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're your host for episode 106 and
last month we did thePretty much Japanese version of the marketplace sweep and so this month we brought it back to the US soil andWe did our standard marketplace sweep which if you're new here pretty much we findWhat we feel are either decent or interesting buys?
Yeah in the United States on Facebook marketplace andWhich generally we each do 10 and then one of us will do like kind of a not good dealso to speak something that maybe we wouldn't buy andYeah, let's hit it soLet's see since you have this week the do not buy I will start on the buys andGenerally we will do a region within the United States. I did the
Pretty much Southwest ish area. Yeah, where'd you do? I did it was a pretty much a 250 mile radius around Illinois
Ohio, Michigan andIllinois a little bit of Kentucky. Yeah, so kind of in the middle ish, right?
I don't quite the Midwest but like not the East Coast. I don't know what that region's called
Yeah, if anybody knows send us a DM like what is that area called? I know
Ohio is the heart of America. Yeah, so you're close is it? That's what that's what they're claiming? Yeah, I think it was on their license plate
Okay, I think your body was the United States and you put your right hand over your heart. You'd smack Ohio
Checks out. Yeah, yeah, so it does so all right cool. So the first that one that I got is
Pretty cool. This is something I actually really want
However, I don't think I could afford this oneIt's a 1993 Hino RangerThree car hauler whoa. Yeah, not the dub but the triple which is like sick because
Three cars is like a sweet amount of cars to bring somewhere that's a 32 or 33 and 24 what's it got two up top and one on the bottom?
Yeah, exactly and so I seeYeah, I mean, I love the thing. I really want one this one
Seems like it's had one owner in the US. He listed it three days ago. So it's fresh out of color
Out of springs in Colorado andBasically, it's got the 6.7 liter diesel with the 6-speed manual
The issue for me here is that it does have air breaks and an air clutch air clutchYeah, and so this is CDL territoryUnited States. No way. I didn't realize that yeah, so because of the brakes in the clutch
Yeah, if it's got air then you need the CDL soInteresting that's a bummer for me because I wouldn't legally be able to drive this without getting a CDL whichIsn't completely out of the question like it's just another thing to check off but just for your car haulerI don't knowBut yeah, he says it's in great great shape and it just needsSome new hydraulics one of the hydraulic rams leaks, but yeah, he's asking 60,000 for itIt's a bit high considering it needs work
however, I don't know what you could find anythingRemotely like this in America for right, you know, I know that they have the doubles with like the flatbed, butWe don't haul around cars like they do it's weird. They do it a little different. Yeah, they definitely do
So they have a ton of haulers like that over thereI just like on goadette or whatever it might beIt's so hard to search for them because you can't ever figure out the name of the vehicle and like which class even within the nameRight, they're very hard to search for you got to find someone in the know that knows what they're what they're afterYeah, cuz you'll end up getting like the landscaping beds and the dump beds and yeah, what you want to form to and you really can't find thembut this is this is an awesome unit a
Little different of a price, but still super rare to find normally you find just the single car haulersYeah over here because something like this has to be put onLike it can't just go in a container and it's not put in like a standard row row spotRight usually on the deck is what I've been told. I see yeah, so it's just a little bit different
What do you get cool?
So up for me I got a 1993 Mitsubishi EVO oneWow, EVO one you really dug deep. Oh, yeah, I did they're asking 12,000 bucks
Which is pretty decent I thinkIt's got a whole laundry list of modifications andMaintenance done to it couple cons or faded hood roof top of wing typical, you know 90 car stuffNeed some some tuning he says and the AC condenser and compressor lines will need to be installedBut they are included soSeems like a decent buy. I mean
12,000 bucks you got yourself an all-wheel drive turbo EVO oneI mean if the body's in good shape for sure, right and you know people might mistake it for a mirage or somethingBut like they just don't know yeah, I mean you're buying an EVO one because you like EVO ones, right?
