The Best JDM Cars On FB Marketplace June 2024 - EP.81

Welcome back to the right hand drive guys podcast the podcast for guys who like right hand drives as always on BobbyThis is Aaron. Yeah, yeah, and this is episode 81 and we're back for this month, which is June

2024 episode of the marketplace suite. Let's go. So

If you're new here, what we do is we each take a region in the United States andwe search marketplace for what we believe is the bestJDM or right hand drive cars available currently in those regionsBut next month we're actually going to try to change it up. We're gonna

search through Japan auctions andyou know anything that we can find for cars for sale in Japan. Yep, and

We're going to go ahead and just spit those to youGive marketplace a break for a month try something different. Maybe you'll find a car that somebody like Trevor can help you in

Bored. Oh, yeah, that'd be dope. All right. Cool. So I did the Midwest pretty much

You know from Colorado to Missouri, you know, Texas. I think I had one from Nashville, but

What'd you do?

Well, I started with New York. Yep, but then I

Saw that a couple of Canadian cities were pretty close by so IExpanded the range to include Ontario and Toronto and OttawaAnd so it would let you do that. Yeah, it would let you see Canada. Yeah, dude surprisingly. I was like oh

Oh, yeah, Canada is just right over there. Yeah, and somewhat localish to us, you know closer than you know whatever a drive to

It's closer to Canada than CaliforniaThat's for sure so all right coolYou want to start it off this month go ahead. Yeah, so also one thing to remember about Canada's they don't have a 25 year

Law they have a 15 a 15 so if you're a hot boy, you know, you can find a deal on a car and I mean you can store it inCanada just like you can in the States so with some of these cars that's like I feel like somethingYeah, you might have you might have a few few good ones in there because there are guys that have 34sSitting in Japan. I'm sorry sitting in Canada just like they would have in Japan, right?

So you know just waiting for 25 years boom. It's a lot closer to ship it from Canada than it is Japan

Right, right and also another thing about Canada. I think a lot of these prices are gonna be in Canadian

So one thing to remember about that is like one dollar Canadian is roughly like35 cents here. Yeah, so a 30 thousand dollar Canadian is like 20 thousand

Yes, roughly so when it's any prices keep that in mind. There is a conversion rate there

So single that first one I got up for sale is a2001 skyline GT special editionI don't know what makes it special edition. I don't I haven't really heard of that but then again

Haven't seen a lot of the newer like a 2001 R34. Yeah, for sure

You know what I mean? So this one says directly the

imported from Japan registered in Ontario lots of new parts fresh paint job dude. It does have like

That candy like it isFor you know an RB 20 car. Yeah, he's asking 25,000 Canadian so that's like whatever

17 something like that. Yeah somewhere around that yeah and listen to data go and Niagara falls on Ontario. So that's like literally

Right over the border right over the border. So I mean, yeah, that's a good deal

But again, you're waiting till 2026 to be able to bring that over right at 1617 grandWhat I mean new paint suite, but like what is that really add up to for that car? Yeah, true and what can you get it in Japan right now for so

You know that if that's hard right it's one of those things because of the storage like this is different than what we normally do normallyThere isn't the type of car where like it's a newer car than what you can even haveBut it's like just over the border to where you get away, you knowSo that'll be interesting to hear here the rest of what you got so my first one from San Antonio, Texas is a1996 Honda Civic hatchback1.4 I mean, it's a you know EK3 hatchback. Yeah, and

Of course, it's got that 96 front end, but it is59,000 kilometers so not much. Yeah, I mean, it's it's clean for sure like it's a it's a clean

Yeah, yeah, you know base model car, right?

