BIDDING ON CARS AT JAPANS BIGGEST AUCTION!

MERCH ► sammit.net
FOLLOW ME ► @sammit01
USS Tokyo is one of Japan's biggest auction houses & you can always find any car you're looking for there. I show you some JDM cars there for sale & point out problems with them & why you should never trust the auction reports or the people selling them.

The thing right now is the gap in cars. Since most of the Japanese auto makers stopped making sports cars in 2001-2002 and only started again recently (the exception being the 350z) there is a 5-10ish year gap in cars. Because of this you either buy new, buy cars that are only a few years used (which end up being not much cheaper than new), or, like everyone has been doing for 20ish years, you buy old cars from the 80s and 90s. The problem is that these old 80s and 90s cars were cheap back so everyone bought them, now with so few left and demand rising the supply is drying and prices are soaring. Also now with the global shortage of computer chips not many new cars are getting made so that's even more demand on the used market. When all the 90s cars are gone in few years (either rusted to death, crashed into oblivion, or show pieces in someone's collection) people are probably going to have to move to 350zs that have started showing up used. Problem is that in that period of time there was really only evos, WRXs, and 350z/370z, until you get to the GT86/BRZ which is still too new to go for good prices used. If you look at it from a dates perspective (Only looking at Japanese cars). Rear wheel drive, 2 door: Prelude: End of production 2001 Silvia: End of production 2002 Supra MkIV: End of production 2002 RX-7: End of production 2002 370Z: End of production 2020 (RIP to the legendary line of the Z, 1969-2000, 2002-2020) MX-5: Ongoing GT 86/BRZ: Start of production 2012 (25 years after it's namesake, the AE86 ended production) Supra MkV: Start of production 2019 (17 year gap) Four wheel drive, 2 door: Eclipse GSX: End of production 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT: End of production 2000 Skyline GT-R: End of production 2002 Celica GT-Four: End of production 2006 GT-R: Start of production 2009 (7 year gap and completely different price point and target demographic) Four wheel drive, 4 door: EVO: End of production 2016 WRX/STI: Ongoing So there is a gap in the early 2000s, only the WRX, EVO, MX-5, and Z series bridge this gap, and two of those are now dead. The WRX is the only 4 door 4-wheel drive left. The GT-R is the only 4-wheel drive coupe left and it's price puts it out of the standard "sports car" market into contention with luxury brands like Porsche. We have three options in the rear-wheel drive coupe section but all at different price points and purposes (the MX-5 and 86 are closer in price, but one is roadster). Miatas are way overpriced used as it is and the few 350Z and 370Zs out there are going to be the only relatively good stock entering the used market until the 86/BRZs start drifting in. The only good thing I can see is that the Civic Type-R is also a thing now at a somewhat decent price point. To give an idea on the issue with price, a Spec-R B Package S15 retailed for 2,290,000 Yen, or $20,760 back in 2000, this roughly $32,450 in 2021 cash. To give us something to relate this to, the MX-5 sold for $23,000 in 2000. A 2021 hardtop MX-5 is $34,100 with no upgrades, which is generally following inflation. Basically there were cheapish sports cars. There aren't really any cars like this anymore. The Supra MkV is perhaps a good analog for this. The Supra we all know and love is a 6-cyl, but Toyota does sell a turbo inline 4. Turbo i4 rear-wheel drive coupe, a perfect match up for the S15. It goes for $43,090, with no upgrade, absolutely bone stock, and that's MSRP. It's $10,500 more than the a spec'd Silvia would be in todays money. The 6-cyl turbo is $51,090 for the stock version, which is actually a better price than the MkIV turbo, which was $40,500 in 1998 (or about $66,000 in 2021). This is the point, you have NA cars like the MX-5 and 86/BRZ at $30-35k, then you have a single 4-cyl turbo option at $43k, and then you get into the 6-cyl which is the Supra at $51k, and the GT-R at $114k (whereas an R33 cost $77k new, in 2021 money). Even if you get a BRZ and try to turbo it, you're going to end up having to do a lot more work to get it turbo'd as the standard FA20 is not really built for this. It can be done, but it will cost, and you can't run high boost without changing some internals to allow for this. It's important to note that the FA20DIT in the WRX is quite different than the standard FA20, and even it has well documented problems with con-rods when it's pushed, and by problems I mean punching holes in the engine kinda problems. Conversely, for the same price, in 2021 cash, you could get yourself a B package Spec-R S15, factory turbo'd, and well suited for modding and tunning.

Even so, if I were buying for me I wouldn't care so much about authenticity, so I kinda liked some of those side-lot cars. (I'd have looked hard under that white Sileghty with the atrocious steering wheel. That coulda been my pick. (Even the kind of excessive tail didn't even look *bad* to me.
