So apparently back in 1990 some cars were sent back from the future. Now you can own one of less than 16,000 Toyota Seras produced. Built between 1990-95 solely for the JDM.

This one looks pretty good for being a quarter of a century old and although it does run/drive needs some attention mechanically. For $1,500 it's seems Ok, not sure if it'll be worth anything in the near future. BUT CHECKOUT THOSE GULLWINGS!!

It's in Australia, but being 25 yrs old is obviously now eligible for import in the states. If that's your thing.

I'd love to own some funky JDM car one of these days.

Yeah they are cool. I grew up seeing shit loads of JDM cars that at the time weren't considered that cool. A bit like how Korean cars are viewed now I suppose. It's funny how time changes your view on things. There is a paddock(field) not far from me with a few 70's cars parked in it. A lot of those are JDM stuff including at least a couple of RX-4/929's

Oh, a Sera! I used to frequently see one in just this colour and I had the opportunity to buy a blue one. Which I decided against.

I haven't seen one in years and I guess the tinworm has been busy.

Same applies to the Honda Beat, Suzuki Cappuccino and so on - they're all gone.

There were a couple of them around where I lived about 15 years ago and occasionally I still see them on the road. The body on this one looks good as far as rust and in general really.

I saw a Cappuccino not long ago that was pretty nice. Never saw many around when they were new here though.

That car is so so cool! it looks like something you'd see at an early 90's autoshow, as a concept! what engine does it came with? imagine that thing with a 3Sgte and AWD, futuristic look, turbo swoosh and power to justify its looks.

god, what happened to toyota :(

Trust me, if I could I would :(

At this point, I dont even have money for a scooter, living in a 3rd world country kind of sucks, and to think my first car could've been a Blacktop 20v swapped toyota starlet.

Well, it used to be kind of nice. Im not giving you all the details, because well, every country has its problems and all that.

Just a summary, more than 300% of inflation, highest crime rate in the american continent, dodgy government and scarcity of everything. yes even toilet paper is hard to come by.

on the other hand, it has beautiful natural places, so there's that.

Nature Rocks! (Dumb pun, kind of)
