As I see it, the prices of 90's JDM classics are skyrocketing due to two main factors, resulting in a "perfect storm" of heightened demand, so to speak: 1. An entire generation who grew up consuming media featuring these machines, dreaming about owning them are now coming of age, and some have the means to pursue them. 2. The US 25-year Classic Car Clause. As these vehicles become legal to import to the US, of course the demand is bound to increase, especially as it coincides perfectly with the former.

The main reason of the price sky rocketing is US market's 25 year import law. There is a hunger for these cars and there are many wealthy enough car enthusiasts. This pulls the whole market up. And yes, Fast&Furious is one of the reason for this hunger. If I compare the situation with Europe, there is way less car guys willing to drive a RHD cars, which keeps the price of JDM gems on lower level compared to USA, but the prices are rising slowly as well, since the market is like communicating vessels. LHD variants are pretty much tied to american prices. And I'm worried, that this trend will continue, because of very strict emission regulations and corporate fuel economy standards. Many of the car manufacturers announced, that they will no longer import or produce sports cars for european market, because they are being punished for such move. Unfortunatelly, it's quite difficult to register such car as a historic vehicle, because it should be as close to stock as possible. Also there is 30 year boundary (set by FIVA), compared to 25 in the US. I also shouldn't forgot to mention, that car modification is very often forbiden in many cases in european countries and if you want to do that the right way, it's extremely expensive.
idk where you get your info but jdm cars are way more expensive in the eu, compare the yearly salary of europeans vs us americans and you see that theres a huge gap, a supra starts at around 25€-30€ k the average yearly salary after taxes in germany is like 35€k compared to the us salary of around 45k. its not about "EWW LHD" its about " should i really spend a year of my life working to pay a car i dont even know i can comfortably drive?"

I understand, that it makes for us a lots of cars pure unobtanium, but still, it has ZERO effect on the prices. Surprisingly, some cars are even more expensive here, than in Germany. Because people want them.
I bought my R32 with ~134,000km almost two years ago and it was still pretty pricey compared to prices just a year or two before I bought it. Just three years ago, decently clean R32s were selling, locally in Japan, for about 10-15k.
im pretty sure the price rising is just the US import law, those cars are getting 25 year old and ready for import, specially skylines wich they didnt get in the US :D
Correct, but Skylines jumped in price after 4-5 years of already being legal here. When the R32 first became importable in 2014 you could get a GTS-T for around 10-12k USD, and a GT-R was around 20k. In 2020 those prices have doubled. I bought a 1992 Aristo in 2020 for 12k USD, and everyone I’ve talked to has agreed that it was an absolute steal.
I must say - it’s a bit of a shame prices are rising on 90s JDM cars. I say that because gone are the days of buying a S13 or Supra to throw around in the hills or track without having to worry too much about crashing. Now we keep them in the garage or baby them about (there are exceptions) on the street. They were designed to be driven and hard, a lot of owners will be hesitant to do that when there’s so much money on the line.
Yup. Sad to see them rise in price most of them buy because of the hype around them. They want attention and internet points. No real enthusiasts left.
Sorry to break it to you, but 240's are unreliable junks. No one wants them and they won't be worth a lot of money. Those cars are trash, they'll never be collectables just an old classic car from the 80's or a real JDM car that big in the car scene.
Hardtops are more sought after in the US. Most USDM supra's are aerotop or targa as we called it. there is a hierarchy with supras to the LHD usdm owners.
JDM Masters, I just want you to know you guys are the best channel out there for JDM cars. It's criminal how you only have 146k subs. Thanks for the awesome, great quality, and informative videos. Keep em coming!
