General Discussion / Re: Would You Rather Buy a JDM Car Already Imported or Import One Yourself?
« Last post by Betsycrant on September 22, 2026, 06:14:08 PM »I went the already-imported route for my first JDM car and honestly, the extra cost was worth skipping the customs and inspection headaches. That said, if you have a specific rare model in mind, direct import from Japan gives you way more options. I’ve been browsing jdmbuysell.com to compare both paths side by side, and it’s been handy since they show local dealer stock and overseas listings in one place. For me, it depends on your patience level — if you’re okay waiting months for a ship, importing is a fun project. Otherwise, paying a small premium for something landed saves a lot of stress.
