Cars For Sale in Japan are CHEAP! Since Japanese Yen Crash!

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.

its only "not bad" now... but years ago these used to be 3-5kUSD

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.

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.

It's an Civic FD Type R not Integra btw

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.

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.

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!

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.

Yen is down but shipping and duties are all the way up so one way or another it’s already evened itself out

[scottietrent]

Thought that was a civic not a Integra?

[CallMeSssnake]

I remember 8 years ago when R33 GTR's were selling for $10, 000-$13, 000

[Fabulousprofound]

11:12 forget the car… I want that Honda RVF400R in the background 🥹

[ATOMIK_DUNKZ]

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.

[zWaldKuozjiee]

[jimmywatsup]

8:39 mann JZ sounds never get old so goood. one of my favourites along side Rbs, and Ej's

[SamuraiR]

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

[shadowknight]

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
