The Yen has dropped value! NOW is the time to buy a JDM car...

In this episode we take a trip to a JDM car dealership to see what the REAL price of JDM cars is at right now! We were so surprised by the value of cars in Japan, that we may have even bought one. We fist take a visit to Boostar and Weld to check out some amazing builds and garages along the way. Hope you guys enjoy another unpredictable day and night in Japan from Drift Games!

I think since Ryusei looked after you guys so well you should return the favour and get him over to drift masters

[@JP_A3]

yeah they definitely should, seems like a nice guy and a good driver

[@DexHD69021]

agreed!!

[@zachskrt4744]

you were well and truly ahead of time

This channel has the best JDM Drift history and culture iv ever seen

I love this video and seeing all these different garages in Japan and the world. Love all the content yall give us ❤ keep it up.

[@Bombaclock]

Love your garage tours,keep up the top notch work guys! :D

[@Kyleb94]

You should definitely start shipping cars home and make some money would be a good series to watch

[@coopsnz1]

There no money there 31% tax add custom duty 8% with 23% vat . This idiot hasn't imported shit

I love that you guys put the RC drifting stuff in there, love it!

[@RicondaRacing]

It's nice to see Japan hasn't lost that automotive spirit like the US has lost.

[@santalfredos17]

Fun Fact: RC Drift Drivers are somehow like sim driver. The crazy thing is that i've done a lot of RC drifting and then i bought a miata AND a sim.. The first time i tried to drift it was so natural 'cause i knew exactly what was goin on. Also Mitto Steel was into rcdrifting AND drift (you can see in the Outsiders doc). Also Tetsujin is a RC Drift company that now has a JZX that runs in the formula drift jp.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

🤣🤣 Crazy to think I bought a 180sx for £1500 ten or so years ago. Had it for about a month before the bottom end expired. I just left it where it was... never saw it again😂

[@SpaceRanger187]

You should go around the country side and see what you can find and just get a container and ship it back..There's tons of cars all over okianwa.. Rusty but lots of good stuff

[@UNCL3AN1]

Everything in Oki is overpriced due to so many US military people overpaying for everything. If it's a good price, more than likely it's a rusted turd that none of the locals will buy out there. We lived there 2020-2022.

[@brotherabid]

prices are going to keep coming down, the US is heading for the next depression - (worser than a recession) so prices will keep falling for the next 4+ years, that will be the time to buy, the value of the cars in japan is dependant of the demand from the US market, if it gets bad in the US then its going to have a knock on effect around the world

[@MrGrentch]

That might happen and US interest _definitely_ has an effect. Prices can be insane over there and sites like BAT haven't helped. I'd also suggest dodgy dealers/sellers in the US preying on some buyer's ignorance of actual prices in Japan(and elsewhere) didn't help. I'd also suspect some Japanese sellers realising some Western buyers would pay a 1000 quid or more for a "JDM" bumper that they could get locally for a couple of 100, so now that bumper 'became' 1000 quid, drove some of the rise too, and who could blame them. Or it could be down to the covid effect which saw all sorts of collector bubbles, the people in the bubbles were convinced wasn't one(as usual). EG the Rolex watch bubble a very good example. That effect is over now and 'values' have dropped across the board. JDM cars will likely deflate too. Though it'll take a while as people (IMHO) paid way over the odds for certain cars, some were the usual 'investors' and they won't want to sell below what they paid and lose their shirts. They'll hold out as long as they can. Going by other bubbles when you see any Big Names selling off parts or most of their collection, that's just before the rush starts.

[@doolanbrian]

Dave .. always respectful to people and their businesses .. it’s great to see 💪

[@nismoylan]

If you are used to the Yen prices over the years these cars are still soooo expensive. For the locals it must be wild to see an NA s14 considered cheap not too long ago a turbo one would have been half the price. It will be interesting to see what happens once the Yen starts to go the other way. International demand has to be keeping these propped up.

[@jackprince4695]

They still expensive , they was expensive before and they expensive now . I’m still not paying them crazy prices

[@aaabbb9953]

Thank you very much for this video. Finally something different than every KZbinr who flies to Japan. It is always a repeating pattern, drifting on ebisu, life in the city and so on. It's terribly boring. When you see it again and again. You even see the same cars every time you come to Japan. Visiting Tsukuba or other tracks and showing time attack - which is an increasingly popular field - you can count on one finger the number of times someone showed it, as well as visiting such workshops. Everyone always shows what everyone has already seen and what "clicks" well, e.g. hks Thank you very much for showing these little-known places, because they usually work in silence, and the effects are amazing.

[@driftgames_life]

❤️

[@JP_A3]

how much would vrt be on those s14s is the question. also how do you go about importing a car yourself without going through an importing company? hard to find any info tbh

[@barracollins4444]

€8-10k on vrt would be my guess unless there pre 93

In Australia no one has any idea about my car I've changed engines coils Cam crank MAF sensors $7K latter it still has a miss on the 3rd cylinder. VQ37VHR 😢 KILL ME PLEASE.

[@HatsuneM1ku01]

Cheap? Bro 300zx Tt 2+2 could be imported for 13-15k in 2018. Now they are almost 50-60k to import. Schassis could be had for less than 10k to import. Now they are going for over 20k. The time to import was 6 years ago

Facts: I bought a 260rs last month, just waiting for her to ship 🚢 😁😁😁

[@danuvip]

after my research the price felt even more, 1,6mio yen is now equal to 9.945€

[@tonynugget7223]

It'll keep dropping like all the western countries. Especially the g7

[@stanneh1978]

Dont do it the people of Japan have coordinated to hike the prices of these rust boxes for a decade. I love Japanese cars but those who follow the market know full well what the japanese people have been doing. Let them keep the rot boxes for a year or two then buy then up for pennies on the pound. They deserve nothing less than to be stuck with the stock.

[@BuddyBellTree]

I don't think it's anything to do with the Yen. There are hundreds of thousands of those kinds of cars in Japan. Supply and demand

It cracks me up how you talk to the Japanese. You slow..... down...... and minimize the...... way... you talk to...... them as if..... they are..... having to read your lips. You have someone who can interpret for you. They probably think you're tarded or something.
