Hey, and welcome back to the next episode of the right hand drive guys podcast the podcast for guys who like right hand drivesI'm Bobby. This is Aaron. Yeah, yo and we are back yet again with episode 111 and
It's Wednesday, so that means this can't be just a regular episode. Nope. What is it? It's a marketplace episode
soIf you're new hereThen the marketplace episode basically we each grab a region we scour Facebook marketplace and we find youWhat we think are either the coolest the best deals or the most interesting right hand drive cars in our regionYeah, and so today I took like the Texas Oklahoma Arizona region. Yeah, yeah, where are you at? So I was in the dirty South
How dirtyAtlanta. Oh wow, okay, so like a pretty much the 250 mile radius around Atlanta. Yep
So that's cool. Hopefully you wash your hands afterwards
So okay cool. Let's get right into it. So I'll start and I
found aPretty cool1997 Honda step wagon. Oh wow. That is pretty cool. Yeah, so if you're listening
I mean, yeah, this thing is kidded. It's got wheels. It's it's probably got quite a few
Aftermarket parts that I don't even understandBut it it does haveFabulous brand parts and that's why it says fabulous. I've never heard of that because I've never yeah never ordered a step wagon thing
But it has air suspensionYou know a bunch of sound itemsI feel like a VIP type bill. Yes, and it has a gritty turbo kit on it. Oh wow. That's cool. Yeah, so it's a boosted step wagon
That's a jet he does not list thekilometersHowever, this unit was listed three months ago. Oh, yeah, so
Hopefully he still has it if he's advertising it. He is asking 22,500
Little steep. I mean the condition looks great like if this is the condition that I
Actually is inside now maybe if you're a step wagon guy this makes sense. Yeah, but I can't say I would pay
25 for this thingIt is located in Murphy, Texas though Murphy. Yeah, so if you're looking for a cool VIP van and you just flush with cash
Head over to Murphy cool. All right my first one. I got a 1990 Mazda Miata. Oh, well
It's listed for 16 999 and this is listed about a day ago inHauston, GeorgiaThe description it really doesn't have much info. It's right hand drive. It's manual. It's clean inside and out
but didn't really look like anything that awesome to me at leastYeah, a little high on the price, but he says prices were best also it come with snow tires in the rearJust get around on yeah, we I would hope it would yeah, what's the price did you say 16 999 which yeahI'm not sure the roadster like what the roadster market isBut it seems a little high to me four or five grand two higher a little bit. Yeah, it's a little on the higher side
It seems but what do I know yeah? Yeah?
Definitely not a Miata guy noOkay, cool so over in Tulsa, OklahomaThis one I didn't realize until right now how long ago it was listed it was listed 10 months agoThere's probably a reason for that it is a1993 Toyota control controller Toyota Corolla right hand driveAE86 Sprinter ApexIt has a hundred and thirty two thousand kilometers and
it saysIt has over 20 years documented documented at scuba andExtremely well kept was your rust. It's a race car
You know the the mod list is a mile long. Yeah, but these things are getting harder and harder to find unless you get one on T-Moo
Yeah, so it's like you know, it's worth it's worth talking about a while typical panda build. Yeah, for sure
That's exactly what it is. It just needs the
The hey, it just needs the letters on the side. Oh, yeah, yeah, you know
But yeah, like I said it was listed 10 months ago who knows if it's really still on the market if it is still on the market thenThis guy's gonna take less than the 25,000 that he's asking. I mean it seems like a decent price for yeah, I mean for these things
You know unless it's just totally beatWhich it's a race car, right?
Definitely, I'm sure it's beat, but hopefully it's not to be rightSo yeah, if you're looking for one of those bad boys over in Tulsa, OklahomacoolSo from Lawrenceville, Georgia. I got a 1997
Integritype areListen about a day ago for $22,000. Look at that thing
She's ready to go. Oh, those are T37s. Yeah, it's got T37s
No accident history. It's got 108,000 miles
Everything works no rustFront lip is cracked. It's really the only bad thing. It's got wheels suspension T37s and then exhaust
22k seems like a solid price forYou know definitely a start to a nice build where did you say it was?
