ThatDudeinBlue Says the Nissan 240SX Shouldn't Be a Collector Car 

I feel like the same thing happened to E30s. They were turned into drift missiles or gutted for specE30. Great job explaining how something mass produced becomes a collectible and more valuable.

Absolutely bonkers to hear netgear say both "I actually just got hood certified" and "trill recognize trill".

bros whipping out the walmart watches

Congrats on the hood certification!

Please never change. I need something thats actually good to watch and not some oface red circles in the Thumbnail Bs. Love the Vids fr ♥

Yet another straight forward, completely true and thorough explanation from Netgear. I couldn't have said it better. Nostalgia is a very strong force. For me it's the Hondas. They fit perfectly into your point about being cheap and readily available back in the day. No one thought FWD grocery getters would fetch the premium they do today. Looking forward to the next video. 💯

"Do better" 100% agree, more people need to see this.

Do more of these videos of you talking and explaining things, you break things down really well.

I'm trying so hard to build my 3SGE BEAMS motor for my 240 swap. I refuse to let it be a "soon" build.

You a real jdm car guy when you drink Pocari Sweat. Do you think dudeinblue drink Pocari Sweat? hell no.

Yo bro your Julian from trailer park Boys with the glass in yah hand 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm on Julian from trailer park boys side here

Mans watch looks like it came outta the walmart toy section. Little tykes "My First Time Piece!" 💀

Dude i was so annoyed by his video. Was hoping you’d talk about it lol

240s are collectors just not the shit box that has been ran through but that’s just imo

Great video. I bet if he was called ThatBonerinBlue, hed make more valid points

Finally loaded on my end and that is too real. There is no way anyone can predict and say "This car will be an actual investment" there is no way for anyone to predict the future. How do you think that the last gen STI's are gonna be worth a shit ton now as they are no longer going to be made. They'll go up in price somewhat and no one would've guessed

Hype beast sweater on fleek Netflix57! Seriously tho you do b right.

Facts, Im keeping my S13 under wraps so I can build it when I retire 😅

Some good analogies for sure, any non-essential item that's in low supply and in high demand is bound to become a collectable at some point

This video reminded me it's time to roll my s14 out of the garage for a wash and roll it back in for another decade

People eating up this big youtube shit may as well kiss there give away car money goodbye. Its like taxes you'll never see those dollars again.

Why no audio

great video. I'm 27 and can see the trend in my generation too. I had Subaru series blue and now nismo 370z. so like. you I like the Nissan and Subaru which means I must be smart like you, not dumb like little dude blue.

That's Right!!!!!! Set that Dude in Blue straight!!!! Spot on!

I think TDIB was more saying that the 240's are not worth $25k for a beat up drift car that people list them for. He owns a 240 that he built, and the one in the video was not his.

This blunt was smoked by real 240 enthusiasts 👆

Awesome Video! Thanks for being real! And congrats on the hood certificate!

No audio...for some reason :(

That costco sweater goes so hard

Netgear be speaking facts 💯💯💯💪

Costco drip goes perfect with this vid.

I don't get that video by thatdudeinblue, i've watched it and although he says it should not be a collector car he only says good things about the 240sx, which make it more so a collector car? I think he's smoking crack out a straw...

I love how everybody talked about the video even though it's muted lmao

Cool video, keep calling out RU-vidrs that provide false info

I had my brother's 2002 WRX Blue bugeye 5 speed sedan 2 owner. Sold it, because I didn't have time to enjoy it because of my 9-5 job. DOH!