So it would be great for a case swap with you knowCertain parts I can imagine you know Honda guys putting on here some interior work for 11 grand he wantsSo that's like I saw remember like two months ago. There was that one for 10k that was like super like

Yeah, it would low low miles soHe listed this about a day ago, so I don't know. I'll be interested to see

How this goes for him and if he lowers that down to more like9500 you know 10,000 like and he'll probably find a solid buyer. Yeah, yeah for sure

Pretty cool pretty cool to see like I don't know even the base models trickling into the statesOh for sure. Yeah, because it's like they've run out of like

coolYeah, for sure. Go ahead cool next up from me. I got a 2001 another 2001

Nissan Silvia, so it's an S15He's asking $25,000 in Toronto, OntarioFirst word of the description says drift missileBut I mean it kind of brings up a good point if you're also looking for a car that you want to go drive immediately like2001 Silvia you don't have to worry about registering that if you're just gonna turn it into your track car or whatever it might beYeah, so right because you can still have it here as an off-road vehicle

Right like just like you could bomb around whatever in your backyard, right? So you can you can bring it in like you go to go through the border

They're not gonna not let you bring it right as long as you have proper sale paperwork right rightYou can you can bring it so but then why are people storing it?

Why would you ever store it?

Maybe to get the import paperwork or somethingMaybe one of our listeners. Yeah, yeah, hit us up if you know anything about we obviously haven't gotten a car from Canada

We don't know nothing about Canada. We're speculating. I never even thought about it until

Just now we're speculating but maybe you can't have it in AmericaEven if you're not registering it right like I meanLegality it has to be de-registered in Canada or something or yeah, so let us know about thatBut so he is this a spec are yeah, it's a spec aresix-speed manual transmissionScott turbo manifoldbunch of HKS electronicsJust the typical drift mods like oh, yeah, okay. Yeah

25,000 Canadian and you know, that's 18,000 bucks. So like that's decent for a spec are but again

These aren't body panels that are clean and straight so to speak they've been worked on this thing's probably been rippedYou know, it's got a cage in it and all that so it'sYeah, it's probably seen some shit, you know and sand soBut still not a bad not a bad buy if you're looking to get into a turnkey type car. What it's how long ago

This was listed about a day ago. Jeez. That's right. I know that's what I'm saying these are like kind of hot

So I have a 98Stagia 25 T RS with the V arrow packageumGuy imported it last falluh, it's got100,000 miles so whatever 100 and whatever thousand kilometers. Um, he imported it he says

But he has other things he wants to pursueumAnd yeah, I mean he's gotSome like nismo maximum. I don't know what he's got on here for wheels. What are those off from?

I don't even know those are those are just g 35 will g 35. Yeah, they're not even named nismo. They just stickers

Um, yeah, but so this thing is in merfreesboro soYou know right down the road from Nashville. It was listed

25 days agoHe says everything works. It's a great running car. So this does have the um

The RB 25 in itAnd he's asking 19 grandSo I mean fair price. I think you know, not like a crazy good deal, but definitely he's not on crack or nothing

So um, yeah, maybe we'll see him at ia if he hasn't sold it by thenNice. Yeah, go ahead. Cool next step for me uh

This one. I don't even know what to think of this is a Subaru sandbar

The sunbar. Yeah, but however

bathing ape vanDude, it's got the bathing ape wrap on it and alsoDoesn't show in this picture, but it's got the uhVolkswagen like old school like bus front end. Oh wow. So it's like it doesn't look like a sandbar pretty much

Yeah, and the whole interior and everything has been done on this thing. It is it's a show car for sure

You know, I mean, how much does it want for that dude?

5000 Canadian I imagine, but it's one of those things whereYou know, it's been completely gone through it's been well maintainedYou know, it's it's one of those things you're not gonna see another one like it, but right you're paying that price for itOh for sure like a bathing ape I guess that's yeah, it's you're into that flex for sureYeahThat's cool though. I love to see the unique ones that you know people put their personal touches on yeah, yeah, and

The the front end on those that's pretty cool like the it may it changes the whole look. Yeah, yeah, look how much glasses on that thing like the glass

Already with those like the whole thing is glass for yeah, it looks like it's crazyYeah, that's what we've done have a date on it, but I imagine they still got in that way. Where was it looking?

