MICRO TURBO - OVERBUDGET

1996 Mitsubishi Pajero Mini Turbo

~38,000 miles, manual, turbo, rhd

$6,500 / Lancaster, MA

It may only make 64 horsepower, but it also weighs less than 2k pounds. This is a beautiful imported Japanese mini SUV.

DENTED DORITO

1985 Mazda RX-7

~195,000 miles, manual, rwd, rotary

$3,300 / Coupeville, WA

I don't know about you, but "going fast" and "shooting flames" gets me excited. A good PDR guy could help with the dent.

BLUE BRIT

1970 Triumph GT6

~64,885 miles, manual, 6 cylinder, rwd

$5,000 / Carrolltown, PA

I see the convertible versions for sale and driving around where I live pretty often but the hard top is incredible.

RAINBOW WHEEL COVER

1988 Nissan 300zx

~283,000 miles, manual, 6 cylinder, rwd, t-tops

$4,500 / Fuquay-Varina, NC

You'd never guess this car has almost 300k miles by looking at it. The only issue I see is that steering wheel cover.

ROLLA (WEST) COASTER - OVERBUDGET

1988 Toyota Corolla GTS

~220,000 miles, manual, 4 cylinder, fwd, pop-up headlights

$6,000 / West LA, CA

This was the last generation of the really cool Corollas. I question the price, but he might make a deal.

FADER RAIDER

1987 Dodge Raider

unknown miles, automatic, 4 cylinder, 4wd

$4,000 / Farina, IL

In 1987, Car and Driver magazine referred to the Raider as a "Japanese Bronco," which makes sense considering it’s a rebadged Mitsubishi.

HATCHLESS BACK

1985 Nissan Pulsar

~124,808 miles, manual, 4 cylinder, t-tops

$4,850 / Largo, FL

Did you know the hatch on these was removable? I didn't. This is a super clean example of a Nissan Pulsar.

Best Tools to Inspect a Used Car

OBD II Code Reader: quickly decipher check engine codes.