I think some more possible reasons for increasing prices is due to following: 1. Cars over time get wrecked from all sorts of reasons and we have less and less on the roads. 2. Many are poorly modified examples that will never be able to be reverted to original form or in horrible condition due to stance/widebody modifications. Also, these 2 reasons alone help stock models increase even further. You can even see prices staying very high on newer Japanese sports cars in places like Canada where we have winter. Example, my 2018 WRX STI (D-Type) the price of mine dropped $2,000.00 since buying new which is amazing on a 3 year old car. (Try that with a BMW haha) Reason is most models are winter driven and have very high mileage and rust over time. Also lots of poorly modified examples. So if you store it in the winter and keep it stock, your value basically stays the same as new and than after 10+ years begins to rise. Another example, since I'm a Subaru guy.....in 2007 a 2004 WRX STI cost on average $25,000-30,000 in Canada. In 2020.....it still costs the same on high mileage models with rust. If you have a low mileage, winter stored it's even higher now! 3 years ago a clean stock example sold for $35,000.....now I bet it would even more. So yeah, Japanese sports cars (especially in manual) overall will either keep there value, or keep rising. I think with the the possible ban of gasoline car sales in places like Europe, Japan & Canada in 2030(if it happens) will raise prices even more since you won't even be able to buy anything like this new anymore especially in manual! Also, for those who read all this, some other interesting information regarding Canada and JDM cars. What I have noticed from all my years of monitoring the market, RHD drives here actually have a very low value compared to LHD models. Like WRX STI LHD would be $25,000, but if it's a JDM model the value is only like $17,000. The biggest reason for this is because insurance in Canada for RHD drives is extremely expensive and many companies don't even want to insure you!!! The only RHD cars here that are expensive is basically the R34 GTR, Everything else is cheaper by a lot compared to a LHD model.
There is a garage here in Seattle, Washington that opened two years ago that imports sports cars. The popularity of car tuning in general has grown in popularity. Everyone wants to be as different as possible and feeds the desire for rare imported cars. This garage brings in 4 to 6 cars a month from each country out of Japan, Austrailia and Europe (particularly Italy). It is a brisk business and the cars can sale for a great deal more here than they can in the home country. They have recently had R32 Nismo, V·Spec, and an Australian models. All sold for over $90,000. They sale for an average price around $120,000. Beyond R32 GTR cars they sale Autozam AZ-1, RX-7, Suzuki Alto Turbo RS, Lancer Evo, Subaru WRX and other JDM cars known for drifting or fun sports cars that were never sold in the US. They also sale European brands that have a rally racing heritage but were never sold in the US like, Ford RS200, Škoda 130LR Evo, Lancia Stratos and other rare cars that sale for $60,000 and up. The most affordable I have seen from them was a Lancia Stratos with 160,000km on it for $46,000.
The right hand "JDM" Supras are going up in value now because they are finally legal to import into the US. They are still cheaper than the limited production US spec cars.
Just a minor thing - JZA80 calipers are not brembo (2 piston and 4 piston variants). I believe they are sumimoto branded, and the RZ-S had an option to install the larger brakes where the RZ had them standard
Good info I didnt know that was the difference between the RZ and RZ-S. That explains why my car had the big brakes on the front and crappy little N/A brakes on the rear.
i'm amateur kick boxer for about 16 years, i was need for fast car, i'm very thankful that i get my engine from japan, very useful, thank god everyday.
I would love to see more used car dealerships and prices of cars, like honda's for example, ek4, ek9, s2k etc, and other toyotas like levin, ae86 etc :D
I have had the same sticker with a red supra on my fridge since 1995. I remember looking at it as a kid thinking thats a nice car. I didnt know what it was back then..and now this sticker is still there.
I remember walking past a used 1995 Supra at my local dealership back in 1997. It was selling for 24k with very low mileages. Even have the red holiday on sale tag on because nobody was interested in them. This was all before all the fast and furious mania. Now looking back the same car probably sell for 1 million dollars. How time changed
had a chance to buy a 2002 r34 gtr Vspec 2 10yrs ago for $57k aud showroom condition but thought I could get a new car for that, now that car is worth $17k and the GTR $100K+++ massive regret
Yeah but that’s for a really good pristine example which are rare to find.Would you have been able to keep the r34 in good condition without modifying it for 10 years? Back then you wouldn’t know how much it’s be worth in the future. You’d probably have been able to sell it for the same price you bought it. We won’t know what the price of this R34 GTR are gonna be until 2027 when the US will officially be able to import them
Prices are going up because you can import these to America now and people here will pay top dollar. Also, covid-19 has created a huge buyers market for used cars. If they are desirable as is, the price will be higher.
Early 2000's here in FL, you used to be able to grab a NA auto for about 9k. 15k for a TT auto, 20-25k for a TT. Now a NA auto or 5 speed is like 25k. TT auto is 50k, TT manuals are like 60K~100k.
