Pilot Episode - Buying JDM (Japanese) Cars Online : Supra's, Skylines,RX7's and Silvia's

in #automotive8 years ago (edited)

I'm trying out a new concept, something I haven't seen before. All car lovers browse car trading websites. I've decided to browse some JDM (Japanese) vehicles and narrate my experiences.

If you guys enjoy this please let me know and I can do one of these every week, month or none at all. Whatever you guys like?

Also thanks a ton for all of the support as of late. It means a lot to me!

Don't forget to hit the like button on youtube. Thanks very much!

Good concept. Just make sure you make something out of it rather than just passing on free information.

Importing a JDM car is a great idea if you're looking for a classic sports car that is hard to or impossible to come by in America. It can actually turn out to be an investment (https://steemit.com/cars/@stealthstrike/my-car-is-an-appreciating-asset).

BUT! Before you import one to your city make sure to research the legality of these types of RHD vehicles in your state. The last thing you need is have spent a tiny a fortune on your dream car only to find out that it's illegal for street use or just flat out illegal in your state. Make sure to check the following issues:
-legality of RHD (right hand drive) vehicles in your area
-emissions regulations
-possibility of registering the vehicle for street use (some areas will only allow track/show usage)
-possibility of insuring the vehicle (a lot of insurance companies are reluctant to insurance RHD vehicles)

Happy shopping!