UhDoesn't say on the post. Huh. Yeah, weird one. Oh, no, I'm sorry Ontario on terror or Toronto whatever that all means

I knowSo I have listed six days ago down in Houston, H townWe got a 96 Honda OdysseyNiceRight-hand drive of course168,000 kilometers andSee all will drive ohIt's the all will drive and I mean, I just thought this was dope if you got a family

It's got the window visors. It's got like the ground effects kit, you know, and um

These I believe have the B20 or something in them and so they run forever usuallysoThat is at 11.5 right now listed again six days ago so

If you need like a family whip and you want to still live the right-hand drive lifestyleOdyssey works dude it does and actually on that note the next one up for me is a 2007 Honda OdysseyI know it kind of crazy and it's listed for 11,000 Canadian which isNot much 7500 bucks and then like it's got a that front end that peopleOh, that's dope. Yeah, they made a body kit back in the day that people would use those on the S13 Soviets. Yeah

So always always visualize that whenever I see those so immediately think it's cool. This one's on T37s

What that's cheap for that oneYeah, I mean it's compared to what I just show you yeah, and it's got a K247 cedarIt's got all the apple play and all that dude. What year was that nine and oh seven

What yeah, that's not legalHow's that word dude? I don't know but they got it like who's pulling over a

Honda Odyssey minivan andThat's so true dude that thing is sick on some t37s if you're not on YouTubeYeah, you should check it out because that's actually a dealI mean, I don't know like we said if he hasThat registered some way somehow but for 9000 oh, no mine that's 15 years for them. Yeah, so I forget it's in Canada

I'm not used to that so in like dude what's cool about their vans is like they have regular backdoors like they don't haveSliding goofy looking door that likeHow the kills the look of it. Yeah, like they just got normal doors, and it's just a bit. They're just huge ass doors

Pretty cool though listed 20 days ago someone go pick it up. Oh

Up in Canada or someone store it for the next like seven years. Yeah

100% yeahSo all right, we're heavy on the Honda's right now. I have listed a day ago in San Antonio and 95

DBA type RUm, it's got pretty high kilometers at 268,000 butIt's still got you know, it's AC power steering ABS has got all that's mostly stockYeah, and he is asking 16 995So I mean, he's in price. Yeah, I mean

It was the first year. I know there is it's not even in 95 it's in 96. He's got that wrong

Anyways, it's in 96 first year. So it's got the four by one 14 and seven you know same one I had just

Probably needs a little more love than that one did yeah, you know at 268,000 kilometers. Yeah, um

boomCool next up. I got a 2005 Toyota crown estate

Big boy wagonYeah, I mean the Toyota crowns are pretty cool. It's a Toyota big body. So like what's not to love right

Uh, this one's listed for15,000 Canadian listed 24 days ago in TorontoUm, yeah, it's got a 2jz in it. No shit

No shitBut a 2jz fsc. I don't know what the fsc is. I haven't heard of that mean neither not you know super big up on the Toyota's but

Uh, this car is very good condition with rare leather seats zero rust no mechanical issuesFeel free to come on check it out. This is the final year as well. Wow, and is it on wheels or anything like that or is it just uh

stockYeah, it's on some like I don't know what kind of wheels they are, but they're like full face it kind of reminds you of likeType or shape. Yeah, sweet dad dad wagon. Yeah, yeah, it's got a roof rack like dude. It's got a cool wing on it

Is that real world driver? Yeah, real drive. Yeah, so

That's cool. Uh, pretty cool car especially for the price, you know roughly

What around 10k 10k? I mean, yeah, if you're right. I mean, this is that's a good entry level type thing

But that's Canadian again. What year was it?

No, five so you still got some dude you still got some dangerous waters with those thingsWe're gonna have guys knocking down doors thinking they can pick these cars up right now. I mean they can they can

Store you gotta figure something out, you know whether but likeYes, I don't know. Yeah, I'd like to see what the Japanese prices are on these cars right now and then compare storage fees

Just see how does thisAdd up right right, you know because I feel like maybe the cars are a little cheaper in Japan right now than likeWhat these guys are still kind of pan-retail-ish like North American prices right like as opposed to like actuallyYeah, I mean, I feel like some of them are low, but I imagine the skyline which I'm sure I'll get to soonThe skylines and you know those premium type cars are still pulling thatAmerican premium. Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean, yeah, but they're already legal other than the 34s. Yeah

That's true. All right, so

Listed two months ago in Alan, Texas. I have a 94 Toyota Supra. This is NA

It is red andYou know, it's titled it was imported in 2023runs great18 inch wheels whatever, butHe's asking 39Not very pretty much. He's asking 40 grand. He was asking 44 or 5 and

