I can't wait for the price of these fucking cars to plummet

R32s a shit anyway.

dont get your hopes up, I've seen them rise from 22k to 28-30k average since they were first legalized after the 25 year rule.

Unless you live in a flyover state, this is your next best option, no bullshit middleman.

>>17243977
Once R33s and especially once the R34 become legal, the R32 should about halve in price

>>17243978
I hope you can speak Japanese, and have a fixer in Japan and who knows the US customs side of things otherwise you are going to get fucked hard

>>17243975
Agreed

>>17243977
I know, it makes ok power but why would anybody pay that much. It's not a "drivers" car it's a sedan with a turbo (s) slapped on it. Thanks f&f

>>17243967

None of the old cars will ever see a price drop. If fucking MIATAS are starting to get overpriced, there is literally NO (ZERO) hope for any of these shitboxes either.

The real question is, who the fuck is actually buying these at these retarded prices? Anyone with a brain is going for the barely-used American pony cars which offer much more car for much less money.

>>17243967
You're gonna be waiting a while lmao

>market is saturated
>prove me wrong
K

~40,000 BNR32s were made from 1989 to 1994
Thousands wrecked, thousands crushed, thousands parted out, thousands beat to shit, thousands still in Japan.

Millions of fanboys. You do the math.

>>17243991
Not gonna lie, I've looked at miatas and found a decent one for 800 and then the dude wanted to start a bidding war with me saying someone else offered 900! I said dude fuck you and hung up. I tried to give they guy his asking price but was obviously just out to fuck someone.

let's be honest here, you're not buying one

>>17244038
What R34s? Those are legal R32s.

>>17244023
Exactly. For 30k they bought something that's going to depreciate faster than a new car

>>17244026
>R34 rims
You idiot

FWIW there are R34s in the US. Most of them came in through florida, were registered and titled illegally and are basically a honeypot for ICE to come and seize your property

There is one legal R34 GTR in the Us and it costs about $150,000. It's a V-Spec and it's legal only through the show and display law so it can get driven 2500 miles a year

>>17244002
>Millions of fanboys
No way

Don't get me wrong guys, cool cars yes...but just because they're rhd,turbo and 30 years old doesn't make them worth 26k and up. The people importing these things are making a killing I'm sure. And will be until the r34s plummet too (ha) and you know they'll be making boat loads (no pun intended) when the r34s show up in masses

>>17244061
People who barely know what these cars are are buying them. Barrett Jackson has had a few go through for more than the two in the OP.

>>17244045

It's not even that it's going to "depreciate," these things were never worth the $20k+ asking prices in the first place. It's like the RHD """JDM""" MX-5's trickling in - being RHD and straight from Japan with Eunos badges on it does not magically make a fucking 1990 Miata worth $12k.

The real REAL problem here is that the two target demographics for these things are incredibly different - People who can't/will never be able to afford them anyway, and people to whom money is no object who won't even notice $20k missing in their bank account.

A 25 year old minimum wage worker with no education living in his mom's basement can "buy" one of these, sure, but you can hardly call that "affording" one.

Just like half the people who live in "upper middle class" suburban neighborhoods who can buy a $300k house all day long, but can't "afford" to live in it. In my own neighborhood there are people whose houses/roofs are fucked up from hail storms and whose fences have been knocked down for 6 months or more. They live in a house that costs 300k but they can't afford the goddamn insurance deductible to fix their shit.

Like >>17244002 said. There are 40k R32 MADE, about 12k R34 made, and millions of fanboys and retards with rich parents.

Hope for the best, be ready for the worst. The worst is the most likely

>>17244136
many thanks

>>17244139
You're wrong lol

The 33 is going to be more expensive than the 32 is now (32 not dropping), and the 34 is only going to be for people that can afford them. My guess is 70-110k when they come over.

>>17244141

Meanwhile, Ill be happy as fuck importing one for 18-20k 6 months to a year after the 25 year rule hits, since no one will instantly buy these compared to the r32

I dont like the styling at all but even i did my fucking research and found out that from R32 to R34 every generation kept improving.

>Garbage company. Avoid at all costs.

Don't even bother.

>>17243983
Importers don't see it happening. Japanese demand is rising for the R32 and the local dealers/enthusiasts are all colluding to try and keep as few from leaving the country as possible.

Dealers that buy will literally refuse to sell for export.

>>17244278
Look up the actual auction values, R32 GT-Rs that are US legal are already around the same price as the R33 GT-Rs. US demand will cause a bump guaranteed.

Therefore the R33 will be more money than the R32.

If you don't believe me use jspec.au's auction statistics to see for yourself.

I'm personally going to try and get an R33 GT-R now to get in before the inevitable 25 year price clusterfuck and while it's in Japan I'm going to pay for a proper restoration at Omori Factory.

>>17245313
Most importers make something like 1k if you take on the risk by buying the car while it's in Japan. You only see 5-8k margin if they take on all the risk and bring the car in themselves and you just show up to buy it or walk away.

Come on now. The Nordschleife is actually a very good test of a road car. Performance there can be extrapolated fairly well.

The data showed that despite a worse power to weight ratio of the R33 vs R32, the R33 managed to apply more throttle more of the time due to better cornering ability and stability.

>>17247624
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_import_vehicle
>The grey market was successful enough that it ate significantly into the business of Mercedes-Benz of North America and their dealers. The corporation launched a successful million-dollar congressional lobbying effort to stop private importation of vehicles not officially intended for the U.S. market.[23] An organisation called AICA (Automotive Importers Compliance Association) was formed by importers in California, Florida, New York, Texas, and elsewhere to counter some of these actions by Mercedes lobbyists, but the Motor Vehicle Safety Compliance Act was passed in 1988, effectively ending private import of grey-market vehicles to the United States.[17] No evidence was presented that grey-import vehicles' safety performance differed significantly from that of US models, and there have been allegations of improper lobbying, but the issue has never been raised in court.

It was never “banned” in the traditional sense of the word, it just has not become legal yet! This car becomes legal when it hits the 25 year mark
