Yeah, yeah looking for the deals. Yeah, so if you're new here basically

We look through marketplace. We use the search term RHD

We look in different regionsThis week I did pretty much from Louisiana straight up to Chicago like this centralCentral America there. What did you do? I did

My search point was just south of Vegas just south of VegasYeah, and it included lost Vegas a little bit of LA a little bit of Phoenix, Tijuana TijuanaThat's cool. So

We'll just kind of go back and forth and and kind of rip the deals that we found and see if we canHelp somebody find their next deal hopefully hey if you if you do hereLet's talk about a car and you buy it like hit us upWe'd love to know that we actually connected somebody with something somewhere. Yeah, that'd be sweet

Oh, yeah, all right. You go first. What you go cool. So first up for me. Let's see. I got a 97

Lancer evolution for EVO foEVO 4Clean titleFive speed low miles. They said don't have a specific this is like one of the worst ads

I think I've seen oh nice, but it's a cool looking carHas a bit of paint fade. He's asking 24,500

24/5 for the EVO 4 with some paint fade, but it's running running and driving says whereI'm sorry, where did you say this one was this is in Claremont, CaliforniaClaremont, CaliforniaYeah, I mean it looks like it definitely has potential and those are definitely pretty cool carsOh for sure. You know they all will drive 4G 6 3. Yeah, they rip we saw we saw one auntie

Motorsports museum at Fuji. Yeah, yeah, we did yeah

So did it say how long ago that was listed about a month ago. Yeah, I saw a few of those

soAll right cool. I got a 97 97 accurate integral. It's not accurate Honda and Tegra

Type R and soThis one is the two door, but it's got the five lug as it's a 97 niceAnd it's got 129,000 miles on it or215,000 kilometers. That's decent. It looks to be an all right shape. It doesn't look you know

It I don't know it doesn't look amazing, but it doesn't look horrible. Right. He's got it listed for 26,000

Which I mean it does have a little higher kilometers, but I have seen these going for 30 to 30233, you know just depending so right you might have a deal here, but I'd probably definitely want to check it out in person andThat's in little rock, ArkansasDecent about a month ago as well, man, dummy those those cars are they've kind of like chilled out on priceI feel like yeah, I mean, I'm sure it's it's you know, yeah everything kind of is besides like I'm sure they'll slowly start climbing

Once you know as time goes on hopefullyAll right, what's your second one so my next one up? I got a 94 S 14 Sylvia the 94 S 14

Yeah, man this thingIt's probably seen better daysThey're asking $16,000 for it that that should be tell tell signs sounds like a little too cheapIt's got an SR 20 DET. It's got a mild build on it a clean title

But it's got the typical S chassis mismatch panelDennyed quarter panelBeat up drift a look so it's seen seen a few corners. Right right

But 16 grand has a decent looking SR in itTo that's that's all right if you look at it out there for a river. Yeah, why not right?

I slide it around a bit. Yeah, some skitties. Yeah, why not? Yeah, I mean right you got to think some of these cars

We're not we're not just picking show cars, you know or like you know saidSome people need an affordable vehicle that they can just sling around and not worry about yeahso I found a93Toyota SupraOhTurbo turbo and this is in spring, Texas listed about 12 days agoSo it it has on it's on the lower end of mileage it does have a bunch of upgrades like ETS intercooler piping

Single big turbo, but65k these things are alwaysYeah, just 50 plus no matter what if it has it's herbo. Yeah, I mean, it's original turbo

But it is right hand driving I will be excited eventually to have a super guy on the podcast and talk aboutWhy the right hand drive prices are lower than the left hand drive prices and like why there's that likeKind of disconnect between the two cars when it is weird. Yeah, you know, Mazda RX-7s. It's not like that right? Yeah, so

Down in spring Texas this thing silver. It's got some some beefy rear tires on it. I mean, I'm sure it holds

It looks like a Supra. Yeah, it does it looks exactly like a super typical Supra right there. It's got the big wing

Yeah, that's it. I mean, but it seems to be in good condition

So if if you're in the market then hit him up. Yeah

Up next for me. I got another

Evo 4 this one's a 96 okay, so this one is white the other one was silverThis one was on this 11 days ago, so I'm sure it's still available don't don't hit him up asking if it's still availableOkay, cuz if it's up. It's yeah

Got it right and I'm CaliforniasoIt's definitely out there on the west coast I meanLooks like an evil to me 25k25k yeah, it seems to be the going rate okaySo so cuz I have one coming up to so I'll be interested to see if there's a thirdWhat's the reason yeah people got him over here and then they're like oh it's it's aMitsubishiMitsubishi GSX whatever right it's like I mean they're sweet and they can be sweet

