean 😍, great video bro!!!
Have to pay around 15/20k plus for transportion and rego and rwc in austrlaia so its the same price if you buy it from here
Sam needs to do a budget D16 turbo series where he would build a D16 engine. That would be sick.
I’m interested in what the going price now is to import a supra gen iv tt aero top into the US?
7:10 literally stole the words from my mouth lol. Caboh fibah
The vfr at 11:13 😍 I want to know how much for Motor bikes are over there?