You know like I personally would not buy an EVO oneBut like that's just me, you know, but there are guys that are head over heels for themYeah, for sure and excited this pretty cool and only has a 102,000 kilometers, which isDecentYeah, decent buyHe didn't have a city listed but city how long has it been up there a couple days nice freshOh, yeah, I got a 1996 Nissan Gloria Gran Turismo AltimaNice on Gloria Gran Turismo. I love it when they just tack on another name names and names and
So this thing has pretty low kilometers 60,000 kilometersHe imported the car for like himself and he's only asking 13.5
It's a white Gloria. It's you know in good shape. It's it's a Gloria, right?
Yeah, you know, I mean they're attractive to some people but for 13.5
I think you're in good shape on this. Yeah
You can do cool VIP stuff with these yeah, those things are plush on the inside too. Yeah, definitely a comfortable driver
And this thing was listed 11 days ago in leveling ColoradoColorado. Yeah, I mean they got some deals over there. It seems hell yeah
Yeah, cool up next for me. I got a 1999
Nissan Sylvia. Oh wow
It says cues, but I'm not sure if the cues the case. I've never seen that on the Ns 15
Yeah, I think he's a little confused. Yeah, I think this is more of like a spec S
Because it was initially or it's still in a it's got the NAS R20 it is a five-speed so that's coolGuys asking 24,990 listed two days ago in PalatineIllinois. Yeah, I'm not sure what type of deal that is. Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is a dealer
So I'd imagine he is tacking on a few extra thousand there, butIn his description says just arrived from Japan right hand drive sport coupe with five speedSR 20 enginedrives greatCourse of the host not too much there, but you know, it's a black S15 black interiorIt's a decent base for someone, but a little high on the price I thinkYeah, I mean, I don't know it's hard the markets everywhere right now for sure as probably most of you guys know it's
It's fluctuating heavy and so I got my obligatory94 super every time I got to have a super to see where these right hand driveYeah, yeah prices are at and soThis guy's got a six-speedturboYou know, whateverSuper like from the factory. Yeah, and but now it's got this big single turbo fatty single, huh?
Yeah, and so he I guess he says IHave two of them can only drive one at a time my loss your gainOkay, so you're all lady made you get rid of your car? Yeah, yeah
So you're all lady got pissed because you had two of the same car. Yeah, I feel you
So yeah, this was listed 28 days ago in in England with Colorado. It's a silver car with
You know like 100 and whatever thousand kilometers kind of standard for this price range46,500Clean car stock wheels, you know stock arrow all that yeah, I don't think it's a horrible deal, butIt's silver so for meYeah, it's a no no, is it what kind of turbos on it? Nope. He no, he doesn't want to waste any time. Oh, I see
So he's really not trying to sell it. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, probably not a mod list whatsoever
So and it was listed 28 days ago, so he's clearly not having the best load. Yeah, typical
Cool up next for me. I got a 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR
This in the description says it's an ATTKDDemo car Japan right hand driveI'm not sure I've never heard of ATTKDBut looking at the mod list. It's pretty pretty cool. It's got stock wheels on it, which is whatever
It's had all the maintenance done the highlights and modifications areATTK all-tech scuba carWhatever that means ATTKD power ours emblemATTKD air flow is I don't know what that isATTKD catch can mufflerZill adjustable suspension cooling panel all the HKS electronicsSo it's pretty cool
They're asking they were initially asking 63,000 they're down to 60 what's this thing?