Prices on supras are high for 2 reasons. 1. When they announced the new supra to be a bmw with bmw parts they knew they would never get any better than the MKIV. 2. The guys who loves supras are now between 20-35 years old and are now financially able enough to buy one.
My new favorite channel!! I’m US military stationed here in Yokosuka! Not too far away from where you film some of your videos. Would love to meet you one day and go to Daikoku or something!
People were so disappointed with the new Supra...the old Supra price doubled overnight...even with the improved version the new one hits 62km/h in 4.1secs vs 4.6secs from 25 years ago🥳
Its not just JDMs, exotics too. The prices of gated Murcielagos and Gallardos are going through the roof. 550 Maranellos as well. In 2013 you could buy one for 60k all day long. Now they are +120. We also know what happened with the air cooled Porsches. Gated F430s are basically non existent now and 360 Modenas are on the rise. Many people blame the states when the truth of the matter is ALL cars are skyrocketing for the mere fact that they don't make cars like they used to anymore and with time taking many of these cars due to crashes, collectors purchases, etc naturally the prices increase. No matter what your preferences of cars are, JDM, Euro, supercars, etc nobody is safe. I cant tell you how many collectors I hear complaining about the prices of Carrera GTs in how they used to be 300k for a good example now they are flirting with the 1 million mark.
@@marcusmcneal7453 Its not really a problem. The only issue I see is that certain people cannot buy certain cars now due to it being unrealistic however I couldn't care less about someone else's ability to buy or not. If they wanted a certain car for themselves to own,, they should have purchased their dream car when prices were in the toliet 7 years ago. I don't think anyone in their youth sat around playing these games and thinking "when I grow up I definitely won't buy that car just to keep the market sane." People are quick to say that its because of F&F when they fail to comprehend that cars for that movie were chosen due to the fact that they were already popular among car enthusiasts. The current situation is no different from the prior generation buying 308 GTS, DeLoreans, Celica XXs, late 70s Trans ams, and late 60s Chargers. Each generation has certain cars they grow up with in different ways.
@@KeenanStyles On point. Whenever it comes to collector’s cars, nostalgia is nearly always the driving force. Some of the prices we see aren’t just due to people throwing massive amounts of money at things. A lot of these cars are truly just getting rare to find, even rarer in good condition, and scarcity inflates the price. A lot of these cars spent the early 00’s being “cheap” cars and got treated as such. The people buying them now aren’t to blame for the prices, it’s really the people that owned them years ago and treated them like garbage, resulting in too few on the road to make the market stable. Like I’m trying to find a late 80s Accord 3 door hatch and it’s borderline impossible.
Good points about desirable exotics especially manuals. I paid $14k CAD for my first Integra Type R DC2R. $28k CAD for the next one last year. The only car I want is 997 GT3 but surprisingly they aren’t rising. Porsche had a lot of GT cars to choose from (991 GT3 was sold in but numbers) so there is a lot of supply. Also late 80s accord is a unicorn. Some cars were just used as daily’s and suffered high attrition rates.
It’s going up because a lot of ppl who love this car is growing up and actually making enough money to purchase the car now. Before they were still too young and or did make enough money to purchase the car.
@@fraided88 that’s just you’re opinion and you’re obviously in the minority the market has spoken and Supra’s will continue to rise in value and you’ll still be complaining about it
Just for comparison, a brand new Civic Type R is about $37.000 USD right? But the normal price in Indonesia is about $79.000. Thats how expensive buying cars in Indonesia.
First they said the Grand Turismo generation then they said F&F generation. I still think 90s Japanese cars are far cooler and superior than its American & European counterparts of the same era. They would still be desirable without GT & F&F.
The reall fun part is, that a stock e36m3 is faster than most of those jdm legends and far cheaper to maintain. Even the transmission in the 6speed version is stronger than the getrag used for the bnr34 or the supra mk4.
@@coopsnz1 but wait until they hit 25 years and see how much more those price shoot up. Yes, prices are rising, but they almost double once we can import them to America.
JDM Tuner cars were meant to be cheap, fun driver's cars that young guys could afford and modify and maintain themselves with little money. Now they are collectors cars, which people are afraid to drive! It's so sad! I wish Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Subaru would start remaking rolling shells of these old classic JDM cars and selling them for cheap so that young people could afford them and also help reduce this ridiculous appreciation!