Lawrenceville, Georgia. Yeah, yeah, so 22k for the 97 not bad
I just so happen to have a type R as well on my my list next. How do we always do this? I don't know
so this was listed about a month ago in Denton, Texas andThis is a 98 like we said and it isIt's got a mugen exhaust. It's got a Momo steering wheel. He says it's mechanically sound with a healthy B18
that runs like clockwork andHe doesn't list the KM so that makes it hard to compare with yours. Yeah, but he is asking $27,000
Which I don't know I've seen these all over the place. It really depends that missing mileage is like
That's key right. Yeah for sure, but it looks very clean
And he says the pricing is slightly negotiable in person so if you're looking for 98 spec in championship whiteThis might be your you know, this might be your play and if he's willing to negotiate a little bitYou know from 27 like dude hit him with the 25 like 24 or five like see he's gonna say noBut at least you'll get him thinking lower right for that price. I'm hoping it's pretty low KM
Yeah, and and men although it to me it does seem like the hood might not match the rest of the bodyBut that could be the lighting, you know sometimes it's right a real mesh with youSo yeah, that's where it is. Den Texas. All right, so I got a 1993
Nissan 180 sxSo 80 Wow, so it's been it's got the Sylvia front end on itIt's been completely respite for sure. It's got the G-Corp full arrow kit
Turbo SR five speed only 85,000 kilometers, which is pretty decent. It's low
He's asking 22450 and that's down from 25 so he's already taking a price cut on itListen about a month ago. I'd imagine probably still has it
Ermost South Carolina. It's where it's located
But yeah, it's got a pretty decent model. This has got the full bolt-ons, you know the front mount oil cooler intake
Exhaust full tune. Yeah, I mean it seems like a pretty decent car for the price
It sounds like it's ready to go and it's all one color which is kind of hardKind of hard to pass up a car that you know a nasty chassis. That's all one color nowadays. Yeah, yeah absolutely
Yeah, and it is getting harder and harder to find so if you're looking for oneYeah, that might be a good option especially with the Celayity thing. Yeah
Looks cool. So I got a 99 Stagia. He says it's a very clean car with low mileage, but literally does not list the mileage
He says it's great if you're looking for a family car with a little flareLocated in freeport, Texas listed about five months agoThis 1999 Nissan Stagia is gray in color and he's only asking 8500The fact that he's only asking 8500 tells me that it is more than likely an automaticObviously NA at that price. Yeah, must be which is fine like if you need a dad mobile and you just want something JDM
This is at $8500 a great price. Yeah, it's not bad at all
You know, I mean I guess that's kind of going right for the NA automatic cars period kind ofSo yeah, I mean, I like the Stagias and I I feel like this is probably a decent example from a guy that's just trying to get it out of his drivewayDecent yeah, Stages are good cars. Yeah, absolutely
Next up for me. I got an 86 to this an old one 86
Skyline r 30 wow. Oh, yeah 12,000 bucks listed 13 days ago
In Tucker, Georgia. Yeah, I know it's kind of boring, but hey, it's got it's got a dog leg five speed
A dog leg. I yeah, I was gonna Google that before we came on but slip my mind, but
Dog leg I don't know what a dog leg five speed would be but heySounds coolThis car was imported to Virginia from South Africa. This is a South African car. Okay. Now dude
Get this 420,000 kilometers holy crap 420 blaze it dude 220 ish milesWow, that's insane. I dude South Africa someone was whipping this thing heavily dude heavily, but it is super old too
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but the motor was rebuilt by a Nissan racing team in South Africa, which is kind of sounds kind of crazyHas no paperwork on that but it's what he was told. It's got a cam in it and
Yeah, I meanSounds kind of coolYeah, I mean, but I'm not a fan of like the old old cars. Yeah, but I mean dude
I mean it probably has some history and it might have a camera from South Africa wowPretty well 12,000 bucks though. He's asking for it and he's down from 14 five so
