Go through a classic car insurer. I insure my cars through Hagerty and have an “agreed” value with them if anything bad happens. You 100% don’t want to insure it like your average daily driver.
I'm from California and obviously registering Japanese import cars that are 25 year old here in the golden state is very costly. Imagine, I imported a 96 Nissan Gloria GranTurismo in 2022 and it would cost me $10,000 so I chose Vermont with only 4% of total value of my Gloria and everything is online, I didn't require to tow my car to Vermont to be physically inspected because VT, MT, Dakotas are " no loop hole states"
Very informative! Thank you for sharing. I'm still a little apprehensive about a manual right hand drive, but I will own an RX-7 again some day. Love your black FD!
I respect that. I'm Japanese so RHD is what I'm use to, but even in the U.S. I would not consider a LHD Japanese Classic car just as I wouldn't consider a RHD American Classic car, but that's only my preference.
Think you this helps me out a lot ! To get into a port most require a TWIC Card if you're really going to import a car it would be best to apply for the TWIC Card that will be a photo of you background check and fingerprints.
Your supposed to turn out if you are falling out of a handstand. If you are going to go head over heels, you need to practice a back bridge. Then you can fall over , it's called a front walk over.
FD's are getting out of control as far as value goes, but you will likely save a lot of money and getting the full japanese experience doing it yourself.
@@ioriOki yeah i know its heartbreaking how expensive they've gotten but its my favorite Japanese car ever and my favorite car that is realistically affordable but I will have one that's my one promise to myself. But yeah importing myself will definitely save me a lot of money glad someone like you made a video like this to help educate!
Hi Iori! 👋🏻🤚🏻👋🏻 I grew in Okinawa…well, there was a base called Camp Makiminato until 2nd grade then came to California…I remember my Masa Ojisan have a beautiful Toyota Celica Supra (I think)…it was two-tone black with gold….I was 5 years old I loved that car…wish I could go back and find that car!!!
I watched this video with one hand and I found it to be quite enjoyable and quite life-changing especially with the plot development across the timeline of this video with a duration of 16 minutes and 31 seconds. I consider this a video to make me wonder about the illusions of time and how it is fleeting and vanishes as to a cloud of smoke.
As for insurance, I am using American Collectors Insurance. They work alongside USAA (you don’t need to have USAA) and so they’re really good with imports. Super simple to get as well. I currently have a $19,000 value on the car with 10,000 miles yearly driving limit. All for $1100/yr ($92/mo. approximately). ALL OF THIS CAN BE ADJUSTED to your liking. The value, the mileage per year, plus any add-ons like towing, repairs, windshield replacement, etc. once you select coverage simply submit thorough photos of your import and that’s it. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HAGERTY… they’re overpriced imo.
I’ve used Grundy and a few others, as I shop for the best rates every year, and I’ll say Grundy does not have mileage limitations and is a good deal cheaper than American Collectors. I’ve had USAA in the past on other cars and they’re awful, so I wouldn’t go with anyone associated with them, but Hagerty, while seemingly overpriced, allows for track days, has no mileage limitations, and even offers to pay you out if you total it AND keep the car. Quite honestly, nobody else is really doing that right now
@@ioriOki darn, seems like you just have bad luck 🤣. USAA has been awesome to me and all of my cars. Differences in experience I suppose. I’m happy it all worked out for you overall. I’ll try Grundy out for my second import purchase coming this summer.
Great video! Thanks for the information! Could you share some known exporters from the mainland? First time importing a car and trying to do my research as well!
I don't personally know mainland importers and I don't want to vouch for someone because they have good google reviews, but who ever you go with, just comment here your experience so other people know.
I am still having some trouble figuring out the whole exporter hiring situation. So you need to hire someone to go to the port and do all the customs things done? I have been looking to import a Honda Acty Truck except it is still very confusing even after reading through the forms. I am also confused about the brokers, it is a lot but im just still confused :/
You will need someone with a TWIC card to go through the gates to grab the car. For the brokerage part, yes you will need to hire a company to do all that work.
im back again to this video as refence as for some reason my customs broker started ghosting me 1 week before my car lands at the port. trying to figure out all the paper work needed to get my car out :(
@@jotk9440 my customs broker was mid almost missed my pick up date because they didn’t have anything ready then a day before pick up they said I couldn’t get the paperwork since they haven’t received my payment form which I sent to them. But everything else was smooth. It’s just finding a customs broker
I wish I had seen this video sooner. I am half Okinawan and also live in Phoenix. My wife, kids and I visited the island along with Mainland Japan last year in March 2023 and will be doing a similar trip in November this year. I love cars and have been scouting about for a daily driver replacement for my 06 XB daily driver, and if I had seen this video sooner I could have booked a different stay in Tokyo to include time to look at and ship a car back. Haisai!
Hi, thanks for your video, do you know if Isuzu still makes and sells the Isuzu P’up truck with diesel motor? 1985 or newer? Are they hard to find newer ? Thanks for your video and information.
So I was stationed in Oki (Saw You Oki plates lol) and I brought my GC-8 from Japan. Now I'm trying to figure out the process to get my car drivable in Cali. For now, my car just arrived in LA this week so I'm hyped to pick my baby up but not hyped for the process to get her street legal lol
Side note to my first comment: I used the Apple translator to translate the inspection sheets from the websites. Works really well honestly. These inspection sheets are a really good reference point to the vehicles overall conditions but ARE NOT THE “BE ALL”. So keep that in mind.
@@ioriOki it’s all about the experience imo. You said it yourself, your first experience was horrendous. I am fortunate as I lived in Japan as well and so I had some help in the past.

