They’re super lightweight, compact, and, most importantly, rear-wheel drive. To be polite, we call it “momentum car.” But everyone who has ever owned one can’t stop talking about how fun they are to drive. Ever since its inception in 1989, the Miata has been punching above its weight class. Let’s be honest, they don’t build them like they used to. Speaking of disappearing, have you noticed that after years and years of Youtubers telling people to buy a Miata, there just aren’t any left? So, if you can find a clean NA, you should jump on it. Or, at the very least, you’ll break even. They’re going up and up. At least you know that if you keep it clean, keep it stock, and keep the miles down, in a few years, that sucker’s going to make you some money. Sure, that’s a lot of money, but just look at the price trends for these in the last few years. If your treasure map does lead to a clean FD RX-7, expect to fork over $40,000 for the pleasure. What makes them especially valuable now, though, is that they’re kind of rare. The FD had a pretty short run here in the States and only about 13,000 of them ever graced our streets, meaning that finding a clean, unmodified FD today is like finding the Holy Grail. You can import them now from Japan where they had a longer production run, but that’s a whole thing and likely won’t save you much money. This car looks as stunning today as it did 30 years ago. But none of them have aged quite like the RX-7. The R32, 300ZX, NSX, Supra, and even the 3000GT are all amazing cars.
What makes the FD generation of the RX-7 truly special, though, is how it looks. Look, ’90s JDM cars are great. Yes, the 13B is one angry beaver of an engine, screaming up to a wild 8,000-RPM redline, sucking up air through two turbos, and pushing out plenty of torque and horses to move this lightweight sports car through your favorite local canyon.
But tame the wild Dorito and you’ll be rewarded with one of the best songs ever sung. I still don’t exactly understand how they work and they’re not the most reliable. I mean, what is there to say about the FD RX-7 that hasn’t already been said. And they definitely don’t make them like they used to. Or, in the case of this first car, it’s simply because it may be one of the most beautiful cars ever designed.
#90S JDM CARS MOVIE#
See, some cars become more desirable with age, mostly because they start to get rare as people abuse and crash them, or because some movie comes along and propels them to fame. Or, even better than a supercar, you could a Skyline GT-R or something. Most cars will lose money.īut, we have this thing called the Ideal Car Strategies that’s all about maximizing your return while leveling up to a supercar. Let’s be honest, cars are not investments 99% of the time. That’s right today, I have 8 great JDM masterpieces that you can buy today that might make you money (if you don’t crash them, that is). And, as it turns out, they may also be a really good investment. And so do you. Don’t even try to lie we know that you can’t go 30 seconds without talking about a Supra, WRX, or RX-7. We talk a lot about the golden age of JDM.
