What happened to the prices of Japanese import cars in Europe? Two years ago there were plenty of r32, r33, 200SX (not even import), etc. for around 2000 - 3000 Euro. Now the price is rarely under 10.000 Euro. What happened that the costs increased that much? Fuck that shit I wanted to buy a cool JDM car after my studies. Seems like even in Japan the prices went up in just a coupel of years.

Demand is high. Supply is getting only lower... so try to fetch a well maintained, not too much fucked with car. Impossible.

Nowadays when you are trying to buy used sporty RWD/AWD car in Europe, you are left with either BMW or Subaru as those are available in vast numbers of models from various generations. We know how expensive it is to own used beamer and not everyone likes subies so there is that.

Also, RHD cars can be bought from England but running them on mainland is problematic, conversions to LHD always fuck up something... it is meh.

But here, go buy some FWD shitbox with 3 cylinder and small turbo that puts out 100 hp and eats petrol like a 3 liter V6. Good job automakers!

Only so many to go around, once they're gone that's it.
Plus the amerispergers discovered their government would sometimes allow them to import some made before 1993-4(?) so there's a bit more demand for some models.

That's pretty sad. Let's just hope there will be more cars like the GT86 in future. I was born 20 years too late.

I genuinely like that they're making 4banger, rwd coupes again, they end product isn't remarkable but the fact they actually made it is.
Should still be a fair few S14 and S15's around for sale, most of the 180sx's and S13 coupes are getting super scarce to the point I regret selling mine. Aside from that the RX7's are still available, but pricey, R33's and 34's are getting very expensive but still obtainable, most of the 32's are either dead, modded by well meaning but cretinous owners and anything from pre89 is really uncommon/unavailable

There's other stuff which is obscure enough to slip under the average casual faggots radar-
>Toyota Caldina GT4, MkII Grande and Crown Majesta
>Lancer Evo's from 7-10, Galant VR4
>Daihatsu Copen
>Nissan Cema and Stagea

Plenty of those still out there and they're kind of fun on the cheap-ish end of the scale

Don't forget Mitsubishi FTO

You could always get some old Quattro for cheaper than even a BMW.

You could always get this, or a MB.

Can`t really call them sporty though.
