2025 is a great Yen time to buy a JDM!
When looking at most major currencies, including the USD and CAD, they have gained so much on the JPY since about 2022 but it's even better than it was back then. I think it's a great time to buy a JDM and maybe one of the best opportunities in a long time.
I am wondering to all of our members, what cars are you interested in right now?
For myself I've been considering an LS460 and have been debating on LS460 vs LS600. The LS600 really doesn't cost much more but the real issues come down to maintenance issues such as the very expensive to replace hybrid battery, whose cells I believe are exclusive to the LS600, plus there is the additional weight. But I do love the idea of the extra HP, AWD and possible fuel savings.
Another thing the older me has pondered after spending so much in Asia is getting an Alphard or Vellfire in VIP mode of course because they are so comfortable and useful.

That's an interesting point of view you share there, and I completely agree that currency fluctuations, especially with the USD and CAD, can make buying a used Japanese car (JDM) much more interesting at this particular time.

Definitely, are you planning on getting a new JDM? When I started this site years ago, the Yen was not at all attractive, so the low yen is a win-win for companies in Japan and for those looking to purchase from Japan.
