Guy I have something on resale of JDM, and that is my analysis only and it is neutral. My thought is JDM will have less resale than local because of following reasons
1) JDM parts as every body knows are expensive even they are not readily available so when a JDM gets old like 3,5,7,10 years continuously its market is dropped because most parts reached their limit of useful life and need replacement one after another.
2) There is no local manufacturing of parts so there is no guarantee of availability, like if model is discontinued in japan after some year its parts become less available and become even more costly.
3) JDM resale is highly depended on government decisions like if Government open just now 5 years imported car then suddenly price of JDM will drop, you can do just nothing.
4) It is also dependent on Yen value, Right now JDM resale is the lowest, because one who bought cars in 2010-2014 are now selling it on loss mostly because yen was higher at that time and now yen is 6 years low, so it is continuous ups and downs with JDM resale market.
Whats your opinion on this ?
