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.

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.

@thefallensaints Ай бұрын

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.

@johnsonrepp Ай бұрын

@Octane_au Ай бұрын

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 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.

@victorsong8416 9 күн бұрын

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.