He's not selling it. So he's not it's not selling for that

So what is the what is it gonna sell for because it's not in like bag condition or anything right, you know like it'sA nice car interestingThe miles he didn't list it was kind of weird. I'm like dude you gotta list some miles if you're asking 40 grand. That's probably half your problem, but

Even so that means that he's gonna have to take less. I think he's probably gonna end up settling at 36 or 35 or yeah, maybe

I don't know these kind of are likeThe red hand drive super market history especially NA, you know, so he's asking likeLeft hand drive prices. Oh, yeah, that's a that's a wild thing like props to you super guys for completely making this one car

Two separate things based on where the steering wheel is atPretty wellBut yeah in Alan, Texas. He's asking 40 grand go talk him down a bit. Oh, yeah, talk him talk some sense into him

Cool up for me. I got a

1990 Nissan Skyline GTS type T hold onType M M pole 532sOh, yeah, I lost say that five times seriouslyListed for 36,500 which you know roughly is you know 26,000 and some change I thinkNot a bad looking car. It's extremely well

Well preserved and rareImple car attaches the photos from magazines for an impolCar was a grade fourIt's got the original arrow. It's got a mind's ECU

It's still you know GTSD at the end of the daySo like 26k for a nice GTSD isn't so bad. I don't think yeah, no, I don't think so either so

But yeah pretty cool car. Let me see. Let me see. Bam. Oh, that's cool. It's still got the little graphics and yeah, yeah, yeah

That's cool and I mean it just looks period correct. It's got like a different wing obviously different arrows

Yeah, yeah, that's it. I think it's totally cool goodbye right there

So speaking in GTSD's I have a 92 32 GTSTListed about a month ago in Texas. It's got the RB20

It's got149,000 kilometers, so not crazy. Yeah, man

And it's whiteYou know the four door and he's asking 16 grand. It was a sit-about a month ago. He still has it

You know at this pointSo I feel like this could be a good buy for somebody if you can go up to the student get him to do 14 five even 15 like yeah for150,000 kilometer GTSD that's not bad at all. There is what's up what's up with it? Yeah

He doesn't yeah, he doesn't mention anything but umI mean, yeah, I would at least hit him up if you're looking for a four door becauseThis is a great beginning as long as yeah the trunk's not rusted out or somethingCrazy like that. Yeah, yeah, awesome. What do you got cool? I got a 1999 Toyota Chaser

Listed four months ago and waterloo, Ontario40,000 bucks roughly 30,000 Americanum, I mean looks pretty cool. Yeah, it does looks like a typical. Yeah, like one of those street chaser

Yeah, yeah, and it's a 99 so that'sJust barely yeah, yeah, that's legal. Wow nice. We got a legal

Yeah, it's got a bunch of mods to it, but I mean, it's the typical price 30,000I feel like it's the going rate for this is yeah, but likeCanada's closer than California for some peopleSo that's 30,000 Canadian this is 30,000 American for a thousand CanadianDangSo like I said typical price, but those aren't cheap huh? No

Then they've been rising I feel like and just to take a how many of those were justSo cheap water up and justDisposable at one point like an episode dude. There was those were literally just how the yeah

So I recently sold the car behind us. It's just waiting for transport

I sold it on marketplace andI personally was asking 26 I came down to 24 and sold it for a tiny bit less, butthis guy hasNot the same car by any means, but he has an s14 with the ssr20The car has 82,000 miles. It's a

Kookie conversion. I'm like pretty sure it's it's got to be for sure, but it doesn't tell

That's part of the thing like he he doesn't really tell too much. So

It doesn't have heater the AC and it has a small rust pot. Oh in the trunk

And it is currently unregisteredBut it's only 15 grandThat's cheap. Yeah, that's what I'm saying like so that's real cheap

It's not registeredAnd it's 15 grand. I'm like is there no paperwork on this right? What's the deal with this so

But at 15 grand with an sr20 and like not a destroyed car like the cars in good conditionIt looks it looks you know, it's gotten after market hood and from bumper side skirts on that yeahIt's all one color for 15 grand. I feel like this might be a steel depending on what the real scoop is with it

OhAwesome next up for me. I got a 1991

Nissan 180 sx with the Sylvia front-end got the salady action going. Oh, that's sick. Yeah