But if you're expecting this monster out the gate. It's not a monster out the gate

Like you have to build it you have to you know put a bigger turbo on thereIt's got a small littleSnail right right getting at the 20g. Yeah, the big boy

So I got down in Dallas. I got a 93 Mazda speed azy one

With the going doorsYou see the one Liberty walked in remember that one from autosalon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean

Yeah, so this one though. It's got the hood scoobens. It's the typical azy one, but

This one had like a super low cams. I don't have it here

But I know that cuz I was like why 25 grand and the cams are super low it looks cleanIt looks like they're probably pretty low on it. So I'm not huge into these

But you really don't see JDM right hand drive cars withGoing doors all the time right right and I know they were little rippers too. Yeah for their size

Yeah, that and the there was a Suzuki version as well. Yeah, so weird collaboration there. Yeah, that is it

I mean, I guess I can see it Mazda SuzukiSo yeahDown in Dallas, the list of 14 days ago for 25 granddecent, dudewellUp next for me. I got a 1997 Mitsubishi

Jero evolution rally art nice dude if you don't know about these look them up because I mean for I guess a small SUVIt's literally a homologation special for a Dakar rally truckSo yeah, it kind of looks it. Yeah, dude. So these things are beast. I don't know what exactly what type of engine is in it

But I do know it's a V6 3.5

So yeah, they're for years. This one specifically

It is a 97 97. It's only got 86,000 original miles

Title no problemThose things probably ride like a dump truck though dude, you know if they'reLike that they short wheelbase and like it's probably like dude. I mean they look sick though

They have like a full arrow package. Oh, yeah, this one's got some huge tires and wheels dude 39,000 though price dropped from

45 which is wild if you think about it. That's cool that some

Bridges are coming down though because some stuff was unrealist. Yeah, these things are cool

Yeah, I wouldn't mind having one of these for no reason. Yeah

Like if you had some land and you could like take it out around or I don't know just park itI mean, I don't know if this is like top 10 on my list. Yeah, probably top 100 even probably top 100

It's somewhere on the list of the that's what we should do top 100 right hand drive carsThat we would take in order. Yeah, that would be a list

But we got time in the future. So

All right, so the Pichero evolution where just that was Gilbert Arizona Gilbert ArizonaI got a Gilbert how long ago about a monthYeah, seeSo some people do actually like keep up with that because they don't want the messages right and other people just ignore the people messaging themDon't take them off. So it's hard to trust, you know

andThat but we do Facebook because it's easily accessible to most people and and you can search pretty easily and it's kind of taken overWhen it comes to marketplace websites because of its integration with Facebook. Yeah, so I don't think any like

I haven't been on Craigslist in years. What is that exactly? Yeah, yeah

Back page was that where I used to find my card. No way

So I got a 94 Honda Acti I figured I'd throw in the mini truckDude guys, you know, this is down in Houston andIt was listed two months ago. I do notice that he did a price drop from 7500 to 7000

Yeah, I mean because the prices on these have come down quite a bit because the supply because the guys like this are now way higherYeah, I mean these guys are just throwing a bunch of money ship andThen thinking they're gonna flip them real quick, but I think they're starting to kind of realize like oh wowMaybe we we did a little too much here, you know, yeah, dude, and there's no lack of those in JapanNo, there isn't yeah, there's there's a ton. Yeah, believe it or not. Yeah

Mark our buddy mark. He just sent me one earlier. That's a 2023 and like it's literally the same exact concept

But with like smoother, you know betterYeah, yeah, so yeahSo yeah, I mean this is down in Houston. It's a 94

And I mean yeah, if you're looking for one you you can probably find one no matter where you are100% what do you go cool up next? I have a

1989 Mazda MX-5Ueno's Roadster so pretty much pretty much a meada roadster whateverThis went particularly I hate I do I love me audis me audisGreat they have their own place like they're great, right? But this one in particular hate it. It's got a

Rare pit crew racing front and rear end with rare polished bumpers. So it's right dude look at this thing

That's a face only a mother could love do it. It

It changes the whole front end of the thing to look kind of like a old Porsche or something or yeah like a Shelby Cobra likeStreet like yeah, I see that you know what I mean one of like the AC cobras I guess it was andIt changes the back to look like even more disgustingYeah, it is it is so ridiculous and like it's got a goofy looking smile in theYeah, throw this thing away dude. Well, how much is that dude 12,000?

