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.
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
@@stephenmoore1541 ik but it wasn't from factory is was second hand so I think they swapped the v8 to 2jzge it was also automatic transmission was pretty fast for stock car powerful too
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
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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.
I love you ideal media!!! but can we be honest?!? non of these cars are under $10K (without being over 180k miles or salvage title,missing parts or not running.)
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.
I PICKED UP A VR4 A WEEK AGO FOR $2500 BUCKAROOS guy said engine was seized got it home and was able to turn it at the crank. I found out 2 days ago theres a hole in the engine block
Should probably change the title of this video ("cheap")...and if you're talking 6-10k...To not include a '04-'06 lS430 is questionable. Arguably one of the best built cars from the 2000s era.
thank you for adding the cefiro a31 in 3rd I love those car is super underrated because u dont see in other game like Forza, Need for speed and assetto corsa and this car even have the same coilover of a S13 (or 240sx, 180sx) I recommend to buy a project cefiro so u can have a rb25 engine of the car (I own a Nissan cefiro a31 and there are fun )
When you see a video like this titled "cheapest tuner cars/most affordable JDM/bang for your buck sports cars!" and its more than 1 year old, just skip. All these cars go for 10k-20k now.
The Supra also got the 2JZ-GE, but those aren't as desirable as the 2JZ-GTE. That's why you don't really hear of them. Add to that the fact that most of them came with an automatic transmission.
The FR-S is a cool car just takes a lot to get actual power out of them you can make him handle great and get a little performance out of it but it takes a lot to get some power out of those Motors
Car channel that calls every car from Japan JDM. I see only 1 JDM car here, the Soarer, which is the same car as the SC300 but came with 1jz-gte and manual.
Don't listen to this clowns there are chasers at low miles clean condition for less than 10k....it will be non turbo and automatic and have an ugly brown interior..but it is a chaser under 10k worth buying plus you can swap all that like am doing with my jzx90 mrk ii rn
Can anybody help me out? Im looking for a cool fist car but am not allowed a sports car or a 2 seater. It has to be cheap around 10k or less. I don't know what to go after.
So the BRZ costs 11000$ I live in iran and earn 80$ a month which means i have to work 137 months without spending any money to buy one (I have a well paying job) Yes im fucked

My father sold is sc400 with the 2jz for 4000 and he now has a galant vr4 v6 he's selling it soon very cheap but they are stock

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
Has Mitsubishi been working with USA brand? I knew about the Dodge Stealth, but I didn’t know there were so many “collabs”
@@clinchknot8224 yup Plymouth laser with Mitsubishi. dodge colt/ lancer
The eclipse isn't a JDM car, it was built in america, and the eclipses that are in japan were imported

Here in jersey gt86’s and brz’s are well over 20k it’s wild they hold there value pretty well
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
Try the 350z they asking a lot and they are abused
I got mine for 11k
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

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 ❤
Do u enjoy your new car？ I plan to buy a 3000gt too, any suggestions?
I would definitely love to have the Lexus SC and the Toyota Cressida Mark ||. That SVX and 3000GT are also spicy😍
I will take the IS300 because it is almost have the same engine as the Toyota Supra but it is naturally aspirated.
The Supra also got the 2JZ-GE engine. They're not as popular or desirable as the turbo though.

Me too also bc i really like Sedans/boxy cars.
Everytime these videos go out, the price on these cars go 📈📈📈📈📈
I bet you money half the production teams at these TH-cam channels own these cars in these videos and inflate the prices
I've been looking at 3000gts for years and now they're gonna be skyrocketing. thank you.
The FD RX-7 would be the younger brother to the FC, not older
Its older the fc came out before the fd
@@kr33_malco54 I can't actually tell if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me
@@Pucknuckle Yes
Please make a video on " Best body parts to sell to buy a JDM car "
some people add skyline body kits for these cefiros. no idea how cheap they are, but definitely doable.
This is the video we want 🔥🧡
That’s it, I’m gonna take my shopping list and go find me one! You helped me narrow it down. Maybe that SVX
The FC is my 2nd dream car... The problem with these JDM cars is how hard they are to get in the UK
Big respect ... For adding a clip of haruguchi and his fc rx7
The Mitsubishi Galant ! especially Galant 8 facelift, a gorgeous under-rated gem
3000 GT VR4 Is a gem
love how you got right to the point. 👍🏾
I love you ideal media!!! but can we be honest?!? non of these cars are under $10K (without being over 180k miles or salvage title,missing parts or not running.)
In my experience on the East coast, these numbers are always unicorn level low.
"sciotayabaru FRZ86" LOL, earned my like
Every cars in this list is over $20,000 in Australia

USA and UK have the best car market, you are so lucky. Us europoors have to settle for ratty BMWs
In our country you can sometimes find a Supra mk3 for 10k euros
Where bro???
Netherlands but most of them are sold in like 1 day
I PICKED UP A VR4 A WEEK AGO FOR $2500 BUCKAROOS guy said engine was seized got it home and was able to turn it at the crank. I found out 2 days ago theres a hole in the engine block
In Norway the gt3000 is 10k to 25k and the rest are 15k- 35k USD
Where are these proces coming from? You need to DOUBLE these prices in Australia

Where I live the gt86 starts mid 20's😅
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.

Svx is a nightmare to do major engine work on

some came with the weak manual transmission the “Glass Cannon” W58
They're a cheaper way into a Supra and you can always turbocharge it. Just need the GTE kit.
I own a JDM legacy Wagon BH5 (Twin turbo) manual. It's beyond amazing fun and super practical. Disappointed it isn't here
Somebody hit Brad with a *DICTIONARY* CHEAP you said? That's like Paul saying "Bro I almost had you"
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
Toyota Celica alltrac should’ve been on here
Do best VIP cars under 15k next I blew up my last car and I need a replacement.

that white Toyota crassida is in ari lanka that number plates are in there
You should also had to mention the Toyota Chaser in this line up.
sorry kiddo there’s probably not a single chaser worth buying that will run you less than $15k
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
Cressida? Where the hell u gonna find one of those? I have NEVER even seen one. Lotta lexis on this list I must say!
The Scion frs are as little as 12k here in Georgia
What site do you use to search for cars SH?
Noo it’s already hard enough to find a RSX Type-S, now y’all gotta put more attention on it
When I think of cheap JDM that I can actually afford...I'm thinking old Honda Civic, Toyota Celica, Toyota MR2, Mazdaspeed 3 or 6.
