Last chance to buy your favorite JDM before they become unobtainium forever
>>29010459>Last chance to buy your favorite JDM before they become unobtainium foreverPainfully true.Especially when I remember that a used Toyota sports car can now cost more than 100k
>>29010459the truth is that no jdm car was ever good, a 2nd hand 340i xdrive mogs all of them
>>29010473>the truth is that no jdm car was ever good, a 2nd hand 340i xdrive mogs all of themUnless it breaks down, like used German cars tend to do.
>>29010473>bro buy this rental spec egg car with a plastic engineYou're funny
>>29010477not the newish ones (which you can buy for half the price of a "jdm legend")
>>29010497the new ones are still under warranty and within their 80,000 mi service lifespan
which jdm is pretty cheap these days?Eclips?240SX?350/370z?what else?
>>29010497Do you realize that the unreliability of German cars is not just my opinion?Quoting - "German vehicles ,cars ,trucks ,tanks have been know to be unreliable since the 1940s. Tiger tanks literally broke down in the battlefield and were left abandoned because it was too complex to fix it in the field"
>>29010511None of those are cheap. 10-15 years ago you could buy Silvias for 2000 from Japan all day long. Now even the most ragged shit box sells for like 5k+ and good luck finding one with an sr20detThe jdm markets good days are behind us. All the cool cars were made in the 90s
>>29010511Mr2
>>29010511rx8
>>29010497New ones are far worse because of heavy use of plastics. It boggles the mind how stupid racists are. They will always say the German car is better, despite the obvious fact it is not.Unreliable toy to lease only.
Would I be retarded for buying a v8 vantage over a JDM hero car? Euro cars are cheap as fuck in Japan right now because the war has halted exports to a lot of markets. >>29010530MR-S’ are super cheap too, just hideousA Toyota Sera is only $9k currently and is basically a toyota az-1 but FF (gay). Z32: $10k+Mitsubishi GTOs in Japan were all AWD and are under $10k for unmolested non-turbo variants. Around $15k+ for turbo variants.Automatic (DCT) evos are cheap as fuck. You can sometimes find GC8 subarus for under $10k (they usually need a lot of work). Mitsubishi made CJ jeeps (J58/38) thar you can get for $3k.There’s a clean 1.8 K’s silvia on Yahoo auction currently for $17k (manual, unmolested, 70k kms).
>>29010545a v8 vantage is like 100x better than any jdm hero cardriving both on the track would be like going from a 1980 corolla to a gr corolla or bmw m340i to a proper gt3 car
>>29010555Yeah, sort of how it felt stepping into one. Throttle by wire is gay and they’re a bit fat, but otherwise everything felt so nice. >Just thought of another one:s2000’s are over 25 years old now and I see one for $15k (+s/h) with 100k miles.
>>29010511350 and 370ZRX-8, except the late oneZZW30 MR2Miata NB and NC
>>29010511EVO
>>29010459This is your reminder that once the brz/gr86 is discontinued, they will go up in price. This is your last chance to get one. >inb4 they're gonna release a better oneEven driving a new Gen brz compared to last gen, the throttle delay is brutal. They also added a bunch of gay things like backup camera, accident avoidance cameras, blind spot assist etc.If they do make a new one there is a 1% chance its better than the old ones, and 99% chance its gay as fuck. Last chance to get in. Gen 2 is hitting it's lifespan window.
>>29010459I'm too poor to buy my FD
>>29010460>NOT my problemFeels so good man
>>29010640What’s your budget?
>>2901064212k max
>>29010649that’s rough. I saw a stripped out race beater without paperwork sell for $11k a month or two ago in japan. You’d have to commit very illegal acts to make it legal for export. I would say to get an ND miata, but really you just need to figure out how to make more money. If you’re patient and lucky I think you could get a ragged manual for around $20k if you buy directly from auction, plus $2-3k for shipping and maybe more in taxes and fees. ($27k is the cheapest dealer price here, so you can probably get 20% under that at auction)This one will probably go for cheap:https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u1235917987
Done and done
If your still into jdm in your 30s you have failed
>>29010680ESL detected, opinion discarded
>>29010680yeah grow up and buy a 5000lb 4cyl turbo american sportscar
>>29010660It's not illegal, it's 25 years old. Even things that aren't 25 years old can be imported you just can't register them.
>>29010680you’re
>>29010739No, I mean the car was untitled / no paperwork so it couldn’t be legally registered or exported. But you could still trailer it to the race track. Japan has retarded laws around inheritance so this happens a lot.
Everyday I am eternally grateful for aquring my dream car hella early before the current market influenced demand. I cherish every second I drive it, wrench on it, and admire its unique body lines and cool interior.
>>29010801and what is it.
>>29010727you mean the one that handles better than the JDM?
