Default Investment

With prices going up and up just wondering if a JDM Type R 2 door would be a good investment?


Thinking of trying to find a good one in japan

Type r' s seem to be on the up as do most Subaru's and other marquee's. JDM' s should be rust free before hitting our lovely roads so a good start if that's your route. Just checked PH and P1's seemed to have just gone bonkers on pricing. I know it's low mileage but wasn't that long ago this was 22b money and now look what they're going for 100k +

Some people are wanting stupid prices and some want a good price that have been in the UK for a while if you are wanting to buy one either get a fresh import or get one that's been well looked after saying that there's a lovely rare black type r for sale on Facebook for 10k ono .

They're fishing for a collector at that price as its only done under 5000 miles and they know you won't find another one....

The reason I sold the white blob and kept the Spec C was that it was more likely to go up in value