Nostalgia and childhood dreams aside...The reason they are selling these cars with 200k miles on them for $40k is because they know people who buy them will want to mod the shit out of it AND they know those kind of people can afford it. No one buys a car with 200k miles on it unless they plan to put money into it to keep it running - but with these cars .. no they aren't going to 'just keep it running' they are going to make it a project car.
So happy i was able to buy my nearly bone stock GZ Turbo Supra 3 years ago for 12 250€ before the prices skyrocketed. Been the dream car for me since i cant even remember. Not planning on selling anytime.
European depreciate quite quickly in Australia. I would take a Supra any day over european counterparts. If something breaks on Euro cars, they are redicolously expensive to get parts.
To put in perspective just how it expensive it is to own an A80 Supra. Ive had my car almost 6 years. I bought it for $4800 USD. Currently now im into the car a little over 80k USD.
I've owned a lot of 90's jdm cars but the joy in owning them was for under 5k landed you could drive something cool and different , now with prices as they are it completely defeats the purpose.
Fortunately here in Malaysia there are shops that able to fix and install parts specifically for the A80 Supra and also other classic JDM legends. Especially for the RX7 models.
Because these fuckers complaining can't afford it. Its actually a fair pricing because Supra has alot of potential and its a car that competed with way more expensive high end european sportcars. They should look up the avg prices of euro sportcars in that era now a days and they'll be suprised. Not because its euro car its more special. Not because its a Japanese sportcars that it should be fucking dirt cheap. Supra is a special car.
@@bicyclenerd.9377 I know I see all these idiots complaining about how Supra’s are too expensive they just are mad that they can’t afford one so they just bitch about it. I think Supra’s will just continue to raise in value where else can you get a car like that when it competes with Ferrari and Lambo classes and has high reliability and almost zero maintenance
It's the same reason why in the 90's, 60's and early 70's muscle cars shot up in price and are now super car prices. 1. Rarity 2. Iconic car's from childhood's, become must haves for the adult when they can actually afford them.
Being from the caribbean all we had back in the day were old jdm cars. Supras, Skylines, Levins etc were very common when i was a kid. MY first car was a GX81 Chaser. But they've mostly all been wrecked or rusted out of hidden in peoples garages by now.. Supra RZs were like $10k when I was in college. Now it's ridiculous
can you do an in-depth video of the nismo F-sport engine focusing why it is more expensive than other rb26's and other engines like the tomei and Mine's version please
i think dont matter when, now, future or at what cost..a supra is always worth it as long as u can afford it..its well built and u can eat a supercar any day with that almost bulletproof 2jz..and fight me..90's sports car will always have special place in everyone's heart
You do realize we live in an era where supercars are being built as well. ETS tuning sells a twin turbo set up for Gallardos for about 40k. That's literally half of what I've spent on my Supra over the past 6 years.
@@KeenanStyles that is true too..to think that a gallardo would outvalue a supra nowadays 😅😅...but.. side by side, personally i would pick a supra over gallardo (not that i could afford one).had to go down that jdm route 😅 btw..i'm subbing to u..thanks for replying, ur makin nice content
Sooo jealous. Most of my cars have been, or are, late 90's early 00's Japanese legends and I'm always dreaming of the next one, including a supra! Pricing here in the UK is increasing every year it seems. Most of the new cars from the last 10 years don't interest me anymore. I'm sure I'm not the only one?!
Prices have gone up due to the United States being able to import them (25 years or older). I’ve imported my Skyline R33 to Canada, and back when I brought it over, it cost $10k. Now that it’s able to be imported to the US, it’s worth over $30k... USD.
Prices are going up because kids who watched fast and furious almost 20 years ago now has money
Its more like kids who watched fast and the furious 20 years ago can now apply for a personal loan.
It's more like the hype around them draws alot of attention so people with money want them only because of they are "famous" or "known" cars. No enthusiasts left soon.

1. Cars over time get wrecked from all sorts of reasons and we have less and less on the roads.
2. Many are poorly modified examples that will never be able to be reverted to original form or in horrible condition due to stance/widebody modifications.