12,000 bucks, which is a deal? You know you do that you through the

You throw the front end in the rear end in the trash andKeep it moving dude. That's a decent deal for me. I'da yeah, I mean, I don't know I don't know what they go for but

For that thing 12 grand. I don't know if I'm right and it's an 89. I didn't even know they I don't think we got a meata in the states

Till like night early 90s, right? Right like 91 maybe 90. I'm not sure maybe 89

Yeah, not a monster me out of guy myself, but yeah, this car. It's Riverside, California

Buy it. They're the front end away. I think you're all set rip it

So I found a33 GTR and 95And so this guy has 92,000 kilometers or 57,000 miles with a clean title and a whole list of parts he's got on there. He's got

You know the Nismo I don't remember which model this is but he's got the Nismo I think it's like the S-Tunethat S-Tune yeahandYou know a few other things on this carHe's asking 46 75 for it and it doesn't show that he's like reduce the price at allSo he came out of the gate with the 46 75 the interior isn't aMacculid or anything he must have got that pre-COVID yeah, but yeah, that's how it seems because I mean this is a decent deal for

Under 100,000 kilometers. Yeah, I mean again, it needs a little bit of love

But if you're looking for a 33 GTR and you like the white, I mean I would maybe look into scooping this seeing if you can get him down to44 or somethingWas listed two months ago in bowling broke Illinois so I don't know if he still has it or notBut if you're looking he does someone needs to jump on that. Yeah, yeah, that's what I was thinking

Yeah, so up next I have a96 Toyota Chaser coming out of Las Vegas, NevadaHe's asking 19 5 for it, but the detailsGot me a little confusedIt's it's got a one J one JZ in aAutomatic and it's all will driveSo it's an all will drive automatic JZ X100interesting and

The ad says it's got 10,000 in mods which I don't really see it's just got you know a body kit some coilovers someKnock off wheels and you know some maintenance items, but I don't see 10k there. Yeah a lot of times people's receipts add up a little quicker than they yeah

They think you know, I mean the paint looks cool. It's got like a midnight purplish looking

Paint job going on, but I mean it's an automatic all-wheel drive chaserSo if I mean if you can't even get you're right if you can't slide your chaser dude. What are you doing with it?

Yeah, can't can drift an old drive like that not like that not all-wheel drive in itYeah, but I mean if you need a snow beaterThere it is that you're that's your thing right there 20kSo and where did you say that was as right out of Vegas Vegas? How long ago?

Round a month ago month ago. Sorry. No, no, no, no three days ago. So that's fresh

SoThree days ago dang yeah, that's yeah, you can get that like right now probably yeah for sureSpeaking about getting it right now we got a red 34Ford or two TT. Yeah, that's my buddies. That's your buddies

Yeah, out in no Fallon, Missouri. Yep nice dude. That's a nice car. It looks like a nice car

I mean, it's price like it's a nice car. It is yeah, definitely

Lista he's listed about a month ago37.5 and it's got

24,000 miles so it probably is a nice car. Yeah, for sure

I mean it's definitely got the low cams. It's got a you know full kit on it. Yeah, I mean looks made it's

Definitely a nice car and I'm pretty sure it's got leather too. Oh, wow. Yeah, now you can kind of see it. Yeah dang so

Yeah, I mean hit this guy up if you're one of those guys looking for the Ford or34 I'd assume that the motors done up just by the way it looks I think it's got the basicIntercooler and yeah, I mean probably keeps it clean. Yeah, just by the way everything looks. It's it's a nice car

So hit him up. He listed a month ago. Yeah nice car

Oh, yeahAll rightScroll back to mineAll right, let's see I got a 91 Honda beat the beat the beat dude this thingNot gonna lie. It looks a little beat

It's an fallbrook, CaliforniaFallbrook, California. Yeah, was it 11 days ago?

They're asking $6,000 for it for the beat for the beatI mean, which is a little highYeah, I guess they got like a they got wheelsThey got like a goofy looking front splitters and knards which nice whatever it probably look better if he's through those awayTrack months. Yeah, it's got a no good racing sticker on the side. Oh, okay. I mean that might be worth the buy who knows who on that right?

