    I agree with the RX-7. I was a valet in Atlantic City when that came out. I’d circle around it, taking in the design. It was like the body was shrink wrapped around the brilliant chassis. Stunning of its time as well as today. Timeless.

    Great video! We are actually the owners of the R33 Skyline GT-R that sold for $50,000 14:55 . It is the second car we have bought through Cars and Bids and we have had such a great experience with the car and the platform. We are grateful to be apart of the era of JDM coming to the US. In our experience, it doesn’t matter what generation or trim we have, the Skyline will always make enthusiasts smile here.

    The viper market has fallen pretty hard in the past couple of years. There was a big blip in 2021-22 due to covid but prices have fallen almost to pre-covid levels on them. The amount of RNMs on bringatrailer in the past year on vipers is very high as sellers are still hoping to fetch covid blip prices. Today you can find average condition gen 1s for 30-35k, and gen 2 RT10s for 35-45k(these are very underrated IMO, I love my 2001 RT10). You can even find some gen 2 GTSs(that aren't blue/white) at the 50k mark again.

    I can't believe people are still sleeping on C4 ZR-1s and praise the first gen Viper that much. The ZR-1 outperforms the Viper in almost every situation and is a car you can actually own and drive and take on trips. I get that it's not as "exotic" looking as the Viper but it's got as much power and in today's money it's half the price.

    In the Skyline world the R33 isn't that special, there's a reason why they stay at that price. R32s Dominated Racing and created a lore for itself in trading paint. R34s became a pop culture icon through Hollywood and even had a winning with the Pennzoil Car from JGTC. The R33 never stood for anything significant sadly, It wasn't as raw as a R32 or technically advanced as the R34.

    How much of this is down to rarity ? The three Japanese cars are all significantly cheaper here in the U.K. possibly due to their noughties Boy Racer image. Twice recently I have seen a guy filling up his black R34 GTR complete with personalised plates. In contrast the Esprit is as expensive as in the USA and I don't recall the last time I saw one (even the more common 4 cylinder).

    • @bwofficial1776

      A lot is because of rarity. In the US, cars not originally sold here must be 25 years old to be imported. By the time we can finally get an R34, you Europeans and the Canadians have already had your picks. R34s are just starting to become eligible for unrestricted importation.

      @@bwofficial1776 I have seen quite a few JDM cars with U.K. plates appear on Cars and Bids. Regarding imports, at one point they reckoned there were more Mitsubishi FTOs in the U.K. than in Japan despite them never being sold new here. Back then I believe the import process was as simple as paying some import tax, fitting an MPH Speedometer and a rear fog-light, then putting the car through a safety inspection. Unfortunately our winter salted roads aren't very kind to JDM cars so look out for rust.

    if you’re over 5’8” and big feet. You’re not going to buy Lotus Espirt that you need to shoehorn yourself in. It’s very tight and uncomfortable to see out for taller person. Even worse if they’re claustrophobic.