goodPrecise going to be down from 12 to 10. Yeah, like I mean, that's just with all the cars for options. You got it
It's super nish like you got it dude. It's got a dog leg five speed, bro
I don't know what that is like I can't even think of what that means dog leg like is itI don't know someone knows they can let us know yeah, let us know it isn't the DMs with the dog leg explanationSo I got myself another Honda and this time it's a 97 prelude with the all-wheel steeringumHe's had a garage kept he says the all-wheel steering steering functions perfectly along with the ACIt has a small leak at the time in cover and he just serviced all the fluids. It is silver in color
And it looks pretty cleanThe all-wheel steering I assume is kind of like a bonus. Yeah, you know for these cars, but at 12, 5 down from 15
You might be looking at 10 as well, you know, and that's that's the raw truth unfortunately isSometimes these cars don't come in the price that you thought they were gonnaYeah, yeah, and I and I feel like the moreThe more that come into the country and the more that are being you know bought upIt kind of makesKind of makes some of these cars like less special like on some of these whatever random cars like that, you know, it'sKind of driving the value down to those because it's not like this crazy
Thing that you've never seen before it's like oh, you've kind of seen thatYeah, we've had up the other right now. That's the steering steering, you know, so that as well. Yeah, so like especially that, you know, you'd have yeah
So I mean 12, 5 it does not list. I hate when these guys just don't list the mileage
Yeah, it's annoying. It's like dude like you want to sell this car, but you're not willing to tell me what if the same thing?
60,000 kilometers on it, right, but what if it has whateverRight, that's funny literally. Yeah, exactly. There's no telling, you know, so he can claim it's
Low mileage, but when he doesn't list it that's kind of doesn't make sense, you knowSo yeah for 12, 5 you can get a 97 prelude in silverBody looks pretty mint and this actually doesn't tell me where it is, but it's got to be somewhere in the Texas area. Yeah
DecentAll right, do this next oneKind of goes crazy. It's a 1996 Toyota Supra turbo
Listen for 48,000 bucksSo let's a little bit of time ago, but I'm sure they still got it five months ago in Nashville, Tennessee. Oh
Yeah, dude look at this thing. Hulk green
Like got the full body kit and it's got the euro plate on the front which is kind of confusingDude the inside was all painted the same as the car like like the trim. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, dude it
It went crazy someone probably built this car in the late 90s early 2000s and went crazyWhich is sick. I do like those builds to an extent because it's nostalgic
Well, dude this one's got the the built-in subs in the back. Oh wow
Your subs. Yeah, exactly dude. Uh, it's turbo. That's cool, but it's automatic transmission
178,000 kilometersUh, little to no rustThe bad though paint needs a refresh and the paint isn't perfect, but it looks good from a distanceYeah, it was a rattle can it doesn't look like professionally painted right who knows dude overall it's in great shapeBut nowhere near a show qualityAnd how much should you say that one through 48,000 bucks?
Oof. Yeah, I mean if if you needed a reshale you're not sure that's right hand drive. Still right head drive
Yeah, I don't know that seemsSeems tough. Yeah, I'm mean unless they're just like not listing some of like
The cool stuff that it has maybe I don't know that could be it, but seems a little highSo I gotAn old school store. Oh nice. Oh, nice. Oh, it's a kaito racer. Oh,
Yeah, yeah, it's a pink and white two-toneWith red interiorAnd this thing has the seven MGTE engine with only 71,000 miles on it, which is super proud ofThey usually are yeah for sure super proud of andThis guy listed it four months ago in cypress Texas. Mm-hmm
Again, this is a 91 and he is asking 16,000HmmYeah, I mean, I'm not like a huge sore guy. I don't really know a ton about him
But I'm like would a 91 command like 16 or hand still I don't know. I mean, it's worth what whoever will pay for it right?
