Summer is halfway over, which means you can start looking forward to not just cooler weather, but hot deals on cars. If you are in the market for a new ride and have your sights set on a Japanese brand of car, there’s good news on the horizon: during the fall of 2025 several makes and models from Japan are set to see their prices go down, potentially giving drivers a good deal to get behind the wheel.

GOBankingRates got in touch with Alex Black, automotive expert and chief marketing officer of EpicVIN. He shared the five Japanese cars that will have massive price drops in fall of 2025 based on EpicVIN auction trends and dealership stock.
2021 to 2023 Toyota Camry
-
Estimated Price Drop: $2,000 and $2,500
Toyota produced too many of these Camrys before focusing more attention on hybrids. Black has seen lots of used ones available at the dealers and customers desire SUVs, with large discounts will likely sell through metal ahead of 2026 deliveries.

2020 to 2022 Honda Accord
-
Estimated Price Drop: $1,800 and $2,200
“The new-gen Accord isn’t selling like Honda expected,” Black said. “More used Accords are entering the market as leases expire. More of a good thing? No, it means resale values decrease.”
2022 and 2023 Nissan Altima
-
Estimated Price Drop: up to $3,000
According to Black, the Altima market is slow for Nissan and fleet renters are disposing of thousands in the fall. “That’ll bring the private market prices lower as well,” Black said.
2020 to 2022 Subaru Impreza
-
Estimated Price Drop: $1,500 and $2,000
“Crosstrek and Outback are winning over Subaru customers,” Black explained. “The sparkle of Impreza has worn off and used ones are stockpiling at the dealership.”
2021 Mazda CX
-
Estimated Price Drop: around $2,000
In Black’s professional opinion, the car market’s full of mini crossovers nowadays. “Mazda’s putting out new CX versions, so used CX-5s will need to be priced lower to be competitive,” Black said.
“We’re getting advance pre-season signals that prices of a few favorite Japanese rides are heading south later in the fall,” Black explained, adding a pro tip to buyers hoping to cash in on the drop in pricing in the second half of 2025. “If you’re purchasing later this year, go bargain hunting in late October or early November. That’s the time of year car people panic to make year-end clearance-doubly so if interest rates remain high and buyers continue to wait.”