Netgear drip

we need more dudeinblue shittalking

I hope you make more of these bro. Your opinion is gold 👍

Here's where I'm going to stop you: 155 horsepower non-turbo and most surviving ones are slushbox 4 speed automatics. 240sx's sold like crap when they were new and only gained popularity as a platform car to swap in a JDM SR20 or put an aftermarket turbo on. All of those Boomer dream cars were actually fast and powerful and had flagship performance for their day. A USDM 240sx is like a V6 Mustang: hopeless. I've driven several back in the day when they were new-ish and even then they were soggy, slow, boring-ass taxi-spec cars. Just a 4 cylinder Altima with RWD, and I would know as my sister had a brand new KA24 powered Altima and the drive was basically the same. Now, Japanese-spec Silvias with SR20DETs are based as fuck, especially the S15 and even more so in Spec R Aero trim as that was truly a car that could hold its own even in stock form and with mild tuning could take on any flagship JDM car of the era. Those deserve collector car status for sure, they are about as good as it gets for a basic mid-size RWD sports car with a back seat and usable trunk. But USDM 240sx's? No. The only reason they deserve any increase in value is just because of sheer rarity, like Stunt Racer for N64 sells for a lot of money because it was a Blockbuster rental exclusive and there aren't many copies but the game is completely average and underwhelming otherwise, just like a 240sx. So, buy a proper JDM Silvia or just get an FR-S/BRZ instead, there's no reason to buy a USDM 240 unless you get it for like $5k in perfect condition or you are truly running a museum and just want a physical piece of history before the last one gets drifted into a light post.

No audio

Great video! Well put together

This was halarious holy moly

I want one of those costco shirts, where can i get one

Great video lad!

my dad was looking at prices of a70's and aw11's and was so surprised when they were like 15-20K for a beat up example compared to his 5k for a low mileage example back in the early 2000's. They were widely available and the a70 was the most successful saleswise of all the supras which like you said in the video made it attainable blah blah. And then he's been wanting an LFA without following the market and I asked how much do you think 1 costs and he said 400k like it did back in 2014 and then I showed him an auction listing. He was so surprised that a car that was mocked back then would be selling for so much now.

I don't know why but he shows me his G-shock and I hit like.

I really appreciate the lack of BS on CCF.

I would love to see you guys watch Barrat Jackson car auction

It's just hard to believe a used 4cyl from the 90s can be worth more than a new car.

I saw this and instantly thought of Netgear lol minty AF in the Costco shirt yo

H-Town Baby!!

I agree with this title. They are pieces of sheeeit. I got one right out of hs in 2021 all stock like 90k miles plans to keep it stock. Still it was an old ass jdm car and had issues, wasn't a good idea for my dumbass to get it as a daily driver. Luckily I actually made money in selling it (all I did was get fresh factory wheels and some tires n wiring issues all the vacuum stuff). Then I grew a brain and got a brand new Honda accord. Kinda funny that a pos 240 almost straight up paid off a brand new car..... so that's cool ig

What's funny is that I see a lot of people hating on newer cars, or current cars and obsessing over these 90s cars that go up in value each day. And then these cars get so expensive they get priced out and decide to get something from the 2000s. Guess what, they went up in value too! Where I'm going with this, is that people need to open their eyes and see what's out there. Throughout the years there have been great, enthusiast focused cars that are affordable, but everyone lives in the past, so they never get the praise they deserve until it's too late Currently, we're living in the revival of fun affordable cars, and no one cares. But in 10 years everyone is gonna be mad they didn't get one new with 0 miles, instead of buying some clapped shit, or something with a ton of miles

You know for the last 7 years when 240sx started surfacing and people started hyping them up on RU-vid I'm very glad I strayed away from all that crap because now that I try to watch it I realize how cringe these guys really are and how unknowledgable these clout chasers can be and how much garbage they pull out of their bums

Tf u get that Costco sweatshirt

Man I couldn't agree more then with that title. Those cars were garbage. That's the reason it because popular as drift cars. Because they were in every junkyard for the cheap cheap. There still worthless junk. I'm actually happy about the crazy for them because the cool cars from that time are going unloved.

I have a 90' and a 92'. I have other cars like a 66' Chevelle 67 C10 but my 240sx are the ones I would never sell.

Hey I was thinking about this before you guys posted haha

Costco Blvk Card gang gang. Also Pocari Sweat is pretty good, Grapefruit is underrated.

also one of the main reasons collector cars are so expensive is because during the past decades the types and brands of cars that are reliable and well suited to certain modding or are just fast have crystallined out. No one wants or even remembers the shitboxes of 1990 or before. This effects supply and demand further. All the cars sold in the say 90's at best 10% are now on the desirable list because of formerly mentioned attributes as a result everyone and their mother wants 10% of the car markets supply of back than. OFC shit gona get expensive. Plus a lot of people try to get collectors cause you know which ones last compared to current year dogshit

Great video Julian...