It's blackBlack R33. I mean decent car. You don't see many in black. I don't feel like when you do if they're either like just
Beat to hell or really nice and I feel like this one might be a pretty nice example. Yeah
Throw some wheels on it. It'll be good
So yeah, they're asking 60,000. Let's say a couple months ago in gurney, Illinois
So I'm gonna have to look up what ATTKD isATTKD. Yeah, so I got a Ford or 32 Ford
Yeah, you doSo I got a 91 skyline GTSD so Ford or 32Over in junction city cans is listed about a month agoThis thing had way too long of a laundry list evenGet into fully built are we 20? Yeah, that's that's a commitment. It's super tech pistons, calf or cams a ton of other stuff
I think he's just trying to move on from the car. Yeah, it's white with either a carbon or a black hood. Yeah, and
Yeah, he wants to just look for trades. I guess he's just ready to switch it up
He's looking for an RX 7 super SDK anything else like thatI mean 24,000 bucks. I
Don't know it like I don't know what he has into itBut I feel like this market for these cars is closer to 20 grandYeah, I mean with a fully built engine kind of a throw up thing like it's technically newYeah, and our and our bill are be 20s kind of a throw up thing. Yeah, yeah
Maybe just get a 25 and throw a turp. I don't know, but yeah regardless
I mean if the interior is all intact and you know the the panels and everything on the exteriorLine up decent and it's not a total beater like24 is not too far off. I don't think yeah, I mean
I don't know I just figure it's me trying to inflate the GTSYeah, I hear it 100%Nice all right cool up next for me. I have a 97 Honda Integra
They're asking 14 5Was it eight days ago in Cheshire Ohio? Cheshire Cheshire
It's a DC one real JDM right-hand drive DC one160,000 kilometers single cam ZC engineSingle cam slam in the Integra we never got that privilege in the United States single cam ZC. Yeah
What did we have we had all the Integra's here came with B series IFeel like a CRX had that I think so I mean it's a it's one of those like the the JDM ZCYeah, yeah, right right rightBut yeah, I guess they put them in more things in Japan than just CRXsEverything works on this thing it's bone stock other than coilovers and a head unitPretty decent buy for 14 5 like it looks like a clean carIt may be maybe throw a K or a B in it and it'll be be a ripper for sure
It's already five speedAnd then swap candidate for sure. Yeah, but it's already got the cool front end decent. Yeah, I mean
It's hard where to put your 14,000. Yeah, you know like if like that's like kind of a
middle of the road price so it's hard toKind of choose but if you're looking for a project and you've got a case here you sitting around that's probably itRight right or if you just love the single cam and you want to slap a turbo kit on it andRun it. Why not?
Yeah, I mean if you want yeah, you definitely could yeahWhat you got next I got a 97 Honda Civic type RYeah, it's it's a right it's the got the B16 B but it was a championship white carThey changed it over to yellowThey threw on the no good racing stickers. What the hell someone get this car out of this guy's hands. Yeah
Yeah, yeah needs and needs to be saved butBasically, I mean it's got a clean Colorado title. It's got 89,000 kilometers. It was listed three days ago in Denver
It's got a cage. It's got like
Some random parts on it. Yeah, but nothing really crazy like maybe somebody tracked it or something I would assume
But they're only asking 17 grand which in this market for Civic type R isActually pretty affordable. Yeah, I mean, I assume it's the trackness in it. Yeah, I mean that in tegras
Just that's only three thousand less. I know this is a type R
I mean type R it's a type R it's seriously, but yeah, no exactly that's that's the whole thing right like for 17 grandYou're into a type R you might need to show it a little love but IMean it's a $17,000 CTR so that's over in Denver if you're feeling froggy take a leap for it. Oh, yeah
Cool man up next for me. I got a 1996
Mazda RX-7 type R. Oh
Yeah, that's right type car. This guy's asking
He's initially asking 42,000. He's down to 38 750
It was listed four months ago inChesterfield townshipMichigan sounds like he needs to drop her down to 32Sounds like it. Let's see a picture real quick
I mean it's white. It's white. It's got some it's got some mods on the outside. It's got myths mismatched wheels
He's got bbs LM's on the front and ad van SA three ours on the back, which is what it is. It's got the full borders
Body kit bumpers skirts mirrors all that new 326 power wing40,000 verified milesNot bad, but seems a little on the high end. I'm not sure you know
Not too versed on the RX-7 market, but seeing what else you can buy in that kind of price rangeIt's a little on the rough side for that price, but I think someone would buy it and rip itYeah, I mean do rotary things to it. Yeah, for sure if you go give it a prop for a cash go over and