Also, these 2 reasons alone help stock models increase even further.
You can even see prices staying very high on newer Japanese sports cars in places like Canada where we have winter. Example, my 2018 WRX STI (D-Type) the price of mine dropped $2,000.00 since buying new which is amazing on a 3 year old car. (Try that with a BMW haha) Reason is most models are winter driven and have very high mileage and rust over time. Also lots of poorly modified examples.
So if you store it in the winter and keep it stock, your value basically stays the same as new and than after 10+ years begins to rise.
Another example, since I'm a Subaru guy.....in 2007 a 2004 WRX STI cost on average $25,000-30,000 in Canada. In 2020.....it still costs the same on high mileage models with rust. If you have a low mileage, winter stored it's even higher now! 3 years ago a clean stock example sold for $35,000.....now I bet it would even more.
So yeah, Japanese sports cars (especially in manual) overall will either keep there value, or keep rising. I think with the the possible ban of gasoline car sales in places like Europe, Japan & Canada in 2030(if it happens) will raise prices even more since you won't even be able to buy anything like this new anymore especially in manual!
Also, for those who read all this, some other interesting information regarding Canada and JDM cars. What I have noticed from all my years of monitoring the market, RHD drives here actually have a very low value compared to LHD models. Like WRX STI LHD would be $25,000, but if it's a JDM model the value is only like $17,000. The biggest reason for this is because insurance in Canada for RHD drives is extremely expensive and many companies don't even want to insure you!!!
The only RHD cars here that are expensive is basically the R34 GTR, Everything else is cheaper by a lot compared to a LHD model.
It is minute 7 of this video and you already earned a like for that info you delivered. Thanks a lot for your work. Really appreciate it
IS THAT A SUPRA!!!! Love it man I literally laughed when your son said that
There is a garage here in Seattle, Washington that opened two years ago that imports sports cars. The popularity of car tuning in general has grown in popularity. Everyone wants to be as different as possible and feeds the desire for rare imported cars. This garage brings in 4 to 6 cars a month from each country out of Japan, Austrailia and Europe (particularly Italy). It is a brisk business and the cars can sale for a great deal more here than they can in the home country. They have recently had R32 Nismo, V·Spec, and an Australian models. All sold for over $90,000. They sale for an average price around $120,000. Beyond R32 GTR cars they sale Autozam AZ-1, RX-7, Suzuki Alto Turbo RS, Lancer Evo, Subaru WRX and other JDM cars known for drifting or fun sports cars that were never sold in the US. They also sale European brands that have a rally racing heritage but were never sold in the US like, Ford RS200, Škoda 130LR Evo, Lancia Stratos and other rare cars that sale for $60,000 and up. The most affordable I have seen from them was a Lancia Stratos with 160,000km on it for $46,000.
Hey, can you tell me where the garage in Seattle is located and do they still import jdm cars?
whenever i see a JDM masters notification i am always excited to watch it. keep it up Captain!
I love these guys, such honest enthusiast content
The right hand "JDM" Supras are going up in value now because they are finally legal to import into the US. They are still cheaper than the limited production US spec cars.
The most beautiful Supra I ever seen. Love from 🇬🇧
2:12 all of our reactions
I remember seeing 10k supras on importers websites just 2 years ago. Insane how much the market has jumped.
That genuine "is that a supra?!" From the kid... Haha
Just a minor thing - JZA80 calipers are not brembo (2 piston and 4 piston variants). I believe they are sumimoto branded, and the RZ-S had an option to install the larger brakes where the RZ had them standard
Good info I didnt know that was the difference between the RZ and RZ-S. That explains why my car had the big brakes on the front and crappy little N/A brakes on the rear.
i'm amateur kick boxer for about 16 years, i was need for fast car, i'm very thankful that i get my engine from japan, very useful, thank god everyday.
I would love to see more used car dealerships and prices of cars, like honda's for example, ek4, ek9, s2k etc, and other toyotas like levin, ae86 etc :D
I have had the same sticker with a red supra on my fridge since 1995. I remember looking at it as a kid thinking thats a nice car. I didnt know what it was back then..and now this sticker is still there.
This guy should host is very own Top Gear. I love infront of the camera charm... I can totally see him hosting Top Gear - World wide.
