    JDM bubble popping is outstandingly good news imo. Maybe the people that actually want to USE the cars (instead of rich people/businesses buying them all up, inflating the prices to hell, and putting them under bubble wrap as an investment) will FINALLY be able to afford them again. Let the floor fall out, I have no sympathy at all for the gougers “just following the market.”

    I feel bad for what might happen for some of these business owners, but that was the risk they took when trying to capitalize on a flash in the pan market movement. Something I think will drive down prices regardless of the bubble, is that A) there are actually a lot of these cars, and B) The push from manufacturers to fill out the affordable performance market segment again will lead to lots of modern 2nd hand sports cars hitting the market. Few people will buy a clapped out S13 rolling shell for 20k when you can get any number of more modern performance oriented cars for less.

      "more modern" performance cars is like comparing an apple you picked yourself to a green apple flavored gummy bear.
      The gummy bear technically has a trace to the apple, it's undeniably smoother and softer in the mouth, probably sweeter too, rides real nice... down your throat.
      But if you're looking for an apple, well I'm sorry but growing apples was outlawed some 15 years ago, you had better make do with these vacuum dried ones that will go for 100 bucks per kilo.
      I'm not sorry to keep breaking this down to people, those who make decisions in society are planning for you to not drive ANYTHING at the earliest available convenience, the supply of a truly raw driving experience is a flat fucking 0 and will be that unless - already numerous - years of """progress""" is reversed. In fact it's not 0, it's negative, we LOSE these cars every fucking day, they get stuffed or are forgotten and rot in parking. And then we have this army of goobers who cross their fingers that eventually the prices will drop surely they must, absolutely not, these cars are now reserved for the few individuals who could walk into a Mercedes dealer and buy a base C-class out of pocket but choose an objectively more visceral experience. For the remaining 8 years they will be allowed to drive them.

    I mean it's fairly obvious that this was going to open. When the first '89 GT-R's started being legal in the U.S, the flood gates opened. The U.S could *FINALLY* have Skyline's and various JDM's. But it's been a couple years now, the vast majority of the people who were willing to buy a Skyline or any other cool JDM cars, went and bought them. The market isn't crashing it's stabilizing. The prices WILL go down and stabilize, but simply higher than 5 years ago, pre-US legalization.
    I can safely say that the same thing is going to happen with the R34's GT-T/GT prices once they're legal. A quick increase in prices then a slow drop until it stabilizes again.

I'm positive the bottom will fall out of this false economy hard very soon, for the non 'collector' cars at least. They made so many of them.

      Perhaps not normal - from say: 3 to 5 years ago, but essentially the equivalent with current inflation pricing and demand.
      He's not far off saying they'll drop dramatically though.
      The previous high market import countries (US, europe, UK, Australia, NZ, etc) are facing a huge upswing in cost of living expenses, rising interest rates and inflationary costs - most people, who desired these cars would of used low interest rate personal loans - which are now being scaled back.
      We may see a gradual increase in price for some of these cars, but there will be a decent correction over the year.
      They're just not purposeful or practical cars - so their value is much more impacted by market sentiments/ demand
      For example, these cars are not like a 79 dual cab Toyota landcruiser, that can haul a full family, carvan/boat and still be used as a daily workhorse.

    19:17 mate, same. though, i kind of like the look of the ST205 (the one you got right there) more then then old ST185.
    also, i wanna get my hands on a ST215 at some point, build a sleeper wagon.

    I think that interest rates are hurting the US market demand, since a lot of people are doing private loans or vintage car loans, they are hit with much higher base rates when compared to the 2017-2021 "mini golden era" - coupled with higher commodity costs and that large scare with the improperly imported/titled vehicles out of Florida, we are certainly toward the tail end of the JDM car hype in the US.

    I don’t see the prices dropping anytime soon. Shipping cars is still very difficult and the demand is high, even considering the prices are high. I hope that you are right but I don’t think the prices will drop. Btw I bought a Evo 8 rs and a r32 gtr 2 months ago, they were just shipped a couple of days ago. I still consider JDM cars to be bargains if you think about the experience you get for the price you pay!

    I got quite lucky with the risk I took buying my 180sx sight unseen. Only bc I’m a mechanic & knew what the auction sheets described was fixable for me but that rusty gtr surprised me. Rust is bad bc once you start repairing it you’ll find it spreads everywhere. It’s true the auction sheets and pictures don’t describe enough. Mine went to 2 auction houses and the descriptions were pretty different

    Lots of these price bubbles are due to investors interests and now that cost of borrowing money is higher than ever and interest rates are also going up each month, market sell off is imminent cause investors always borrow money.If you’re into stock and crypto it’s pretty easy to understand this but some panic buyers always buy and they lose money. That was expected for gtrs and supras these cars aren’t really low in production numbers r32 gtr for example, 44000 of them produced doesn’t really make sense paying 50-80k for them.

    Same thing is happening in the middle-ground classic euro car market. Friends/customers who were investor "enthusiasts" are very very nervous. It's unsettling to see some become desperate in their selling points. The cars will sell, just at 30%-%40 below what they are wanting.
    BAT created a false sense of value on some great middle-ground classics.

    Mmmh , I am not so sure about prices dropping honestly, of course we will se a bit of stagnation as in every business when there is a super high rise of prices, ( stock option for exemple).
    Crazy high prices are going to go down a bit, but finding price as cheap as before, I don't see that comin at all.
    Most of countries right now are pushing electric cars sales and even forbid petrol car to be sold in a few years so old car that have a real driving pleasure will keep to maintain their value and even grow it in the next 10 years.
    Never take conclusion on a 1-2 year grow or loss, it is well to little.

      Bro I actually just said that to myself and 2 seconds later I read your comment. Actually people who studies economics know that it works exactly like that. There is a base line which with demand the prices are going to fluctuate higher and lower. I think that the last peak was an exception because the peak was a lot higher than normal because of COVID and a big hype but there statistically will always be that up and down thing