Buy that RX-7 for sureI mean, yeah, I mean, it's if you're after an RX-7 type R. I mean, it's a pretty cool one
Cool, so I kind of I screwed up a little, but it's all right. We're still gonna run it
I got so mesmerized by the fact that this thing's ridiculously modifiedThat I didn't even notice it's left hand drive. It's actually it's in the actual 240. Yeah. Oh well, though
And so it hasI don't know what kit this isThat's the boss kit the boss kit. Yeah, and so this is this is a roller. It's the body only
You can put whatever motor you want it, but it's completely done with this wildFront end changingYeah, it makes it look kind of like a challenger or some 70s car they're making for s14s as well, and I'm notToo fond of them. Yeah, I know I just think it's wild and so
$3,000 for this roller. I mean not horrible. You know, I mean again, it's not right hand drive, but
They did have a LS in here with a t56, but I guess theyMove that on to the next project and are selling this shell. So it's a little steep. I think I mean
Depends on what the rest of the mods are I guess and if it has any suspension or like if it's caged or anything like thatIf the convertible top still works could be worth that, butYou just don't like it. I get it. Yeah. All right. Let's move on go ahead
All right, I got the 1992 Toyota sorr 2.5 GTT
listed for $16,000 this one's fresh it was listed 19 hours ago inI'm gonna butcher thisCatascolaPatascalo Patascalo Ohiofederally legal clean up title from Ohio auction grade four and I mean it kind of looks like it's prettyPretty clean looking it does have an automatic transmissionBut it also has a twin turbo one jz
umNo accident history working AC and heatIt isNot bad. That's a car. It's got bbsl limbs on it like oh, yeah, that's cool dude you do a manual swap to that thing and it'll be
Gross in the air down the highway dude. Yeah, and he will ship it at your expense. Oh, wow. So that's actually friendly guy
Yeah, that's pretty cool, but yeah, 16,000 bucks no trades and I don't really see these pop up that oftenI don't know if like they're just all gone in Japan. They've all been cut up for their engine swaps or like
What the deal is but you never see these sores really go up for sale and I don't ever think I've really even seen one while we've been in JapanYou know come to think of it. Yeah, I don't know if I have maybe one, but yeah, yeah, not really
So yeah, I mean they're probably just I don't know what the production numbers were on something like thatYeah, I know they are tanks like do the doors on those things or likeLike armored it almost looks like it's insane like they're veryHeavy well-built cars, so I don't understand where they all went. He's a sore guy
So I have a 98 Nissan Skyline GTT over out in LANormally I wouldn't have even I wouldn't even looked at this car. Yeah, but it only has 9,000 miles or 5300 kilometers
That is low that that's lower than yeah, the black cheap like we thought that one was low holy bad. We thought it was
No, sorry. It's 14 14 14 16 16 kilometers
9,000 miles that's insane. Yeah, it's got the LT a kit
Without the wing without that wing. Yes
Which is probably a good thing a few other small modifications, but overall mostly stock supposedly aGrade 4interiors in a you knowIt's had the one owner inThe US which is this guy soI mean if you're looking for a super low mileage GTTHe's telling it for the same price is what I was selling mine for yeah, I mean I feel like this is decentI'm not sure what state the title comes frombut
Yeah, I mean if you're looking for a GTT and want that like kind of a maculate9,000 mile right yeah, then that's the one to get right there holy crap man. That's crazy
Uh, uh next I got something I didn't really know existed, but this is a 1997 Nissan Saffero wagonThis is about a month ago in Zeeland, MichiganGuys asking 7,000 bucks for it. So pretty cheap to get into a right-hand drive
It is front-wheel driveHe's got coil over Zonni. He's got the profound fabulous wheels
umComes with a winter set of wheels too. Wow, which I imagine are the stock ones
That's the Jetto. Yeah, it's got 72,000 miles
Asking 7,000 bucks firmUm, I mean it's one of those things where it's likeIt's probably not the most desirable, but you could definitely make it look cool if you wanted to and if you're into wagons likeEven cooler, right? Nobody wants that thing. Nobody wants this thing honestly like I mean yeah like I get it
But I don't know right looks like an old accord wagonWhat's wrong with old accord wagons? I don't know
But uh yeah, that's that's it for that one uh, so I got a 99s 15SpeckarIt'sGut, you know, Gready turbo a downpipe manifold cams turbo elbow all that type of thing hkscc youumHe says he imported a few months ago his picture has it on an alignment raxi him probablyProbably guaranteed it's got that done and he says he had the engine bay painted gloss red which I would assume is to match the