I remember walking past a used 1995 Supra at my local dealership back in 1997. It was selling for 24k with very low mileages. Even have the red holiday on sale tag on because nobody was interested in them. This was all before all the fast and furious mania. Now looking back the same car probably sell for 1 million dollars. How time changed
had a chance to buy a 2002 r34 gtr Vspec 2 10yrs ago for $57k aud showroom condition but thought I could get a new car for that, now that car is worth $17k and the GTR $100K+++ massive regret
What new car did you buy?
@@jasonhudson8336 sti
Yeah but that’s for a really good pristine example which are rare to find.Would you have been able to keep the r34 in good condition without modifying it for 10 years? Back then you wouldn’t know how much it’s be worth in the future. You’d probably have been able to sell it for the same price you bought it. We won’t know what the price of this R34 GTR are gonna be until 2027 when the US will officially be able to import them
This channel really grew a lot in 2020. Both in numbers and quality. Keep it up
Canada was very lucky with a 15 year law, that’s how I got my GC8 V-Ltd. Payed $7500CAD and now for valued at $33,000USD.
I am glad I was able to enjoy R32 GTR and 94 Supra TT JDM in Canada before prices went crazy. Same thing about to happen with 96 Integra Type R.
@@touringteg True same for me in Ca too.
Prices are going up because you can import these to America now and people here will pay top dollar. Also, covid-19 has created a huge buyers market for used cars. If they are desirable as is, the price will be higher.
Great video! Love the Supra with the Ganador mirrors and Volk SF Racing Challenge. And that kid's reaction was priceless! :)
Early 2000's here in FL, you used to be able to grab a NA auto for about 9k. 15k for a TT auto, 20-25k for a TT. Now a NA auto or 5 speed is like 25k. TT auto is 50k, TT manuals are like 60K~100k.
Holy crap!
I remember those days. The market has gone crazy!
Prices on supras are high for 2 reasons.
1. When they announced the new supra to be a bmw with bmw parts they knew they would never get any better than the MKIV.
2. The guys who loves supras are now between 20-35 years old and are now financially able enough to buy one.
My new favorite channel!! I’m US military stationed here in Yokosuka! Not too far away from where you film some of your videos. Would love to meet you one day and go to Daikoku or something!
The kid reminds me of me when I bought my Supra 5 years ago
As an MKIV owner, I say buy one as quickly as possible! The economics of scarcity is not in your favour if you keep waiting.
I’m gonna need money first 😭
Best part of the video is your kid bro teach him everythink he's soo ready 🙌
I just saw this I am the one brought this Supra from Doston!!! I love mu supra!! Can't believe I found this video!!! This is crazy!!!
People were so disappointed with the new Supra...the old Supra price doubled overnight...even with the improved version the new one hits 62km/h in 4.1secs vs 4.6secs from 25 years ago🥳
Its not just JDMs, exotics too. The prices of gated Murcielagos and Gallardos are going through the roof. 550 Maranellos as well. In 2013 you could buy one for 60k all day long. Now they are +120. We also know what happened with the air cooled Porsches. Gated F430s are basically non existent now and 360 Modenas are on the rise. Many people blame the states when the truth of the matter is ALL cars are skyrocketing for the mere fact that they don't make cars like they used to anymore and with time taking many of these cars due to crashes, collectors purchases, etc naturally the prices increase. No matter what your preferences of cars are, JDM, Euro, supercars, etc nobody is safe. I cant tell you how many collectors I hear complaining about the prices of Carrera GTs in how they used to be 300k for a good example now they are flirting with the 1 million mark.
Gen Y are buying all the cars we drove in Gran Turismo and NFS. I have to admit I’m part of the problem haha
@@marcusmcneal7453 BRUHH
@@marcusmcneal7453 Its not really a problem. The only issue I see is that certain people cannot buy certain cars now due to it being unrealistic however I couldn't care less about someone else's ability to buy or not. If they wanted a certain car for themselves to own,, they should have purchased their dream car when prices were in the toliet 7 years ago. I don't think anyone in their youth sat around playing these games and thinking "when I grow up I definitely won't buy that car just to keep the market sane." People are quick to say that its because of F&F when they fail to comprehend that cars for that movie were chosen due to the fact that they were already popular among car enthusiasts. The current situation is no different from the prior generation buying 308 GTS, DeLoreans, Celica XXs, late 70s Trans ams, and late 60s Chargers. Each generation has certain cars they grow up with in different ways.
