We Bought 10 Cars At Japans Biggest Auction!

[@gafrers]

Fantastic selection. Kei cars FTW 1:03:34 but that 5 Turbo 2 is AMAZING

[@Petalpusher28]

That no pillar honda van, you should have folded the seats, that's its real trick. Totally flat into the floor

[@ralphbuschman3364]

Oh man, so many of those small vans . Crazy beautiful machines, so many is wonderful condition.

[@Dakotaro]

I prefer the single-seater Midget. It seems possible to change the transmission to 5MT.

[@Waybeforethefame]

I prefer the cargo but if it was stick shift.

[@smuncledean]

The daihatsu taft looks like the n-box but better lol the taft also comes in turbo

[@Waybeforethefame]

Dammm right had no idea it was turbo

[@smuncledean]

@@Waybeforethefame Before it was discontinued back in like '86 it was a non kei turbo diesel

[@ohheyitspaul]

Nick and David road trip in the TWO SEATER midget. 10/10 would watch for the banter lol

[@Waybeforethefame]

Maybe a double midget roadtrip!

[@Mendy-s]

Lmao imagine that hahahaha

[@coletrickle-km7cl]

58:20--That olive Color GTR is easily 6 figures outside japan. the NUR spec means it's named after the german nurburgring racetrack.

[@coletrickle-km7cl]

1:03-That was a french🇫🇷 1980 Renault R5. Renault took there front engine front wheel drive economy car called the 'le-car' in the usa. or it was called the 5 elsewhere. and they re-engineered it moving the engine behind the driver. They did this to make a rally car out of it. So you were looking at the street version. It has a turbo intercooled 4 cylinder engine making 160hp. The racing version made 350hp....in 1980! THAT R5 is got to be one of a very few in japan.

[@Waybeforethefame]

Wow 6figures is crazy

[@34Kuro]

From wikipedia: In May 2001, the M·Spec[62] was introduced. It was based on the V-Spec II, but had special "Ripple control" dampers, revised suspension set up, stiffer rear sway bar and a leather interior with heated front seats. The 'M' on the M·Spec stood for Mizuno who is the chief engineer of Nissan. The only other change was the removal of the carbon fibre bonnet which was replaced with the standard aluminium bonnet. In February 2002, Nissan launched a final production model of the R34 GT-R called the Skyline GT-R V·Spec II Nür[63] and the Skyline GT-R M·Spec Nür, which were based on the V-Spec II N1. The Nür was named after the famous German Nürburgring racetrack, where the Skyline was developed.

[@romelrebosura2725]

I laughed when David said.."BASURA" on Ford Taurus..HAHAHAHA

[@Waybeforethefame]

Crazy part is he wants to buy it

[@nigelcox7477]

Apparently that M2 1015 is a special car - ‘For the Autozam AZ-1, 50 examples of the ‘M2 1015’ were planned, which included dual fog lights recessed in the bonnet, a new front bumper and rear wing, and full body paintwork. It was available in just three different colours, including silver as offered here. Despite the planned production, it is understood that just 25 were built. ‘

Which one

I can't believe you guys got both of the Midget 2's. I wish I could afford to get one.

@@Waybeforethefame I might.

[@Retrofordguy]

The Honda Fit is the jdm version of the Honda Jazz at 1:04:45

[@Waybeforethefame]

I’m in Japan shouldn’t it be called jazz then? and fit everywhere else

[@AK.2425]

@@Waybeforethefameit’s called Fit in Japan, US and a few other places and Jazz in Europe

[@csorgb05]

That blue Beat is stunning.

[@marks-0-0]

Jusg wondering does the 25 year rule in the US refer to the ability to register the vehicle or customs allowing in to be imported? For example if you find your dream car thats 24 year old could you import it and store in for 12 months then register it.

[@ThatMattWhite]

Register for road use. I saw some vids a while back, guy was importing 5yo Kei trucks to be used only on farms and other off-road use.

[@Waybeforethefame]

Yeah you could pay for storage in Japan , it’s usually 100 a month . A lot of people do that for the expensive cars like GTRs and type Rs

[@Calvingeneering]

This has been asked a million times, if its not 25yo the day it arrives in the USA it wont be allowed to be registered.