No goodBut yeah, it's a $6,000 beat these cars. I mean, I've seen them usually go around this price usually around the $5,000 mark is where I see him for a

decent one butI don't know you never see him like totally done up. Yeah anything beyond that

No, and I when we got back from the Japan the first time after a weck fest. Yeah, we

When we saw those I like went deep into trying to figure it out on like how to get one. Yeah, what I could do to it and to be honest like

It's notIt's not that easy to get parts form like there's not much out there so like anything they made they made a long time longThis continued right? Yeah, and so you'll find a glimpse of something like a turbo kit or something

But then it's always dead ends, you know, so I quickly lost interest in the beatsYeah, yeah, it seems like I'd be a lot of custom work and yeah, which could be cool if you had the time right right skills, right?

So I got a I found aWhite 32 I was I was looking at Skylines. I can't lie, but I found a white 32 and

It's not for me. I I would like a white 32 because it would kind of complete what I got going on

But this one isn't for me, but it's definitely for someoneIt's it's a 90 it was listed about a month ago in wheeling Illinois and it's got a single turbo and the guy says it has aG-Max twin clutch and it runs and drives great nowThe mileage he didn't list which I was kind of surprised kind ofBut it is 36 9 and again listed about a month ago. I don't know if that has any room. I mean

It seems to be an alright shape. He says he will take trades. Yeah

But I don't know for it something seems a littleLittle off to me with the car so I'm I maybe would skip it and wait for the next oneBut he's impressive. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. It's worth mentioning here because yeah

If somebody doesn't care about the drive line the you know whole motor whatever like they're just looking for something that they're gonnaDeep dive into yeah, you're cuz there wasn't there was a little bit of that surface rust underneath rightBut it wasn't all rusted out and so maybe it's worth, you know, yeah, I mean this is like the bottom of theYeah, bottom of the wrong for the 32 GT or a GTR in general right?

I don't think you're gonna get much cheaper than that. No way

I mean not running driving right right like thatI mean brings me to my next oneThis guy and good year, Arizona. He has a 92

92 skyline 32 GTRHe's asking 25,000 for it andIt looks like it wasn't a nice car according to him it caught on fire when he was doing something with the fuel pumpSo it has a little bit of burn, but all the fire was put outWhatever it it started to get repaired it seemed like but still a little burn marks on the sideHe has everything to fix the rest of itBut there's also a little bit of rust

Not bad, but definitely repairable, but not something that you want if you want that perfect carBut 25,000 bucks gets you into a 32 GTRThat's the same you know small amount of work to put into it, I guess so 25K your GTR owner now. Yeah, wow that's not bad

That's got to put in some work. Yeah, yeah, I might have some burn marks. Yeah, you got some pain issues

But I mean that's minor you got a GTR son. Yeah, 32 GTR 25K. Where was that good year?

Arizona. Oh, okay and listed how long ago?

Six days ago, so that's fresh and I've seen him share it on a few groups. I did see that I remember

us talking about it like dang. Yeah, that would be

SureSo I'm gonna continue on with your Mitsubishi Lancer evolutionTrend so I got a 96 which is still the fourThis guy brought it back with him from the military. It's a rally sport

I'm not sure what rally sport has to do with itI'm not sure if that's different accessories whatever the case may be butHe has it listed like it's a rally sport compared to the other ones. I mean you had 2526

Yeah, this is 30 30. Yeah, it doesn't do it. Yeah, I mean and it looks clean. It seems nice

You know if it was his personal car and he didn't just go over there to like snatch it then it could be a great dealHe listed it 19 days ago in Springfield, Illinois and it's yeah, I mean, it's the wicked white like it's it's a nice looking carsoMaybe out of all of them. This is just the best quality

Yeah, I don't remember I didn't see yours, but um definitely looks to be quality so yeahEvil five four four it's a four. It's a four. It's a foul

Cool up next for me. I got a this one's questionable

I don't know if I should be this should be on the show or not. Wow, so it's a Nissan Skyline 92

Well, howeverLeft-hand drive what in the world right? What the thing? So I guess in the they

In countries like Dubai or the UAE in a few others you have to have it's by law you have to have a left-hand drive carSo people would buy these cars modify them to left-hand drive in which like the interior this thing it looksFlulless from what you can from what you can see in the picture that looks flawless so like whatever companies converting these cars they must haveThey're thing down with the dash. Well, I don't I don't even know how the you would

Re-shape it or cut it in half and remold it to another sideThat's crazy. I don't even know, but hey, it's done and it looks legit

This car particularly it has a full GTR front-endminus the hood andActually a full GTR kit. I guess it's got the skirts the rebomper the

Wing and all that. It's a hundred percent rust-free. It's got some

Quote new BC racing shocks and new good-year Eagle sportsSo someone's grandfather owns this car. Yeah, so it sounds yeah

It's got an in-a RB 25 which they those did come in the later R32sIn-a's R325 so pretty decent. It's not the RB 20 right it is automatic