@@KeenanStyles On point. Whenever it comes to collector’s cars, nostalgia is nearly always the driving force. Some of the prices we see aren’t just due to people throwing massive amounts of money at things. A lot of these cars are truly just getting rare to find, even rarer in good condition, and scarcity inflates the price. A lot of these cars spent the early 00’s being “cheap” cars and got treated as such. The people buying them now aren’t to blame for the prices, it’s really the people that owned them years ago and treated them like garbage, resulting in too few on the road to make the market stable. Like I’m trying to find a late 80s Accord 3 door hatch and it’s borderline impossible.
Good points about desirable exotics especially manuals. I paid $14k CAD for my first Integra Type R DC2R. $28k CAD for the next one last year. The only car I want is 997 GT3 but surprisingly they aren’t rising. Porsche had a lot of GT cars to choose from (991 GT3 was sold in but numbers) so there is a lot of supply. Also late 80s accord is a unicorn. Some cars were just used as daily’s and suffered high attrition rates.
The intro montage and soundtrack are on point! Great work!
It’s going up because a lot of ppl who love this car is growing up and actually making enough money to purchase the car now. Before they were still too young and or did make enough money to purchase the car.
Here in Indonesia, if you want to get R34 or A80, you need to spend at least $200K - $300K USD
nah man 80 to 150k is enough in 2020 (skyrokets fast as frick)
Above 30k is already a stupid price for a Supra. Can't even imagine 200k lol
@@fraided88 ikr
@@fraided88 that’s just you’re opinion and you’re obviously in the minority the market has spoken and Supra’s will continue to rise in value and you’ll still be complaining about it
Just for comparison, a brand new Civic Type R is about $37.000 USD right? But the normal price in Indonesia is about $79.000. Thats how expensive buying cars in Indonesia.
First they said the Grand Turismo generation then they said F&F generation. I still think 90s Japanese cars are far cooler and superior than its American & European counterparts of the same era. They would still be desirable without GT & F&F.
The reall fun part is, that a stock e36m3 is faster than most of those jdm legends and far cheaper to maintain. Even the transmission in the 6speed version is stronger than the getrag used for the bnr34 or the supra mk4.
@@amduser86 i owned a E36 M3 awesome car. 😂
Current garage 1984 TE72 Corolla, R33 GTR and my daily a Mk7 GTi. I’ve also got a E46 330 race car.
@@amduser86 if I had to do it all again I'd stick pick a A80 over a E36 M3 🤷🏾♂️
Once the car hits 25 years old it can be imported into the USA, which is driving up the prices.
Most cars under 2008 are going up in price in Japan( 2006 wrx sti 2 million yen
@@coopsnz1 but wait until they hit 25 years and see how much more those price shoot up. Yes, prices are rising, but they almost double once we can import them to America.
I love my mustang gt and all but if I saw the white supra in the lot next to it I would've grabbed it in a heartbeat 😎
Im so glad all my favourite cars from my childhood are becoming real classics x
Here in canada a used r34 gtr's are going for $245,000 wtih 70,000km or higher that need a lot of work to be 100%.
JDM Tuner cars were meant to be cheap, fun driver's cars that young guys could afford and modify and maintain themselves with little money. Now they are collectors cars, which people are afraid to drive! It's so sad! I wish Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Subaru would start remaking rolling shells of these old classic JDM cars and selling them for cheap so that young people could afford them and also help reduce this ridiculous appreciation!
Next episode could we talk about spare parts difficulties of the JDM cars !!
That is a very good suggestion 👍
The clip with lil Bera in the beginning is goals
Nostalgia and childhood dreams aside...The reason they are selling these cars with 200k miles on them for $40k is because they know people who buy them will want to mod the shit out of it AND they know those kind of people can afford it. No one buys a car with 200k miles on it unless they plan to put money into it to keep it running - but with these cars .. no they aren't going to 'just keep it running' they are going to make it a project car.
Why are these prices ? because of the demand.. because of that legendary motor. The car itself is an absolute classic but the motor is the legend.
