$5,000
-AE86 Corolla's[Very pricey]
-3rd gen supra's [89's]
-180SX[240SX FB]

the drift craze is making those prices skyrocket right now....

i met one 16 year old kid who had an 89 240 hatch, that had a fuel leak, tons of body damage, cracked dash, gutted interior, bald tires, and 172000 miles on stock engine.... he wanted 4500!!!! i talked to him for a while and then he said he wouldnt go below 3000.....

had my nismo veteran friend with me who knows his stuff in and out... said the car was worth about 1500... and would need at least 2 grand in repairs before we could begin modding.....

so watch out for these kids that automatically jump the price a couple grand cause the car is getting popular. but ultimately the car is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. if rich kids are willing to pay more now, well , there goes the cars for the rest of us.... im still looking for a clean stock 91 to 93 240 to jump on

if you want true japanese cars you could go to true cars! of course remember the price is gonna be higher by the time you import them though!

That S12 isn't going to work out so well... Virtually no aftermarket support in the US.
