More Info About JDM Cars

JDM Cars Are Legendary

A vehicle to suit nearly any taste and budget!

A lot of people ask what does JDM mean or stand for? JDM stands for "Japanese Domestic Market" which are vehicles produced in Japan for their domestic market exclusively. What makes these cars special is that many are "super" models that were never made available outside of Japan or if the model was available outside of Japan, usually the JDM model has more power and other better features not available overseas. Consequently "grey market" vehicle markets to import these vehicles around the world has been a thing of nearly cult status for decades with each market in the world having specific needs, desires and tastes. The JDM car scene is thriving around the world and with each area having its own style and taste in vehicles. However with that said there are certain models of vehicles, especially high peformance cars that are universally popular thanks to moves like "The Fast and Furious".

History of JDMVIP.com

How It All Started

JDMVIP.com was founded in 2007 and quickly became the authority on everything JDM because no information was available on how to purchase and import JDM cars. All that could be found before this site was tidbits on various forums and blogs, much of what turned out to be untrue or even incorrectly placed by companies in Japan or friends of companies in Japan. Thus making the "Unbiased" portion of this site extremely important we are the only third party with information on the scene and companies in Japan. The only other sources still out there are made by Exporting Car companies in Japan who's quality, integrity and accuracy of information greatly varies. If you have a question or want to verify something ask our community, you will either gain more trust with your current company or perhaps you could help others by warning our members of a serious problem with a company you've encountered (often many issues in Japan go unreported or are hidden through a network of social media spam and friends of the company). JDMVIP.com levels the playing field giving both a better opportunity for both the Export companies and buyers of cars from Japan.

The inspiration for our community grew since 2004 since the rise of imports of amazing Japanese cars from Japan's domestic market (JDM), most of which were previously unavailable in markets outside Japan.

In that time there have been many different websites, communities and of course companies formed to serve the JDM Import Car enthusiast community.  Unfortunately since this is the automotive industry, there are a lot of underhanded and dishonest things that do go on when it comes to JDM Cars.

Most concerning of all are communities sponsored by different JDM import companies that ensure negative opinions and information cannot be circulated about their dealings, many hiding under the guise of being an enthusiast site and trying to claim they are unbiased.  There are certainly many great communities and importers to serve the needs of the import community but there are perhaps just as many that are waiting to take advantage of unsuspecting JDM Japanese Used car buyers.

Unlike many other communities and sites, we have absolutely no involvement or ties to anyone in this industry.  We are individuals who want to get the most out of Japan's finest offerings of JDM Cars and help others do the same.

This site was created first and foremost with the consumer in mind. Our goal is to provide real exciting, unbiased and factual information about the excellent variety of JDM cars available for import.

We hope you enjoy our growing community and the wealth of information it will continue to be for as long as the JDM scene is alive.

We'd also like to remind everyone that JDMVip.com welcomes all its members from around the world including government officials and import/export companies to be a part of our site.
