Any economist will likely respond with “a car” when asked what the worst investment one can make is. Due to their high rates of depreciation and the fact that the majority of them begin losing value as soon as they leave the dealership, cars make horrible investments. Some Japanese vehicles actually appreciate in value over time. For instance, enthusiasts who paid $34,000 for the Toyota Supra Mk4 are laughing all the way to the bank now that it is over $100,000.

1. 2015 Subaru WRX STI- $30,000
The four-door WRX STI sedan used a 2.5 liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine. The 2014 WRX STI, like the prior Impreza WRX STI models, was adored by gearheads for its blend of power and functionality, but unlike the Impreza-based WRX STIs, it was only offered as a four-door sedan. (Phentermine 37.5) When Subaru chose to separate the WRX from the Impreza in 2014, things changed.
2. 2010 Nissan GT-R – $45,000
The Nissan GT-R is the best supercar you can buy if you want one that can compete with comparably priced European options and win in every category. When the GT-R made its debut in the late 2000s, it amazed enthusiasts with its distinctive styling, incredible power, all-wheel-drive system, and affordable price. The GT-R is still among the top Japanese sports cars available more than ten years later. We advise early model years because new models can cost upwards of six figures.
3. 2017 Honda Civic Type R – $35,000
Although we adore the NSX and S2000, they aren’t as significant to Honda as the Civic has been. After selling millions of units, the Civic has been around since the early 1970s and is still going strong. Honda introduced the first Civic Type-R in the 1990s after noticing that many Civic enthusiasts desired greater power.
4. Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo – $20,000
Over the course of two generations, the 300ZX was created and about 500,000 were sold. Nissan chose to create the Z-cars series because the Datsun 240Z was such a success. Nissan chose to create the Z-car series because the 240Z was such a success.
5. Honda S2000 – $20,000
Honda felt it had to end the ’90s with a bang as well after giving them a wonderful start with the aforementioned NSX, which is why it created the S2000. In 1999, the Honda S2000 made its début as part of Honda’s 50th anniversary. A 2.0-liter inline-four with naturally aspirated combustion generates just under 250 horsepower. The S2000 engine, according to Honda, produced the most specific output of any naturally aspirated engine.
6. Toyota GR Supra – $35,000
Most gearheads will rank the Supra among their top three favourite JDM automobiles, especially the Mk4. The GR Supra will be unveiled by Toyota in 2019. The current Supra is mostly a BMW vehicle. Because of its appearance in the Fast and Furious movies, the Mk4 Supra has a cult following.
7. Datsun 240Z – $25,000
One of the most exquisite Japanese automobiles of all time was the Toyota 2000GT. But unlike the uncommon 2000GT, the 240Z was created for the general public, which explains why you can still purchase one for under $25,000. Nissan, which was then known as Datsun, felt envious and worked hard to create a worthy rival, the 240Z.
8. Acura NSX NA1/NA2 – $45,000
Prior to 1990, Honda was best recognised for producing some of the most stylish Japanese motorcycles and the Civic, a sluggish, uninteresting, and inexpensive automobile for daily commuting. In 1990, Honda unveiled the renowned NSX. Ayrton Senna, a legend of Formula One, assisted in designing the vehicle. The first-generation NSX, with pricing that are still under $50,000, is in our opinion a complete bargain. Sports Car Acura NSX from 1994
9. Mazda RX-7 FD – $35,000
In the motor business, the third-generation RX-7 is legendary. It is one of the few sports vehicles with a rotary engine ever produced. In a few years, the $35,000 price tag might be worth twice as much. We believe that the $35,000 price tag for a 30-year-old Japanese sports car is reasonable and that it may potentially increase in value to twice that much in the future. However, some gearheads may disagree. When the RX-7 FD was first shown in the early 1990s, its supple contours, recognisable pop-up headlights, and thrilling rotary engine power left a lasting impression.
10. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X – $20,000
The Lancer Evo is a 1990s-era sports sedan and rally vehicle. One of the best Japanese project cars available is the Lancer Evo. The Evo X, the tenth and final version, is still reasonably priced, but only for a limited time. All Lancer Evo models have had turbocharged inline-four engines and all-wheel drive systems since they were created to incorporate Mitsubishi’s cutting-edge race technology into production vehicles.
