JAPANESE CAR AUCTIONS GETTING CHEAPER?

MERCH ► sammit.net
FOLLOW ME ► @sammit01
Back at Japan's biggest car auction to see if there are any good deals to be made. After looking around it doesn't take long to find some cars that have misleading reports. You can no longer trust the auction report. But on the bright side, we have started to notice that the pricing on a lot of car models has come down. They are getting cheaper!

[@donnyp.4456]

Prices may have gone down in the auctions but that's not gonna stop the importers here in the US to mark them up high especially since people will pay the money

[@jakehennessy3216]

Correct but if you dont pay it and show that prices have gone down they will have no choice but to lower their prices

[@stefan_4508]

How will prices ever go down when these cars are essentially a limited quantity item with unlimited demand since everyone who buys these expects it to be an “investment” and therefore won’t sell it unless they get more than they paid for it, which further drives the prices up

[@jakehennessy3216]

@@stefan_4508 yes 100% but it all depends what you’re looking for if you’re talking about GTRs and supras then ye I don’t think they will ever come down but it’s gona cost you no matter what or where you are if you want a clean car

[@griffon9718]

It’s always gonna be more expensive in the us I mean like it cost money for the car to be imported

instead of having to many stupid projects car why not focus on few one and get a quality project car that tou can enjoy more rather than wasting on a a pile of unfinished or never will be finished projects car

Why the heck are you so afraid of rust Sam?? It is totally fixable!! I come from Canada and cars from 4-5 years ago are already starting to desintegrate..... I've fixed more rusted out 20 y-o cars in my life than any other issues.... I hope cars in Japan are ready to get saved under my expertise!! Can't wait to go back...

[@lonerlink1993]

lmao very true, a lot of peeps dont wanna tackle it though.

[@elgenerz]

Considering the price to import one to North American, I would expect that auction prices have gone down because fewer people want to pay to ship them.

You're passing some of the most reluctant cars. In your next video shows us some exterior, interior and engine bay of - All the Evos - Integra type r (all of them) - Civic type r (all of them) - Supra - Skyline - Nsx - S200 - Accors euro R -

Can you bid online for any of these cars ? And if so what's the website? thanks

Hey Sam just wanted to know what cars you have back in Australia. I've been watching since the Miata but never have seen your vids back at home.

[@nakazul1]

He used to have a R34, think it was a GTT. Sold if for a Honda Civic he put NOS on i belive to see if it blow up. The car never gave up and its still there , if he havent sold it while in Japan. The videos are on here, but on no play list.

[@ryantrivett6628]

Really hope that rx7 wasn't cold when you revved it right after starting it

[@L4rceny]

It's not that complicated importing a car yourself. The paperwork is tedious and more time consuming, but if you don't want to pay these insane markups, diy is the way to go.

Dang sounds rough lol

[@ZacBaldy]

So that Blue Spirit R, sad to see but a simple failure looks like. So some very odd occasions you can actually have a coolant seal fail on the inside and outside of a rotor housing, which would be where you can see that smoke coming up from the engine bay also, could have also been a coolant seal failure with an exhaust leak, which so many actuators and seals and moving parts down there could have been a lot of things, picking that thing up cheap is just a quick rebuild away from being a nice car☺️🥰

[@user-ux5wj5iy5w]

it was so sad to see, you need someone to inspect in person. This particular spirit R was given a grade 4b, however if you look at it - there's no way this is a 4. It went unsold with a starting bid of 3,480,000 yen and came up again last week but given an R grade with front end damage.

You would have been able to buy a late 80's Mustang/Camaro for next to nothing right now...(Rear wheel drive, manual, cheap to fix/upgrade.) But nope. Those cars cost $6k plus making other used cars even more expensive.

[@rob8795]

Sam, you should build another forged miata roadster for your wife. The forged miata was your best build ever. You know what to do know and it would be an easy build/gift for your wife. 400 rwp would destroy alot of cars on the road for May.