UmIt's asking 29,000 bucks. Uh listed about a month ago and

I'm not even going to attempt to say where that's from ohYeahYeah, this is one of those French CanadiansDon't know a word they're saying here, but if I had to guessIt's got five log 30 millimeter overfenders in the front 15 the backum break headlightsBunch of other French stuffDamnYou forgot about that one should have hit translate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

But 29,000 bucks is roughly like 20,000 US, but that's like a decent deal. I mean, it's not it's not cheap

But it's a little under the going right out imagine for a car that clean. Yeah, so I mean, yeah, some of these Canadian

Dries might like pan out, you know likeYeah, it's it's one of those things once you start dealing with a whole different country that do things differently andYou know, it's our neighbor to the north, but like they're still their own countryI was thinking about her like they're still like this different country. Yeah, yeah

You know, so got the wrong thing going on. Oh for sure. Yeah, and you don't necessarily understand it all

Yeah, they're French. They're French literally some of them

So I got just like my girl in the back over here. I got a 95 Nissan Skyline GTR V spec

In the color that mine originally was the silver. It's my original car, right? That's pretty cool looking. Yeah

Something about a stock 33 GTR. Yeah, I don't know dude. That's just like

Cool. It's just cool. This stock car. Yeah, yeah, for sure from 95. Yeah, yeah, for sure

And so it was listed six days ago in Henderson, Nevada and the owner claims that it's a virgin modification for GTRVery clean in and outside and under the carNo corrosion imported last year. Cut a make room for an incoming R34 of course he does

And he's asking 49,000 and I feel like that's not bad. I mean

These guys are not listing what the actual likemileage is at these vehicles right in their description. So I don't know, but I would assume this clean and what not

It can't be crazy, right? So you can find a

33s for good deals. Yeah, I'm in the GTR market like yeah 33 right you can do the 34 get a 33 they're free and say yeah like still same thing. Yeah

Technically, I mean what underneath whatUnderneath like a lot of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah

So I mean, yeah, I think this is a good deal. I got mine for quite a bit less, but it was also before all of all of this so

I think that this is a good deal as long as it's not over180,000 kilometers, which I highly doubtBut yeah, go get that V-Spec baby go get itCool, I got a 1990 Toyota Supra GTRWhich these I mean, I don't know man. I either love or hate these MK3. Yeah, yeah

I mean that one's kind of cool. Yeah, but other ones dude, they're just like they just look

It's like those third gen Camaro's or whatever dude. It's just like

They're just always beat and justNot it dude. This one's clean though. Um, they're asking 28,000

It's got 164,000 kilometers. It's got a one JZ GTE. So that's cool. It's freshly rebuilt. So that thing rips

It's got a bunch of supporting mods andSo it's a little ripper. It's just maybe not most not the most desirable car right right

100% I mean it looks super cool likeIf you're into these this is probably the oneYeah, that yeah, I like the black wheels with the blue paint. Yeah, if you're not on YouTube check it out. It's it's cool

So we're we're gonna wrap this one up. We got one more here. This is the last one last one. Are you ready? Let's go

In castle rock Colorado, which if you're not familiar with ColoradoIt's right in between Denver and Colorado Springs and that somebody I don't know who it isBut they have a 93 Honda prelude SI coupeMy right hand drive obviouslyUm, and it's got that H 22 hammer. Yeah, so um, you know, these are these are cool cars. I always thought the pre-lose were like pretty sweet

um, andThis one seems to be really cleanIt does have a hundred and ninety eight thousand kilometers, so it is on the higher mileage sideBut it is a Honda and if the body's clean just maintain the motor you'll probably be goodSo he did list it five days ago. He seems to be in somewhat of a hurry because he's already dropped the price once

He's down to ten thousand right nowI'm assuming he probably take eighty five hundred if he a cash maybe nine whateverUmBut yeah, I mean he's out there in Colorado with the black preludeumSo yeah guys, I mean if there is any of these that you're interested in definitely presume we try to give you as much info as possibleSo that you can go ahead and make a decent decision or at least go check out the ad

Um, but for episode 81 the June marketplace sweepI'm bobby. This is Aaron. See ya peace
