You can get some cheap rx8s if you are willing to invest some time and a couple hundred dollars in coolant seals and other misc stuff.

This means you can get a pretty cheap rx8 project car and fix it in a week relatively cheaply if you did your research. It is a very fun car.

[@PELPIDAS]

Got my MRS this summer for 5500 euros. The car was mint with only 119.500 kms (75k miles) on the clock. Not rolled back since I verified it with some really reliable methods. All it needed was 2 o2 sensors, floor mats and some gaskets since it still had the oems that where leaking due to the many years. (I'm a Toyota mechanic so I do all myself). The car also was already equipped with trd front strut brace, trd front underside brace, trd header, trd muffler and tailpipe (1 unit), trd free flow air filter, trd inlet pipe, trd short shifter, TTE lowering springs and the JDM badging all around. I also got all the stock parts as well. I use it as a daily driver (only vehicle I own, yes I'm committed) and it's doable and totally worth it. I think I struck a great deal. So they are out there boys, get them while still cheap!!!!

[@ThatGuyRighty]

I have to put some light here. Realistically I would never recommend any of the cars on this list. Unless, and heavy unless, you are willing to put funds into the car for an extended period of time. At $5k or below that vast majority of these cars are not worth it at all. 1. MR2 Spyder is known for burning oil depending on on model year 2. MR2 SSW. You are going to spend more money than it's worth simply due to the age like most cars from that time. Also decent examples go for way more than $5k 3. IS300. Gas milage is dogshit. The rocker panels are very known to rust. You can find good examples of this car, but do your due diligence when going to look at one(Seriously most of these are clapped by idiots. Not talking about those who use it for motorsports, but the takeover crowd.) 4. G35. Buy it from a good used car dealer. Most good ones have a reputation to uphold. That's where I got mine back in 2012. Buying from a private seller is very risky (Due to most of these, again, being used for some foolishness.) 5. 350z. Read 4. 6. NB Miata. It's fun to drive, but a lot of people have brought them strictly for clout like all these cars listed. Also, at least for me the horsepower becomes a factor when pretty much everything on the road is passing you. Modifying is not worth it as there is already faster platforms available. If built the car is cool, but is a rolling death trap due to the weight and wheel base. If stock just keep the maintenance up and fix whatever issues it has due to age. 7. NA Miata. Fun to drive, but like the NB you might get to a point you are chasing horsepower. If you like it stock just keep up with maintenance 8. Z31. As I mentioned UNLESS you are ready to put money into it for an extended period of time do not buy this. 9. 200SX S12. Not worth at that age. Parts are few and very far in between. Car will live on jackstands 10. MR2 AW11. See line 2, but more money involved

[@talonblizek5427]

Bought a 92 sc400 black with tan interior for 3k, running and driving, working ac, already on tien coils and wheels. For a cheap drift platform the Lexus SC is a steal right now. The infamous A80 Supra was designed off of these cars and they come with either a 2jz or a 1uz both fantastic platforms for reliable drift cars to get seat time in and beat. I also bought and still own a 99 sc300 silver with black interior in beautiful shape for 5500$. Sure it has some small blemishes but the car gets thumbs up from old Porsche drivers and Ferrari drivers, for $5500 you have to love it. It’s as reliable as a Camry, I daily drive it, and it handles like a mk4 Supra once you do suspension and wheels. Even with the 99 automatic transmissions you can daily drive it comfy as can be, and still downshift it and slide it anywhere anytime

the thing with cars that have mismatched fenders. that "5 grand" is a hidden sucker cost. That sw20 you posted was smacked pretty good in an accident and if you remove those fenders and bumpers you may find all kinds of compromised chassis under there, the car might not run straight - not something you want with an eventual lots of power when you "Build up" to the dream from the project. Any time you buy a crashed car, you also have to deal with rust hidden deep inside the hollow cavities of the frame that you cannot see until they are basketball sized bubbles of flaked metal. Something to consider. Your page seems to be on the ven-diagram of mid 20 something, more enlightened (read: semi-enlightened) but not quite there yet to see that the magical "5 grand car" can simply never be; they are all contingent on the idea of "becoming" your dream car for cheaper and that is never the case. and I mean never.

You can find clean body RX8’s for around that $3-4k range, you just have to know what to look for when buying a rotary car

[@ironbloodedmyth1204]

Many ppl tend to stay away from it because of the bad reputation it has of being unreliable, but again if you wanna use it for fun or project then sure but as a daily better have a second car.

We just had two crazy hurricanes here. Do not buy a Florida car rn. Hell my neighbor literally drove down to Jacksonville from Orlando to sell his flooded car cleaned it to make it look mint.

[@hakosan86]

Damn man. Did they give him non flooded car value?

[@bawxofchawclets4836]

@@hakosan86 nope sold for the regular pre flood price

[@nomangriffen4999]

the big one for me is a Lexus cost 1.5k to 2.5k that's tagged or close enough and isn't in bad condition

[@ThrottleJerk]

I've never in my life seen an mr2 under 10k. I might move to the us at this point

[@Overalt165]

Man , if buying a car is hard for you guys, Its hard to believe in my country, i live in brazil and dream of living in the U.S. and buying a car, but the cheapest new car there costs like 70k. Meanwhile, the minimum wage here is about 1600 or something like that. It's tough to find a good car that doesn’t have a history of speeding tickets or whose documents aren't being chased for some reason. And we can't forget that our currency is like 6 times weaker-1 dollar equals about 6 reais. Here, there's this guy who made KZbin videos. He lived in Japan, bought a JDM car, and when he came back with his custom ride, his girlfriend (who’d been asking him for money for school) said she needed a big sum. So, he ended up selling his dream car just to help her, and she disappeared, leaving him heartbroken. Really crazy story, and if you seen the before and after you will notice, is not just a car, its a dream, its like your partner, Anyway, I wish you all the best of luck. Don't give up on your dreams! God bless you all, Sorry if my english is bad, I learned it playing Minecraft and COD on my Xbox 360.

what do you think of ke70 4age swap?

[@1993VolkswagenPassatGLXVR6]

bro, many of these cars like the is is around 10k as an auto, and the z and g35 and around 7-10k alot of the time, but like theyre still cheap compared to other cars tho so I aint complaining

[@qwopis7934]

I got a 1999 nb Miata 5 speed 10th anniversary 144000 miles with one owner for $2700. He was an old dude who drove it to work out of town for 20 years. No postings on the internet I just found it on the side of the road. Just saying if you look hard enough you can find a steal.

[@hakosan86]

Totally agree

[@bbdanny]

how tf are all of these cars so cheap in the USA? here in Finland you can't find any of these for under 5k, many like the NA miata or MR2 are easily over 10k, which is weird, since you can often find good condition mk4 supras for under 30k

[@evilanglin8038]

Mitsubishi starion/Plymout Laser/Dodge Daytona missing

[@Detah_]

Main issue with the IS300 is 90% of them are autotragic and the manual ones swapped or factory you can almost never find under 5k.

[@original__gmebvy]

They were marketed as luxury cars (which makes sense as they were sold under Toyota’s luxury marque Lexus). The vast majority of people who buy a luxury car don’t want to and/or cannot be bothered to drive a manual. Luxury cars are about convenience and relaxation without having to lift more than one finger or foot at a time. If it’s not as comfortable as the couch they have in their living room, they won’t buy one.