I suggest making some videos on interesting Kei cars or even vans.
So happy i was able to buy my nearly bone stock GZ Turbo Supra 3 years ago for 12 250€ before the prices skyrocketed.
Been the dream car for me since i cant even remember.
Not planning on selling anytime.

European depreciate quite quickly in Australia. I would take a Supra any day over european counterparts. If something breaks on Euro cars, they are redicolously expensive to get parts.
In a 50k Supra the parts aren't cheap anymore because of part hoarders. More broken cars = more parts for sale.
@@fraided88 no after-market parts?
To put in perspective just how it expensive it is to own an A80 Supra. Ive had my car almost 6 years. I bought it for $4800 USD. Currently now im into the car a little over 80k USD.
@@KeenanStyles thats not an expense to maintain it lol thats modding
its a fact that todays cars will never be as cool as 90s cars
I had the pleasure to ride in one RZ automatic last year. Mk.4 Supra all the way!
It's the US availability opening up that's driving the prices we trying to buy y'all out 🤣🤣🤣💯
Such a great channel. So much in depth knowledge.
Theses car's have a legendary status and for a good reason hence the prices are going up
I've owned a lot of 90's jdm cars but the joy in owning them was for under 5k landed you could drive something cool and different , now with prices as they are it completely defeats the purpose.
okay...ill be buying it...in 3 years...

Awesome video!
Would it be at all possible to have a review of a clean jzx100 chaser on the channel in the future? Preferably not a skid car.
Fortunately here in Malaysia there are shops that able to fix and install parts specifically for the A80 Supra and also other classic JDM legends. Especially for the RX7 models.
Considering this Supra was $80k+ here in Canada (new) I don't think these prices are out of line.
Because these fuckers complaining can't afford it. Its actually a fair pricing because Supra has alot of potential and its a car that competed with way more expensive high end european sportcars. They should look up the avg prices of euro sportcars in that era now a days and they'll be suprised. Not because its euro car its more special. Not because its a Japanese sportcars that it should be fucking dirt cheap. Supra is a special car.
@@bicyclenerd.9377 I know I see all these idiots complaining about how Supra’s are too expensive they just are mad that they can’t afford one so they just bitch about it.

It's the same reason why in the 90's, 60's and early 70's muscle cars shot up in price and are now super car prices. 1. Rarity 2. Iconic car's from childhood's, become must haves for the adult when they can actually afford them.
awsome stuff, just bought one from auction in Nagoya. can’t wait

Supra and the r34.. my favorites
Can you guys do a NA1 or NA2 NSX review pls?

Supra and R34 ... awesome!
Being from the caribbean all we had back in the day were old jdm cars. Supras, Skylines, Levins etc were very common when i was a kid. MY first car was a GX81 Chaser.
But they've mostly all been wrecked or rusted out of hidden in peoples garages by now..
Supra RZs were like $10k when I was in college. Now it's ridiculous
12 year old supra fanboys be like: SUPRA COMES WITH 1000HP STOCK
Okay? Let 12 year olds be 12 year olds...
can you do an in-depth video of the nismo F-sport engine focusing why it is more expensive than other rb26's and other engines like the tomei and Mine's version please

most legit youtube recommenndation everr !!
i think dont matter when, now, future or at what cost..a supra is always worth it as long as u can afford it..its well built and u can eat a supercar any day with that almost bulletproof 2jz..and fight me..90's sports car will always have special place in everyone's heart
You do realize we live in an era where supercars are being built as well. ETS tuning sells a twin turbo set up for Gallardos for about 40k. That's literally half of what I've spent on my Supra over the past 6 years.

"The Fast And The Furious" was filmed during the summer of *2000*
and released in movie theaters in june 2001.
I agree with the rest though. 😉👍
Sooo jealous. Most of my cars have been, or are, late 90's early 00's Japanese legends and I'm always dreaming of the next one, including a supra! Pricing here in the UK is increasing every year it seems. Most of the new cars from the last 10 years don't interest me anymore. I'm sure I'm not the only one?!
Prices have gone up due to the United States being able to import them (25 years or older).
I’ve imported my Skyline R33 to Canada, and back when I brought it over, it cost $10k. Now that it’s able to be imported to the US, it’s worth over $30k... USD.
