Now, let’s get into it! ⚡

CAROLINA CLEAN

1987 Toyota Celica GT-S

~188,000 miles, manual, fwd, 4 cylinder, hatchback, pop-up headlights

$4,500 / Winston-Salem, NC

This car is beautiful. It's 37 years old and looks better than most newer cars I see.

SUNNY CIVIC

1975 Honda Civic

~72,000 miles, manual, fwd, 4 cylinder, hatchback

$4,000 / Morro Bay, CA

Another very nice example of a first-generation Civic. This one isn't currently running, as it has been sitting for 9 years.

PRE SVX

1989 Subaru xt6

~158,000 miles, automatic, awd, 6 cylinder, pop-up headlights

$4,500 / Schoolcraft, MI

The predecessor to the SVX. This is the first car Subaru put a flat 6-cylinder engine into.

TURBROKEN

1986 Nissan 300zx Turbo

~108,005 miles, manual, rwd, 6 cylinder, hatchback, turbo

$850 / Gibsonville, NC

This car needs someone to get it back on the road. You're not likely to find one cheaper. Actually looks really nice, just very dirty.

YOTA CRUISER - OVERBUDGET

1988 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62

~201,533 miles, automatic, 4wd, 6 cylinder

$6,000 / Waynesburg, PA

Most of the body looks solid. Could have a few rust spots fixed and fresh paint. Has new parts.

➡️ If you buy a car listed in Good Deal Garage & email us a picture of yourself with the car, we’ll feature you in the newsletter PLUS send you something special in return!

NISSAN NUGGET

1989 Nissan Pao

~150,000 miles, no engine, no transmission, hatchback

$2,900 / Orlando, FL

Not sure why the owner pulled the engine and transmission but this shell would make for a great project car.

ROUGH ROCKY

1990 Daihatsu Rocky

~124,000 miles, manual, 4wd, 4 cylinder

$2,800 / Beaverton, OR

Is this Rocky perfect? Absolutely not. But that's what would make it such a fun car to take offroad and thrash around.

BLUE-RITO

1983 Mazda RX-7

~138,566 miles, manual, rwd, rotary

$3,600 / Ottumwa, IA

I'm not sure why this RX-7 hasn't sold yet. With a bit of love, this would be an awesome car.

HIGH MILE MERC

1990 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC

~302,000 miles, automatic, rwd, 8 cylinder

$4,995 / Alameda, CA

The mileage is high, but this car has been maintained its whole life. Great opportunity to get a v8 German Luxury car.