But guys askingFricking GTR money for it dude. He's asking 45,000 holy moly dude

I do send it back to the buy last yearGet out of here like you it's like literally nothing that anyone that wants a skylineLike they don't want in a yeah, they don't want an automatic they sure as hell don't want left hand driveThis is the worst skylight ever yeah, like 45,000It is it is somebody's grandfather or somebody just inherited it and is thinking that they justHad to come up dude. I don't know but it's an LA. So okay, Jay if you're out there Jay make sure he doesn't have GTR badges

Yeah, go check that thing outSo I got another skyline skyline heavy I got a skyline episodeYes, so I love the Niva episode. I just know that Aaron wants one of these so I kept seeing him

So maybe I was like you know sub subliminally, you know putting the seed to where he's gonna show up with oneBut I got a 98 GTT photo another photoand this guy's driven at 66,000 miles andIMean it's pretty clean. I mean the wheels. I don't know. It's it's like that navy blue color

I don't know. Yeah, what that actual color is

Montelo was constant this guy listed it six days ago and I mean it's a pretty clean car the interior was cleanYou know just stock intercoolers talk turbo, you know the whole deal, but a great base for somebody for sure. Yeah, 100%

Yeah, what you gotCool last one for me believe it or not it's another skyline. Wow and

This particular one. It's an R34 GT

Just like about like what you just had except it's not a non-turbo. Okay

It's in Lahabra, California posted 10 days ago and it's actually a 99 so this is like aFreshly wow. Yeah, fresh first fresh. Just coming in. Yeah, so

Quick flipping dip. This guy did. Oh, yeah, and it's got an RB 25 DE

Which like non-turbo again, but it's got the five speed manual so that's good and I've actually heard of a lot of people taking theNA RB 25s andEspecially the Nios and putting turbo kits on them and they rip just like the regular 25 wood they'll spin tired guy do they willYeah, it's like a it's like a budget thing that I've seen a lot of people start doing like I mean seen a lot of Australians do it as wellSo and they they've had these cars for much longer than we have so they got something figured out. Yeah, oh, yeah, so

But pretty low mileage 31,000 milescouple modslegit being sports kit andThat's pretty decent. Yeah, somebody put some love into it, right?

Yeah, I mean he's asking 32,000 which is little on the high end for being in a yeah, you know sayBut he's got a bunch of other work into it so right so turbo kit on it singable to rip$40,000 all day how long ago did you say that was listening 10 days ago so pretty recently this thing's probably still availablesoFor my last one to conclude the episode I have a 92 Suzuki cappuccinoYes, cappuccino, so I don't really love these but no you do and no, I see that twinkly

No, I when you look at itIt's like ugly, but what caught my about this one is that it isSainly clean like it has the hard top. It has the OEM white Mazda speed wheels

It's first not Mazda speed it the whatever the Suzuki one wasYeah, I'm getting my my meadas and cappuccinosBut but it has like this is a key wheels and soIt's I mean it's pretty legit you can tell whoever had this like really took care of it. Yeah, it looks mint

And the guy who like has it imported it in himself in December of 22 so he kept it for well over a year before even tried to sell itWhich tells you he probably got it for himselfSo it probably is clean it says it has ceramic coatingRight, so someone cared about it. Yeah, exactly. So these are the ones that I would buy because those are the type of things I do and I know I give a shit about the car

So I'm hoping that guy does too rightSo this was listed two months ago over in Omaha Nebraska. Yeah, he might still have it

He might yeah, he's asking 1434 it especially for that ticket. Yeah, I mean I

Get it to him. It's worth it to him. It's it's if it's a $15,000 car to him. Yeah, but

to the general like consumer base in this industry or this area of cars. Yeah, no like that area

Nebraska specifically. Yeah, I don't know what the JDM scene is out there, but I can't imagine it's kind of like main right?

Yeah, I mean you couldn't sell this here for that. I mean maybe

Maybe just because somebody would want to ride the coast and it's some somebody from mass that has a summer house and yeahUp in the Hava. Yeah, yeah in the Hava. Yeah, so anyways

These are the cars we got for you. We did about 10 each and hopefully there was something in there that you can pursue

We try to give you the info so you can get in Facebook marketplace in those areas find itMassage room. Don't do the highest available. Yeah, nothing pisses these guys off more than that you can tell

Now they will not respond to it. They say so dude it is crazy

But yeah for you know episode 54 the January marketplace sweetI'm Bobby, this is Aaron.

See ya, peace.