Great video, great breakdown, perfect amount of shade - STAY HOOD ✊🏼

Me watching from the UK with a mass amount of 0 produced :(

Video has audio on my PC but not on my phone. Weird

No audio on this video 😢

"people are still doing sex" 🤣🤣🤣

Nobody saying shit now, bro is Hood Certified 💀💀

Video no longer has audio. Got halfway in and after the add the audio was gone =(. Netgear was spitting facts tho

Nice jammies dude. You should clean your office, you look like you got the hoarder starter pack.

That’s definitely a collector watch

Also the new intro is tight

HAHAHAH!! Excellent video ! 🙌🏻⚡️⚡️⚡️

Please don't change into those BIG name "loser" channels as you grow! so Correct about everything! STAY BASED my friends.

Anybody else not getting any audio?

While I understand that it is easy to be yourself and not be scared of the corporates at a small audience channel it becomes significantly harder when you have a bigger audience and sponsors. Although you still can be yourself just depends on who you are and in this case that dude in blue is a sellout.

Perfectly explained

it would be amazing to get an older car actually re produced same tech and everything. sells for stupid cheap cause old tech. fuck up the auto world would be amazing

Damn!! Shots fired

The thing is, the 240 doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It has to compete with other similiar old and new cars as it gets up in price point. Personally, I don’t get it. The 240s are cool, but once you’re pushing 20k+, there are soooo many other options, unless you really have a thing for 240s, but that’s mostly just people who had one or knew someone that had one and have an emotional connection to them. I don’t remember them being a huge deal back in the day when new, unlike the Supra, RX-7, Skylines, Type-Rs etc 240s seem more to be hyped up later in their life, much later, when drifting blew up. Not to say that they weren’t’ in motorsports before, but it wasn’t an S tier car ever that I can remember. (I’m 38 by the way, and still have a stack of Import Tuner and SuperStreet mags in my attic)

I need another s13

9:12 😂

genuinely curious where your hate towards verts comes from? asking because i sold mine bc it was a vert lol

it shouldnt be a collector car. just due it being a very good car, it being a collector car is overrated. it was a mass produced vehicle, and just due to US demands, silvias cost so much now.

did he change his title? if he did that's some peak comedy!

TDIB vids Fckn suck😂 I think he’s a good example of persistence…even if no one thinks you’re cool, you just gotta be everywhere all the time and people will eventually tolerate you lol

Go off king 👑!

Betgear57 lmfao

based costco swag

netgear speaking 📠 as usual

I do not believe the 240sx should be a collector. To me the 240 is just a shell of the legendary Silvia. The not putting a SR motor in the USDM sucked. They only reason they are sought after are because most are clapped out.

This video actually helped me understand a little more in depth about what makes so many cars today be worth so much rather than just only saying "High demand, Low supply" and thats it. Like honestly this video isn't hugely opinionated, its literal facts.

The analogy between Classic Muscle and 90s Japanese Sports Cars is a great way of putting it. The correlations go even further than that as I've experienced with my '71 Skylark as most of the desirable models are trashed, modified or at M'Cum going for $85k so you're left with limited choices at this point.

I hope you guys get big. These videos are much better than the bigger YTubers

My very first car was an auto 93 240SX SE hatch, black auto with nice black interior. I paid $2500 when I was 15, I'm almost 34 now and it would probably sell for five times that.

I'm fucking rolling at this video! I watched that video and was like excuse me......... "All you did is state facts on why its a Collector car!" Gear And Feed Keep up the great content Legit want that Costco fit!

Bro anyone else not getting any audio from this video?

I actually did a final project for a class on this very phenomenon. Its known as the 25 year rule and it comes from collecting toys but it is vastly similar to cars and what is going to be collectible down the road. Net hit all the right points here but one point that I think furthers this conversation is how influential digital media is in cementing the 240sx and other Japanese classics in the collectible car scene. I did end up acing the final.

well that dudeinblue is cringe so his opinion is invalid edit: based sweater and watch btw