@@ioriOki you’d be surprised at how valuable it may be to someone. Answered many questions that I have and opened my eyes to possible obstacles/challenges that may come my way in the near future when I start my dream business.

Look at it this way, one more video that will bring traffic to your channel won’t hurt right? 😅 best of luck. Glad to see you adapting very rapidly to the lifestyle here in America, I imagine it’s night and day compared to where you’re from.
Iori, I’ve had the thought of importing cars from Japan and turn it into a business for a while now. If you have any advice for me please write me back. Thanks for making this video, and I think if you made the video of the best sites would also be a good idea. Again thanks and good luck with your channel.
Thank you Dezmond! Unfortunately, I'm not really into the business aspect as that is a big reason the market has become so overvalued. I make videos like this so that regular people can go get their dream car and cut out the middle man and save thousands. But for translation and whatnot, I'm more than willing to help! As for best sites, I was waiting until this video gets about 10k views to gauge interest before creating that video.
my question is this 2:53 pls i never know where to look for sourcing cars and they all seem terrible when i do even looking for the infamous porsches there
@@ioriOki hah they're definitely great fun. The one in your video was an older 308 cubic inch V8. Later on they had LS motors and things got a little more serious. It's nice having something to ourselves that the rest of the world covets for a change!!
Hey just seen your video rn would it be possible to email you and ask some other questions like what brokers you used and what dealer you went to. I’m trying to import an fd in the next month and a half and I wanna find a few people with different options in where to get a car from and who to go to to figure everything out
You subtracted a USD price vs JPY. Also Top Rank, even though they are ripoffs, registered that car in CA which could cost 10K USD so please add that to the cost. Still cheaper.
Who do you recommend to use for export out of Okinawa? I think you said the name, but I didn't catch it. Also, do you know a good broker to use in Florida? Thanks for the video!
Been looking on Car from Japan to import. They show a “Car Price” and a “Total Cost” would there be more fees to pick it up from the port that isn’t covered by the “Total Cost”
I am just gonna get a good broker/exporter that can go in person or send someone in person to make sure the cars i am interested in dont have rust or have any major issues. I dont see the point of flying to japan if i can just spend that money on broker fees + i would be unable to export it soon after purchase. Just to clean it up and make sure it looks presentable for port authority in the US. Edit: getting importer broker when it arrives. That and i dont see the point of traveling to japan if you are gonna get a importer/broker in japan.
Hi, just came across your video, quick question, I'm in the Air Force and we are going to Japan near Tokyo for training for about 3 weeks in summer, my question is: Do you know if it is easier through the military? Any idea? I just haven't had a chance to ask my chain of command, anyway, thank you in advance.

That is 100% correct. Hagerty is one of many different companies willing to do that.

I dont see the point of flying to japan if i can just spend that money on broker fees + i would be unable to export it soon after purchase. Just to clean it up and make sure it looks presentable for port authority in the US.
Edit: getting importer broker when it arrives. That and i dont see the point of traveling to japan if you are gonna get a importer/broker in japan.
Traveling is for the experience and to see it first hand. Even with a broker, you're still depending on someone else to make a decision for you.
Did you have to make sure your speedometers are in mph to get through US customs?
No, but I always run WAZE on my phone when I'm driving to make sure I'm going the right speed.
Hi, just came across your video, quick question, I'm in the Air Force and we are going to Japan near Tokyo for training for about 3 weeks in summer, my question is:
Do you know if it is easier through the military? Any idea?
I just haven't had a chance to ask my chain of command, anyway, thank you in advance.
It's much easier but if you do not rate your DMO move, then you may have to do it the long way.
@iori Oki ok, I'll get working on the DMO move before our summer deployment and see what happens. Thank you👍
Please use subtitles for your next videos, I can’t fully understand your English.
There is a CC option in the TH-cam tool bar. Let me know if it doesn't help.
Then why people who imported the cars skyrocket the price?
Because people don't understand the process, and people are willing to pay their insane asking price.