Yeah, so I mean if there's somebody that's been looking for it and this is like theThis is the one yeah, or that's their style they're going for yeah, for sure. I don't know, but
Overall, I mean it doesn't seem like a horrible car. It just seems like pretty old
In at 16 grand I personally would maybe not be able to justify it, but I'm not like a drift guyRight. I'm not like an old-school drift guy like a kaito racer. Yeah, but I respect those who are
But yeah, so if you're looking for one over in cypress Texas, this might be the one for youOkay, dude whenever these come up, I always have to share them due to 90 97Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution. Oh nice dude
31,000 bucks was it eight days ago in Greenville, South CarolinaI mean typical. No, it's silver which
Don't love silver, but dude there these always look sick. It's an automatic. It's got a hundred thousand miles on it
Seems like a good price and it says race spec. I don't know if he just like through that out there because race spec
Yeah, I don't know if it's one of those things like a boomer term I guess or somethingYeah, I mean, maybe they had different models of right Pajero. Maybe they did maybe I'm out of line here, but chances are you probably are
But that's cool. I like those for the off-road thing like it's right they're definitely cool
They they seem like they have a really short like wheelbase. Yeah, but I'm sure that they did a great job
Especially in like a gully. Yeah
Hey, you guys getting gully's I can run through with this thingHey, yeah, no can I take a gully test drive please?
So for me I got another Honda or is it a Nissan is it gonna be a Nissan is it Honda or is it is it a Honda?
It wasn't oh what yeah, because you know Nissan and Honda in other news Nissan and Honda may mergesoWould everything prior to today be a Honda or a Nissan and everything after today be a Honda song or or like ado here. Yeah, or like how does that work or in Nanda? I don't know. So I have a 97 Honda smx and
Although I don't think that this price is amazingIt does come with a B20BWith a four-speed transmission and the reason why I was speaking yeah the reason why I actually really like this was first of all the three spokesYo, yeah, dude gotta have those. That's hot and then the the fuck
Yeah, like the 80s cup like graphics. Yeah, I was like dude. This would be hot
Single dude hopping out of that thing with a matching windbreaker. Oh lord dude with the with the pants to match
Yeah, like you could definitely pull some chicks with this thing if you dress like that dude absolutelyThat's what you're going for likeBut yeah, I mean again, it's a 97 it was listed about a month ago in in Austin, TexasI don't know about the price because of course he didn't list the kilometersstandard. Yeah, but he's asking 11 grand
I'm just not sure if like because I believe this is a key vehicle or no, it's not it's got a 2.0 liter
So I mean it's a standard size vehicle. Yeah, so but I don't know if I could pay 11 for it
I think I could pay 7500. I mean it's pretty clean looking
Yeah, I mean that graphic is definitely I think that's worth it alone. Yeah, in those three spokes have no stains on them
Seriously, this guy garage kept this thing waxed it absolutely. Yeah, yeah, as he should
Go ahead. All right, dude. This one is super cool
It's a 1998 Nissan Stadia 260 RS. Oh wow. That's right
The GTR wagonIt's got the R34 front end. It's got the
Complete R33 drivetrainfront end conversion with lots of OEM partsIt's just been wrapped. It's got recarrow confetti's in it
Just you know the typical mods and then I keep reading dude and look who it isRutledge wood dude. Oh, well, ready. It's all Rutledge wood. Oh, man dude
So you know this car is legit. Yeah, for sure. He takes care of his stuff. Yeah, absolutely and I'm sure nothing was spared on this build
But yeah, 50,000 bucks. He's asking for this or
Trade for a skid skater bobcat three quarter-ton trucks E63 AMG wagon possibly others. Wow
So that's cool. You can come with a skid steer and AMG. It don't matter. He's taking it
That's pretty legitDid you ever see him back in the day because he's from Atlanta? Yeah, yeah, right. So yeah, this is listening peach tree city
So yeah, I mean, I remember seeing him at some of the important alliances. He would be be there checking out the builds and yeah
