I really don't understand the Japanese used car market. On one hand you can't touch a MkIV Supra for less than $50k, but you could get something that is cooler, more unique, and more Japanese for much less money. Plus you get gull wing doors and mid engine power. Find this 1993 Autozam AZ-1 offered for $16,500 in Olympia, WA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
It constantly amazes me that people buy brand new cars from auto dealers that litter the planet. I understand that some people really love the new car smell and want something that won't strand them on the side of the road...but why anyone would buy a new Smart ForTwo for $15k when you can get an Autozam AZ-1 is like paying to eat rat poison when you can get free pumpkin pie. People are weird. Find this 1993 Autozam AZ-1 Turbo offered for $16,500 in Sarasota, FL via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
I love a good American hamburger...in fact, I had a juicy medium-rare 6 oz sirloin burger topped with bacon, cheddar cheese and avocado for lunch today...it was meaty and quite filling. But there are times when you want something a bit less of a smack to the gut...more like a thinly sliced and grilled piece of Japanese wagyu beef. This next car isn't gonna keep up with a Dodge Challenger at the track or best an $65,000 Fox body (whooooyaaaaa...still perplexed by that one!) at an autocross, BUT it'll be a rare treat of simple preasures in an age where more beef isn't always the answer.

Back in the go-go 80's, Japan's economy and its car makers were flying high. Established automakers introduced new brands to the home islands. Mazda introduced the Autozam brand, mainly to sell Kei cars. Find this 1991 Autozam (Mazda) Scrum Truck for sale in Clackamas, OR for $5,800 via craigslist.