Yeah, hopefully it'sThe actual paint right on it's some wacky stuff with engine bays on some of their color combosLikeYeah, it was like black or you know what I like or like the red sometimes the red is likeMore of a flatKind of yeah almost maroonYeah, I know what you're saying and then over time it just kind of fades and gets worseSo yeah, that's pretty cool. That's one of those things that a lot of people overlook
Um, and so this thing was listed about a month ago insentiaRelax sorry california and37,000 bucks. I mean first spec are
That is in good shape. He's not telling me what the cams are but first spec are in good shape
Yeah, I think he's around where it's at you know, I mean yeah, and it's got the full likeWhat I call the typical Japanese buildYou know, it's got the gritty probably a 20 g on it. It's got the tomeikens and
You know hk as probably the vcon or whatever soSomeone did that right in japan. Yeah, I would imagine they didn't cut corners. So I mean yeah if you're looking for an s-15
You're into red. I would definitely check this one out. Yeah, the thing sounds like a ripper
Awesome, so I have a 1993 Honda NSX. That's right
Well, that's rightCosper celebration. Yeah, this dude wants 80,000 bones for this thing listed three months ago in Louisville, Kentucky
Um, he's on that bourbon. Yeah, yeah, he is
It's a one owner clean. Oh, how's it a one owner in the us? I said
Clean title located in Jefferson, Indiana right across the bridge from Louisville, Kentucky28,000 miles no tradesNSX is almost completely stock. It's got a full titanium ARC exhaust which that's legit that probably sounds sick and a spoon tuned ECU
The add is up the cars available. So hey if you're looking for an NSX
That'll probably be up for why I mean people do put pay money. What color is it?
SilverYeah, no, people do that was on your list until then. You know for these things. I mean, he's probably more like a 72 or 68
You know, but people do pay for him. Yeah, it is an early model. What what was the first year of the NSX? You know 91. Okay, so it is
pretty early as well. Yeah, uh, so
I got the beast of all beasts. We're even gonna give this one a pass for its color. Oh wow
Yeah, for for its color. We're gonna give it a pass, you know normally wouldn't even be into it, but
the die 33Is for sale. Whoa
And if you don't know what I'm talking about umDioshihara teamed up with Gready turn 14 and top rank to create like pretty much the ultimate 400 Rreplica, you know type thing, but they threw in an hks 2.8 liter and
An air-shifted os 88 and so this thing is like top notch like there's nothing that they spared. Yeah, um, that's sick
They got the they got the 400 R parts on there. They got oles coilovers, you know, it's just
It's a it's a fully built car. They didn't miss nothing nothing at all
Um, and soThis thing is being offered for sale for $250,000 and it is located in Cyprus, CaliforniaumIt's hard because some people will be like dude 250 grand there's friggin nuts and other people are like dudeThat's worth 250 all day. Yeah, you know, so it's really hard with these type of things
howeverI don't know. Yeah, I mean die is definitely a legend and he's still in the game, which is great
I mean, this is a Gready demo car. So that's like gives it a little more
Cloud so to speak yeah, but Idon't thinkAnd this was listed by the Sean Morris. Oh, yeah, this was actually listed by Sean Morris
Wow, so that and it's some cloud. Yeah
Those are cloud on that. Yeah, it was sprinkled it right on there, but I don't know if they'll get 250 for this that's
Hard in today's market as dope as a card a dope of a car as it is. Yeah, you know, I just I think that's gonna be hard to pull when you can
Be finding some pretty nice 34 special editions and what not for 250 right it's just hard to find a buyer thereBut I hope they do yeah, I mean, it's a sick hard dude that one's turnkey and go. Yeah. Oh for sure
I remember when they built it only a year and a half ago and I meanIt's got an attention everywhere. It's been on display at Gready, you know, yeah, it was a Seema car
Yeah, you know, so it's sick for sure. Oh, yeah cool
I have a 1997 Mitsubishi Delica space gearI don't know what the space gear entails, but usually when I see these they're like jacked up and lifted and this oneSame thing wow. Yeah, it's someone's little off-road ripper
This guy's asking 23,000 dollars listed five days ago in Monroe, MichiganThis is a super rare he saysUh turbo diesel 93,000 miles liftedGot big off-road tires and wheels on it off-road bumper body. I hate when people do this
The body is fully linux so it's fully bed-linered and justOn the on the outside. I don't I don't love that, but I guess if you're you know, you got an off-road rig
Is what it is?