It's cool. Yeah, it was really cool seeing him on TV, you know whenever I was at my dad's, you know what on the NASCAR
Yeah, whenever it was televised so yeah, that was pretty cool seeing him. I'm like wait
That guy. Yeah, it's this guy. Yeah, he's pretty cool. I met him at a spec me
In Birmingham, Alabama once yeah, yeah, yeah before he was like veryYou know before top gear and stuff rightSo okay, I don't know. I guess I'm in the Honda's this week. I mean, I guess it's this week is this week
Yeah, so I got a 91 Honda beat and this was listed 14 days ago in good old Choctaw, Oklahoma. Wow. Yeah, so
This is his description nice beat only problems are AC and operable and original speedo and operabletires are good top is good very fun to drive JDM right hand drive importAgain, good description like it's like it's it's wild the way that people just don't list the mileageYeah, it is wild. He did list the price though and he's asking 7500 which I think depending on these miles, that's kind of standard
When she sayYeah, maybe a little on the high end I think for yeah, I mean because usually you can see those aroundFive or so five. Yeah, I guess if you're lucky. I guess seven's not too far off
If it's in if it's actually decent shape. Yeah, and low cams and all that
But yeah, I mean it does look like a clean car. It does look nice
Has only been listed for 14 days, so I'm sure the guy still has itOkay, awesome dude next stuff for me. I got a 1992 Nissan Silvia Q's
Uh, it's 14,000 bucks listed two months ago in greenville, South CarolinaUh, the Q's means it's an NA yeah, it is a five speed though. It's got the SR 20 DE
It is two tone, so it's get bonus points for thatOh, yeah, I saw somebody say likeNisa all of Nissan's problems could be solved if they went back to painting things two timesMaybe they maybe could be hey, I you know smart guyUh, yeah, it's got a nismo clutch and flywheel. It's got a head gasket that's been done. So that's cool, I guess
Yeah, basic basic suspension modsPretty decent little car14,000 bucks isn't too bad. I mean these are really that's where we'll drive right yeah, yeah, absolutely
Throw something turbo in there. Yeah turbo
Or that until it blows yeah, I mean people do it. Yeah for sure. I mean decent car for 14,000 bucks
Um, so I got a 93 RX 7 and it's from Fayetteville, ArkansasIt's a 1990 oh wait. He says 93 and now he says 92 so it's a 92 93 will say
It was imported legally in his titled no problems. It has a ton of parts. It's got a body kit
It's got these crazyThe mirrors are on the side. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Instead of like on the side of the door. I think those are RMM
Yeah, like the mid fender mount like I don't know much about that's an RX 7 thing. I don't know. Yeah, I
Is what is this?
They can be just kept it back hereBut umHe's asking 23 grand for this thing. It's white. It does look nice the wheel offsets men like
It does look nice. It's got a really cool vented hood
I don't know if it's something I would drive. Yeah, but I definitely think there's a buyer out here for it
He did list it six days ago, so it's still fresh. It's not like it's stale or anything. So yeah
I mean at 23 I feel like this is a decent deal considering all the parts he has on it. Yeah, these things aren't cheap
You know, they're like any of those like quote unquote god cars aren't cheapYou know, it's just is what it is. So yeah, if you're interested check it out. It should be in the Fayetteville area on Facebook marketplace. I can
All right, I got a 1996 Toyota Chaser JZX 100I don't know if this is a real price or not, but it's listed for 23,456 dollars. Oh nice
No sense on no sense on itIt was listed 18 hours ago in Leesburg, Alabama and dude like this thing when I say all show no goPretty much it. That's what it yeah, it dude. It's got a full kit some crazy wheels on it
But it's a one JZ non turbo auto trans. Oh wicked hot. Yeah
So I mean, I think for 23 it's a little on the steep side andCould be nice. It just needs that five speed turbo
Uh, I've speed turbo. Yeah, and then definitely be worth a little more than that probably. Yeah
But yeah, not too bad. Listen, Leesburg, Alabama. I got my last one. I got a K car
It runs and drives the AC and the heat work and it's got power windows. Okay
And it is all will drive four cylinders supercharged. Whoa
What what manufacturer?
