      @@bdnr24 depends on what you want, but 15-20k for cars that have been dogged and have tons of rust but they're japanese is crazy. 15-20k for a *NICE* example is worth it in my opinion and not a bad price. You don't need to be a pro to know what a nice Silvia, cefiro, chaser, or whatever looks like, look for no rust, nice paint, straight pinch welds, stock looking engine bays or a well modified engine that doesn't look like a rat lived in it. If you're looking for just a race car I'd say look at something in the US like a 240sx or Miata, 350z, 370z, G sedans, these are all cars you can get for a rebuilt title for like 5k and probably will still run pretty well, then you can put another 5k in suspension components or what have you.
      Google whatever are common problems with whatever chassis you're looking for (Example: s13's rust a lot in the engine bay, frame rails, and trunk area, SR20's are also not happy with tons of abuse and low maintenance)

      @@bdnr24 Unfortunately what a good price is and what the price your willing to pay for your dream JDM car are two different things.
      A good price is anything below 20k if it's turbo manual. But you could justify spending more if the millage is low and body looks rust free.
      Having said that, there is trade offs like:
      1) Buy everything you want in one go and no do any work = higher price(25-35k) and less stress.
      2) Buy cheaper and mod it overtime. But when you factor the cost of a new body kit and paint, it will probably equal to option 1
      3) Buy an auto. They are 60% cheaper than most manuals. You can do the conversion yourself and buy a chaser engine (1j turbo) and gearbox (r154) ain't cheap. So again, prob will cost near the same as option 1.
      There is no right answer really.

      The market will correct itself eventually. This car culture has been created by the working class, so hopefully it will come back down so working class people can afford them. I know very few people who can spend 30k on what essentially is a project car

These cars don’t seem like they’re priced that good for anyone who’s looking to get into drifting.. Not everyone is rich enough to blow 15-20k on a car to then build it and drift it on top of normal life expenses. Just seems like a lot for a car that’s gonna get thrashed and you don’t daily drive etc.

    So much headaches to import one when u can buy one locally ans see it in person and judge for ur self if it worth buying.
