Top 10 chassis by buyer intent over the last 30 days. The score is the chassis's share of attention relative to the leader (top of the list = 100). The trend chip compares the underlying inquiry volume against the prior 30-day window: ↑ rising, ↓ falling, flat for changes inside ±5%. Click a row for current listings.

What's becoming US-importable

Under 49 CFR 571.7 (NHTSA FMVSS exemption) and 49 CFR Part 591 (NHTSA importation regulations), vehicles 25+ years old may be imported into the US without meeting current FMVSS or EPA standards. Chips group active JDMBUYSELL listings by the seller-reported production year; actual eligibility depends on the build date on the door-jamb compliance plate.

For the chassis-by-chassis reference — production ranges and current status for every notable chassis — see the US import eligibility calendar.

Methodology and caveats

Every number on this page is a direct aggregate over the JDMBUYSELL marketplace — all active listings from dealers and private sellers, plus historical conversation activity where noted. Figures are refreshed daily; this page is not a snapshot of any single inbound feed.

The pulse chart's new-listings (supply) series is temporarily withheld from this view. The underlying listings.created_at and feed_listed_at values are inconsistent for legacy records carried over from the prior platform, so the series would misrepresent true marketplace supply across the 12-month window. The buyer-demand series is unaffected and continues to render.
The pulse chart's demand series counts distinct buyer-seller conversations carrying a listing_id reference. One buyer may open multiple conversations on different listings of the same chassis, so the count is a measure of inquiry volume, not unique buyers. Migrated WordPress threads that lost their listing link are excluded.
The chart's y-axis is indexed: 100 = the highest single-month inquiry volume in the 12-month window. Absolute counts are intentionally not exposed to avoid revealing the marketplace's exact buyer-inquiry volume.
The "What JDM buyers are watching" leaderboard ranks chassis by buyer-intent score: the leader is set to 100 and others scale linearly relative to it. Like the chart's y-axis, this obscures the absolute inquiry volume per chassis. The trend chip still compares the underlying recent vs prior 30-day inquiry counts.
The current month in the chart is partial — it reflects month-to-date activity up to May 28, 2026.
Top-10 chassis ranks active listings by count after grouping by make and model. Listings missing either a make or model are excluded.
Median and average prices reflect asking prices, not transacted sale prices. Actual transaction prices may differ materially. Prices stored in USD and displayed in your preferred currency using FX rates refreshed daily at 05:00 UTC (source: ExchangeRate-API); structured data reports USD aggregates only for citation stability.
25-year-rule eligibility is based on the seller's stated production year; actual import eligibility for any individual vehicle depends on the build date stamped on the door-jamb compliance plate (49 CFR 571.7). Consult a licensed US customs broker before transacting.
The "biggest mover" callout picks the chassis with the highest 30d-vs-prior-30d trend from the inquiry leaderboard, filtered to recent_count >= 3 so a 1→2 row doesn't outrank a 20→70 row.
A "cars sold" series is intentionally absent from this version. The underlying listings.sold_at column carries a recent backfill artifact (historical listings being status-flipped in batches) that would over-report transaction flow if surfaced here. The signal will return once the artifact is distinguishable from organic sales.
Per-chassis price-change history (e.g. 30-day price change) is accumulating in a price-observation log; the surface that consumes it will appear once enough history has accumulated.
Export-side Japan auction-hammer pricing is not integrated in this version. Public Japan auction-house data was evaluated and judged non-viable for free ingest.
This page makes no claims about other platforms. Inventory figures for marketplaces not operated by JDMBUYSELL are not independently verified here.