[@anthonycatania5613]

52:00 ooo comes with a cigarette lighter chargeable butt plug. What a steal.

SURFS UP WITH THE KEIS!

[@JoshFloorp]

Idk why it is so funny to see American cars in Japan, and how big those cars are compared to the JDM units. I am sure that a lot of Japanese people love how these American cars are, but for us in the USA, we see these everywhere and it's like whatever for us haha.

[@Mendy-s]

Yeah it's funny how the roles are flipped

[@stevanbertarelli]

Dude that red pajero is fireee, if i didn’t have one coming i would definitely be all over that.

[@Waybeforethefame]

yeah that red one is real nice

[@scottchamberlain5594]

Agreed. It's a Motorsports Edition.

[@ZUKME]

He said its for the nitrous lol 😂😂😂. Auto vacuum hubs. You dont see them because they fail and people put manual hubs on. I want that mini front end zuki van

[@LeonardMagnusson]

hope you are showing them over here to. i have always liked smaller cars.

[@Waybeforethefame]

We will!

[@compo308]

Lots of cool cars there!

[@scottjames51]

Question for you guys I just imported 3 kei Van's into the UK 2 of them had parts included and 1 had winter tyres but as my shipping agent keeps telling me if they are not ATTACHED to the vehicle then they will be removed at the port all the parts went missing - do you have the same issue with parts? If you dont who is your agent maybe I would use them let me know..

[@Waybeforethefame]

correct you can not export anything inside the cars. If the car has parts in the car they'll throw them away prior to export unless the company you used ships it to you

[@ThatMattWhite]

Damn maybe it'd be worthwhile to ship via containers then instead of RORO

[@jeremywentworth1833]

What have you imported with us not having any restrictions definitely Kei cars are getting more popular always at 8 to 10 Honda S660s for sale on Autotrader . Always loads of Copens which are sold here so maybe that's why.

[@ralphbuschman3364]

Hi all. Have'nt seen a Subaru R1 or R2. Is there any left at these japanese auctions. There a cool little Kei Car.

[@Waybeforethefame]

I need to look them up maybe I walked past them without even knowing

[@ktraughb]

With traffic in most American cities, more of us prefer automatic than you think. Nothing I hate worse than a clutch in stop and go.

[@Waybeforethefame]

As someone who live in NYC I agree BUT I still love me a clutch for the days I can open it up

Renault 5 maxi Turbo here in Europe £60 grand + very good low mileage say under 30,000 miles over £100,000 Amongst having the engine in the rear & been literally a rally cay for the road it was the red 5 Tutbo in 007 Never say Never again..Has gauges etc built into the roof .

[@Waybeforethefame]

This video is over a hour long, How long would it be if I showed ALL the kei cars lol

[@jeremywentworth1833]

Reason Copens won't be open is probably as they aren't 25 years old yet . Oldest are 21ish and newest 12 years old.

[@Waybeforethefame]

All the honda 660 are open and even the new Jimnys

[@jeremywentworth1833]

I know why sorry as we sold ours at least 7 or 8 years ago , just asked my Mrs and she said ours had remote lock-in if you forgot to lock it with remote as long as the key wasn't in the ignition. Which I do remember was a pain at the petrol station.

[@gabaquino]

You buy stuff to sell.. keep that in mind, your manual car might not appeal to most specially those who don't know how to drive manual cars.

people who don't know how to drive manual usually are not looking to get a right hand drive car imported from Japan

Honda fit is a Jazz only in Japan its a Fit for Rent of the world its a Jazz. In Europe you have be over 70 to own.1. its renound for old age pensioners owning them . An old Yop gear both Clarkson & Mays mum well into their 70d at the time owned them.

Surely some of the vehicles must have Japanese service history , with Google translate least you have an idea if they have been looked after, every car has a service book . Surely you would think if something has 7000 km a Japanese buyer would want to verify it.

Usually, mileage discrepancies get pointed out on the auction sheets if it doesn't line up with the service history.