Built this carI have not had a car from this manufacturer on today's marketplace suiteUh, we'll say what more time with the spec it's a K car that is all will drive four cylinders superchargedOh, it's black if that helps SuzukiLike kind of close it could even be one but like how to noDo you want to take one more just like for shifting giggles?
We there the cars are prominent here the the the manufacturerUh, let's be in straddle. Oh super
Yeah, it's a 94 Subaru Vivo VVOAnd he's asking six grand and this thing is a little midget carDude, what is that? It looks like a shoe. Yeah, it literally does it looks like it has like a
removable teatops or something like and it's got this funky little offset hood scoopLike I don't know man. That sounds crazy. I know. I don't know. I have never seen one of these never heard one of these
But I mean at 6,000 bucks if you're looking for a K car likeYeah, that's not bad. I mean, but supercharged too. Yeah, supercharged right so it's probably faster than the beat
So like I guess if that's what you're looking for and again, all will drive itIt's pretty much a hellcat. Yeah, I mean kind of it probably makes all the sounds
I mean, but realistically if you do think about it a supercharged all-wheel driveCar yeah period is not cheapNo, so for this to be six grand and maybe even five if youYou know, did I bet that thing would rip in the snow. Oh, yeah, I bet it's fun because it's like it's on it dude
Just tell yeah whip heavy do you hit the target parking lot and just sidewaysBut yeah, this it doesn't tell me where it's located and of course doesn't tell me the miles butThe little Subaru VVO might be good for you if you need a little all-wheel drive commuter and as a bonusThe little rack back. Oh dude. They're rack. Yeah, I don't know what you put on that. Yeah, the golf clubs your suitcase
Anything because nothing will fit in this car like literallyOh wow. Yeah, what do you guys that was really cool. All right my last car is gonna be in 1993 Toyota Mark 2
andDude this thingIt's kind of beatBut the price is good and I'm sure it's a lot of funHa ha sounds like something you'd find in Vegas for something. Yeah, it's kind of deep but you know
Sure, it's a lot of fun, right? Yeah for sure
16,000 bucks. He's asking for this listen about a day ago and Lebanon Ohio is it a drift missile or what a little bit
How the hell'd you go from Atlanta to freaking live in Ohio listen? I don't know. It's it popped up to heavy 250 miles
Maybe it was in the suggested ones. I don't know either way. It's here. Yeah
It's got 94,000 miles, so that's decentIt's got the R154 which is desirable the coil oversIt's got a two-way twin-clutchTwin disc clutchRust-free ice cold ACHe just took it on a four-hour road trip the bad it just has no power steering and he thinks the rack might be badAll the fiberglass body kit and stuff is kind of beat butLet's see it, dudeYeah, I mean it was somebody's low. Yeah for sure. It says
This isWhere to say it? He traded a
Holden for two chasers, and this is the one that he's not keeping so he tradedPretty much into these somehow. Yeah, and this is the one he's not keeping
Stories of guys that can somehow tradeYeah, I love that. I can't do I don't always get stuck with something in shitty. Yeah, no, no
Ditto, but dude, I mean 16,000 bucks for a turboFive speed likeYeah, no, of course that is probably pretty fair especially if if you get the knowledge aboutThe cars and you can put some work in and like 15,000 bucks if you bring your own wheelsSo oh shoot.