Interior is meant new windshield new hood new fender flares locking diffs whoalocking diffs for the space gear. Yeah
All the engine works complete crazy commuter or the perfect start to a camper vanAsking 23,000 open for tradesWow, he's even open for trades. That's pretty legit. Yeah, I mean
If you're trying to get rid of a space gear you got to be open to options, I guess right? Yeah
I mean the market for those probably is pretty smallSo he's he does kind of got to be a little more flexibleYeah, those are the ones that main actually put on the the band list when they started banding these things that wasJust the delicus. It was main is banning delicate bands. I know I know I'm never seeing that everywhere and then somehow
I don't know what's the conversation for another dayAll right, so my last one I have a1999 Nissan Skyline GTR V spec and soThis is a car that's located in Glendale, California. It was listed about a month ago and
Glendale, huh? Yeah, there's a 1807 in Glendale
That's all over. Yeah, you're good to race
and soheHe bought it to kind of flip it. It definitely needs a paint job. He said no questions about it
It can't be like corrected or polished it needs paintSo with that in mind he is offering it at 145,000 it does have 164,000 kilometers. So
todayIn the R34 marketThis is a little high even though it is a V spec if you need a full respray and you've got 164,000 kilometersYeah, I mean, I'm not saying he's super high, but he'll have this for a little bit longer becauseYou're buying a hundred and forty five thousand dollar car that needs restorationYeah, and who knows everything else right if the paintAfter 160,000 miles is like that
Then what else that's unknown, you know, that's a hard part. What are those strut towers looking like?
Right exactly. Yeah, so I mean the car looked all right overall, but yeah, I don't know
130 is probably a little bit closer to where he'd be at because if this was a base model we'd be talking105 110Yeah, soYeah, that was my last oneAwesome, well, I have one you shouldn't buy oh wait that car was base. I blew I forgot to say that. Oh, okay. Yeah, so what shouldn't we buy so
What shouldn't we buy is this 2000SaturnSW1 whatThe old male car dude right hand driver is right hand driver and it's it's got the right hand right dash and allIt's not like a conversion. It's like legit right hand drive from Saturn with the orange
Light on top. Yeah dog. You know it
Guys asking 3500 bucks listed a month ago in martin'sville, IndianaYou know, this is a male car when he says it's root readyRoot ready. Yeah, that that means all the brakes on the right side of the car replace
All that dudeThey pretty much stock. It's it's straight up a male vehicle out of magic and it's a wagon
It holds the male. I guess you could say
YeahNo longer needs it 3500 bucksWow, probably the cheapest right hand drive you can get you know, yeah, true one of the cheapest butI'm creating yeah for sure, but it's also a Saturn. It's a Saturn dude. That's crazy
Yeah, I wonder how many of those they produced I would love to get numbers onYeah, and just find some of that stuff out and why I mean I wonder if they also produce those in other countries because likeIt seems like making like a dash mold and like all these right hand drive specific interior partsWouldn't make sense unless they also had them somewhere else. Yeah, because production wise right even when it comes down to the window controls is shaped different
Side to side you know, so yeah, I mean a lot of a lot of effort goes into that. Yeah, so I would be interested to know
So that was you know 106 thePretty much the November version of the marketplace sweepHopefully we have been able to give you some insight on some cars that you didn't even realize were for saleHopefully you even find your next car off or listening to this episode.
