United Kingdom JDM prices vs other markets
The difference between observed asking-price medians in United Kingdom and in other seller markets, chassis by chassis, including Japan (a seller location, not an import destination). A positive gap means United Kingdom's median asking price is higher; negative means it is lower. Rows marked "no chassis code" compare only the listings without a chassis code, not every generation of the model. Minimum 10 priced listings per side.

Download dataset (JSON)Methodology and caveats
- Data source: JDMBUYSELL marketplace listings, filtered to listings from sellers in the United Kingdom. The listing count above is the same one the United Kingdom card and the for-sale pages print.
- Sample window: listings on the one marketplace listing rule, the same one the homepage and the for-sale pages use (active, not hidden, and either supplied by an inventory partner or posted by a visible seller), as of today.
- Pricing reflects asking prices, not transacted sale prices; median for each make, model and generation, over listings that show a price.
- Price gaps: the difference between observed asking-price medians, calculated as (United Kingdom median minus compared median) divided by compared median, times 100, rounded to one decimal; minimum 10 priced listings per side. Rows are compared at chassis-code level; a row marked "no chassis code" covers only listings without one. It is not a saving, an import margin or a market premium.
