HOW MUCH ARE JDM CARS IN JAPAN AT A DEALERSHIP IN 2022?

I was in Okinawa from 2008-2012. R32 gtr's were going from 4-8k. I went through a few different cars with one of my last ones being a 97 chaser tourer v. All black, manual. Mint mint for 10k

The car culture in Australia has dramatically switch to owning a 4x4. All the teens and men with money are buying them up while other cars like the Holden Commodores are only dropping in prices because nobody is into sedans.

People really sleep on the Holden commodores perfect sleeper for half the price of a hellcat 🤷🏾‍♂️ hellcats are nice and all but the Holden commodores black on black have that sleek aggressive style I can’t seem to get over

[@Jez3134]

Since the death of the commodore and falcon it seems those buyers have all gone dual cab now. The price of 80s/90's 4x4s has skyrocketed. I think with all the lockdowns forcing people to stay local, it really inspired people to explore their own states

Thanks I appreciate it

[@john.f.remedy.237]

Looks like an authentic Forester STI, but it also could be engine and interior swapped. They’re real but I’ve never seen that color though. I used to want an Aristo so bad back in the days…

[@CaptTwo6]

I looked online after I filmed and you’re right. Now I know for future vids. Think it was the first Cross Sports I’ve filmed

[@emrico1]

The lights front and back (black paint), scoop, brembos, roof rail paint (silver), seats, steering wheel and stickers tell me it's most likely a legit STI. If it was a six speed then you can say with much more confidence. Never seen that colour. I want it!

[@jackryan4313]

You think someone engine and interior swapped a car to make it look like something else because the exterior paint is a color other than originally offered?

[@john.f.remedy.237]

Subarus are interchangeable like LEGOs (I have one). From the US to Japan, GCs to GDs WRXs and Foresters are commonly STI swapped cause they can all use the same parts underneath…

[@jozensenz]

Thts a 2007 forester sg9 its the sti version with a 2.5ltr boxer and 6 speed manual and brembo brakes and thts the difference from the sg5

[@EliteZer0]

Admittedly, I could equate this jump in prices for JDM cars to the swooning and praise for them overseas. With a growing influence from social media encouraging people to get these types of cars, plus the US import age for cars also nearing for most desirable JDM cars, salesmen are catching onto this and jacking up their prices. The same thing happened with AE86’s with the popularity boom of Initial D, and now they’re at a point where they’re limited to enthusiasts with lots of cash. People all over the world are discovering JDM over the internet, and instead of buying a car already in their country, they decide to import increasingly rare foreign cars like Silvias, which increases the price and scarcity. And the minute one of these cars are crashed, the parts prices increase. Economics only play a small role in this issue, while the real issue is popularity.

[@AK-gb9rp]

i mean in theory everytime a car crashes then the part prices would DECREASE since one of these is totalled and the rest of it can be sold as available used parts, no ?

That is how the 06 forster sti is built, the everything from the seats to the dash to the front bumper and intercooler should jave sti painted on it, also info plate is on the right side of the engine bay to show it has an ej255. Ngl, one od the cleanest foresters I ever seen, not a fan of the color tho. I prefer normal subaru blue with volks te37s

[@CaptTwo6]

Very good info man 🤙 but yeah I have to agree…Subie blue is always a classic color

[@wt8213]

Japan never had the 2.5L (EJ255), the JDM XT's (non sti) got the JDM spec EJ205 (230hp give or take), and the STI got the exact same engine and trans as the Impreza sti of those generations (EJ207). On paper they are said to make 265hp but in reality they make the same 280-300hp the Impreza sti made. Subaru put it done as making less to not take away from there hero car the Impreza sti. It obviously feels a little slower. But that's just because the Forester weighs more.

[@UsdmAristo]

@@CaptTwo6 it was an option “active 4 wheel steering” but is usually removed because it makes the car spin out easier. Active 4 wheel steering was also an option on soarers. It was an option because of the tight Japanese corners and urban sprawls. Which is why usdm didn’t get that option. Although is there if you source the right parts
