Word, here in Jersey too, & even with the RSX. The only ones at that price are the normal ones & they’ve absolutely been in a accident & about a good drive to the shore from being sidelined

[@devinkaiser220]

I blew up 2 motors in my frs. Really disappointed in that motor. I use to be a Honda b series guy and those things took a lot to kill

[@stephenmoore1541]

I've never seen a running VR4 for cheap, and every Soarer I've seen is more in the $15k+ range. The only SC300s that are actually expensive are low mileage, super clean examples like mine or ones that have been modded to the moon.

[@imthatguy5360]

Me neither when ever I look by myself they are always so much more expensive

[@bulletclub4life]

those be unicorn finds, when you see them you jump on them....they dont last long, but that shtbox that dont run will gladly still be there for twice the amount....lol

[@oldrrocr]

thanks for giving the RX7 FC a good review. On my second one now (made the mistake of letting my son drive the first one) and after all these years I still love it! My neighbors all have MBZs, BMWs and Porsches and having owned them too, I'm so glad to have the RX7. It's a blast!

[@spikethegamer6690]

A word of advice the Mitsubishi has the eclipse American has the eagle talon Mitsubishi has the 3000gt dodge has the dodge stealth The dodge stealth is the same car with different branding also costs a fraction of the price

[@clinchknot8224]

Has Mitsubishi been working with USA brand? I knew about the Dodge Stealth, but I didn’t know there were so many “collabs”

[@Pinsonneaultmotorsports]

@@clinchknot8224 yup Plymouth laser with Mitsubishi. dodge colt/ lancer

[@robreeto]

The eclipse isn't a JDM car, it was built in america, and the eclipses that are in japan were imported

[@cerisem7727]

Thats true, I owned 2 Eclipses built in Normal, Illinois. It's even stickered on the window where they originated from. I consider it somewhere in the middle, a half JDM car since it's a collaboration. The first and second gen Eclipses share heavily with Dodge and Plymouth, while the third and fourth share very little since their partnership was ending/ended by then.

[@sxnthwave]

The brz/frs/86 platform is also probably the most practical car on this list to daily even with mods. Its going to have a lot more quality of life features than a lot of other jdm cars simply because its newer, and with how popular it is, there are a lot of youtube tutorials on maintenance, mod installation, and common problems to look out for. If you're on a budget, chances are you're going to be using this as your daily as well. Old cars will ALWAYS need repairs and the parts are often harder to find. I daily drove a 240sx for years and it seemed like there was always something that needed work or had exceeded its lifetime. It was a great car, but extremely expensive to drive and maintain. Save yourself the headache and go for a newer car lol

[@atlegangletsoge6165]

I would definitely love to have the Lexus SC and the Toyota Cressida Mark ||. That SVX and 3000GT are also spicy😍

[@YNG_Winter]

I've been looking at 3000gts for years and now they're gonna be skyrocketing. thank you.

[@dbgkaco]

love how you got right to the point. 👍🏾

[@milbin1795]

Everytime these videos go out, the price on these cars go 📈📈📈📈📈

[@jedbeach5284]

I bet you money half the production teams at these KZbin channels own these cars in these videos and inflate the prices

[@Zhuzhs]

Love how the 3000GT is a minimum of $20k for one with 200k kilometres and has some engine problems. 😂 This is in Aus though, ALL our cars are at like 50% higher than everywhere else.

[@YAMAN-ITA10]

This is the video we want 🔥🧡

[@Thecardoctor365]

Im glad the 3000gt made the cut! I just purchased one too! Its been my dream car for years. I plan on taking great care of her ❤

[@user-lx6um2gx5d]

Do u enjoy your new car？ I plan to buy a 3000gt too, any suggestions?

[@zhila5958]

some people add skyline body kits for these cefiros. no idea how cheap they are, but definitely doable.

[@Clide349]

Big respect ... For adding a clip of haruguchi and his fc rx7

[@Yani_123]

thank you for adding the cefiro a31 in 3rd I love those car is super underrated because u dont see in other game like Forza, Need for speed and assetto corsa and this car even have the same coilover of a S13 (or 240sx, 180sx) I recommend to buy a project cefiro so u can have a rb25 engine of the car (I own a Nissan cefiro a31 and there are fun )

[@pastperformance2285]

That’s it, I’m gonna take my shopping list and go find me one! You helped me narrow it down. Maybe that SVX

[@coyster530]

The FR-S is a cool car just takes a lot to get actual power out of them you can make him handle great and get a little performance out of it but it takes a lot to get some power out of those Motors

[@darkcreatures]

The FC is my 2nd dream car... The problem with these JDM cars is how hard they are to get in the UK

[@stoicbaguette]

The Mitsubishi Galant ! especially Galant 8 facelift, a gorgeous under-rated gem

[@prathmeshkapale8981]

Please make a video on " Best body parts to sell to buy a JDM car "

[@justinperalta6280]

I will take the IS300 because it is almost have the same engine as the Toyota Supra but it is naturally aspirated.

[@damilolaakanni]

The Supra also got the 2JZ-GE engine. They're not as popular or desirable as the turbo though.

[@stephenmoore1541]

If you want a Supra without the Supra tax, get a SC300. Same chassis, suspension, power plant, everything except the body and interior. People compliment me on mine ALL THE TIME. Plus the IS300 is exclusively VVTI and when they went VVTI in the GE, they put in pencil thin rods that can't take boost. Contrary to what Brad said.

[@WizardGota]

Me too also bc i really like Sedans/boxy cars.

[@Pucknuckle]

The FD RX-7 would be the younger brother to the FC, not older

They cost that everywhere. Go for a FRS, you can find them as low as 10k if you're willing to put in some work.

that white Toyota crassida is in ari lanka that number plates are in there

[@omarelcheikh7306]

Every cars in this list is over $20,000 in Australia

[@stephenmoore1541]

Your dollar isn't worth quite as much, so that does make a difference. They come out to about the same, except you can import cars from Japan at a fraction of the cost we pay. I mean, you guys actually got Soarers back in the day and can get them for REALLY CHEAP whereas we've only been able to import them in the last few years.

[@-Raashid]

Sciotoyabaru FRZ86. these names are getting crazy now.

[@jlj945]

Toyota Celica alltrac should’ve been on here

[@damilolaakanni]

The Supra also got the 2JZ-GE, but those aren't as desirable as the 2JZ-GTE. That's why you don't really hear of them. Add to that the fact that most of them came with an automatic transmission.

[@Bippu_4.3]

some came with the weak manual transmission the “Glass Cannon” W58

[@ShiningJudgment666]

They're a cheaper way into a Supra and you can always turbocharge it. Just need the GTE kit.

[@deepvoicebanton1]

Somebody hit Brad with a *DICTIONARY* CHEAP you said? That's like Paul saying "Bro I almost had you"

[@andrelakay4750]

You should also had to mention the Toyota Chaser in this line up.

[@henrytanto]

sorry kiddo there’s probably not a single chaser worth buying that will run you less than $15k

[@JdmAnts]

Don't listen to this clowns there are chasers at low miles clean condition for less than 10k....it will be non turbo and automatic and have an ugly brown interior..but it is a chaser under 10k worth buying plus you can swap all that like am doing with my jzx90 mrk ii rn

[@vanhakunnonmasa2664]

Should probably change the title of this video ("cheap")...and if you're talking 6-10k...To not include a '04-'06 lS430 is questionable. Arguably one of the best built cars from the 2000s era.

When you see a video like this titled "cheapest tuner cars/most affordable JDM/bang for your buck sports cars!" and its more than 1 year old, just skip. All these cars go for 10k-20k now.
