Basic question is... is there an Autotrader style website for JDM cars, but in English ?
Back in 2002 I imported a Forester T/tb via Newera. Then I knew just what I wanted so could be exact.
I am thinking that I might try the JDM route again in 2022 but this time I do not have a specific model in mind. I have the criteria/specifics that I want but in order to explore the JDM I need a website that will allow me the search options, like Autotrader does.
Any suggestions as to where to look ?
Thanks
Brian.

Saw this over on the MLR but I'll answer here as more traffic. Hello :)

As you probably know a high proportion of cars in Japan are bought and sold through the auctions. When I was dealing with an importer they gave me a link which I can still use today which allows me to view what is going through daily. There are also search engines to look through dealer stock for particular cars.

One thing I would say though, I suspect with the increased shipping costs and increase in prices of the more sort after JDM cars, then it may turn out to cost more to import rather than to buy a car already here.
 
Thanks both.
I imported way back in 2002 but knew just what I wanted so that was much simpler.
Now I thought I might look again at JDM for something just a little different to UK/EU market but don't have a specific model in mind, just a set of criteria so the Autotrader options search is really useful, hence the question.
I also realise the 2022 shipping cost may well make it a no go exercise.
Cheers
Brian.