>>29010833
>>29010682>>29010742Jdmcels mad
>>29010985Post hand and car
>>29010511Celica (yes I know you don't want one that's why they are cheap)
>>29010997What now faggot? U gonna call me fat?
>>29011007going up all the time and i hate it because i'm looking for a manual gen 6 lift back but i'm not payin 6k and i dont want some car that needs to be towed.
>>29011014You holding your hand that way to catch a ride because your Moturd broke down?
>>29011046It's the move I do in your moms asshole
>>29010530thisMR2, 3000GT, and Celica GT-Fours are reasonable still
JZX100's are already unobtainium, and it hurts my soul
>>29011007The problem with celicas is the near total lack of aftermarket support.
>>29011770Just buy an E39 and put a turbo in it, looks similar enough
>>29011742Z32's are more attainable than 3000GT VR4 which is the only one that matters. Also, the Z32 NA isn't half bad either while the 3000GT SL is garbage.
>>29010588>ZZW30 MR2with the 1ZZ?eww
>>29012049Pull out a 2ZZ out of a Celica/Matrix/Vibe/Corolla tS and swap it then
>>29012011>Z32they might be more common, but they also seem much more pricey on bringatrailer and carsandbids at least
>>29011770Not really. Auto 1G is like 8k usd in mint condition. Another 6-7k for a 1JZ and R154 plus maybe another 4k for all other stuff.So all in under 20k for a clean 100 that hasn't been beaten on as a drift car for the last 20 years.But then again an auto 1JZ is similar price anyway.Either way a JZX100 is far from unobtainable.
>>29012508Why would you spend 25k on a piece of fucking shit like a JZX100. Let me guess. Instagram told you they were cool and drift machines
>>29012546Idk why do boomers spend 100k on shitbox muscle cars.
>>29012546>>29012607Better yet, why do retards spend 80k on mcdonalds plastic engine bmw leaseshitboxes
>>29012610Mexican schizo
>>29012610Conditioning via rap music and being a wrenchlet.
>>29011007Can I get an eclipse instead? but really why dont they make it like they used to?
no thanks I’m not interested in downgrading from the Ultimate Driving Machine
I want a fun JDM toy i can take to the track under 20kAm I fucked
>>29012980miat
>>2901298013k on a clapped frs/brz/gt86. another 7k in mods.Or if you're a wrenchlet faggot just get a good example for 20k and track it as-is.
>>29010511Overall early 00-s business sedans should be up for grabs - laurels, marks, crowns. Boring - yes, but all in all nice cars and if you're really insist you can still molest them into boyracer drift missiles with bit of an elbow grease.
>>29010556I'm about to inherit an S2000 with 6500 miles and the only mod that's been done to it was a stereo swap. I'm gonna sell it approximately 10 seconds after I get it, I just need to figure out what to ask and where to sell.
>>29013287Why the hell would you not keep that
I might be legitimately retardedI am considering importing a mitsuoka viewt II purely because it makes me laugh every time I look at it.
>>29013926Idk how to drive stick, dad was a wrenchlet and mom was a ricer sympathizer
>>29014280Mexican schizo
>>29013287>6500 milesHow long since it was last turned on? That car is probably all sorts of fucked from lack of use, on the other hand some rich weeb might pay a lot for it as an exhibition piece assuming no rust and all the body panels and interior looking impeccable.
>>29010649Here’s one for $11k. Runs and drives. Odometer was replaced but may not come with a “odometer modified” title.https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u1235917987Zero bids so it should get relisted soon. Shipping to the US should be $2-3k and if you do the paperwork yourself they may not charge you taxes. Bring a battery and a few gallons of gas.
>>29010459>Last chanceYou had your last chance like 10 years ago.Ever since the zillenials and zoomers have grown up (the same ones watching Eurobeat / Initial D edits during the 2016 election), the competition has grown larger and more fierce.Influencers are the last straw on the camel's back.
>>29012966because 90% of the people who buy / lease new cars are either single mothers, the elderly or retards.no one cares what the 30-year old neet who still plays NFSU wants to buy, because he never will and (for the most part) lacks the cash and is not dumb enough to fall for a loan with 400% APR
>>29017062>car prices are trumps faultOkay.
I really really really really really really really want an RX-7.
>>29018703Why?
>>29018703No you don't. You really don't.
>>29010497Dumbfuck the new ones are even worse>imported chinesium metal>imported chinesium parts>assembled by jeets and mahmouds and nafris>every single chip and sensor are made of chinesium
>>29010511Pretty much none of the cool ones with any sort of pedigree, especially if they were seen in F&F movies, or other street racing media from the era.
Just buy a GR Yaris while they're still around, in 20 years a clean good condition unit will be worth triple digits easy and will have achieved JDM legend status.
>>29018828Yup, if i didnt already own old Nip cars i would dip into the current gen cars.
