When you’re scrolling through your local classifieds and you spot a Japanese gem, the last thing you’ll have to worry about is reliability or build quality. But how much speed does Japan have to offer for less than $10,000 on the used car market? That’s this week’s eBay Challenge.
Here are the rules:
- One entry per post.
- Cars must have a realistic selling price under $10,000.
- Cars must be operable/easily restored to running condition.
- Completed and sold listings can be included.
- You can add modifications, as long as it doesn’t go over the total budget.
- Write a short reason why your car is the fastest Japanese car for less than $10,000.
Start here and find a car that embodies the phrase “VTEC just kicked in, yo”.
