did anybody else see the add for that 93 jdm fd for sale?

"THIS CAR IS FADED DUE TO THE HEAT IN JAPAN SO THEREFORE NEEDS A NEW PAINT JOB"

this shit cracks me up, the paint is faded because some asshat in japan wrapped the car around a pole, then they fixed it and gave it a shitty pant job.




THIS is why there is so much hate for JDM cars

the majority of them are lumps of shit


ie. 1990jdm whatever, 30,000 original kms

why is the seat, steering wheel and pedals completely worn to shit?? oh thats the heat in japan that does that, not because the odo MAY have been rolled back a few hundred thousand kms

lol

i mean in their defence they probably don't know what to expect when they open their containers full of cars

but seriously lol

sweet, it hit a JDM pole!! I'll buy it!!

That car is like six shades of red in different areas.

Jeez, and here I thought it was UV that ruined paint, not heat! Guess I know better now, Thanks jdmtuners!

Ok I can accept that. Let's see the car was at the front of the barge, the barge ran aground and the car slid into the wall? Or did the Japanese rats on the ship start eating it?

For the benefit of the doubt for the seller some factory paints have bad histories of fading, clear coat problems and other defects. Sherwood Green G78P (Honda), and Milano Red R81P (Honda) are ones that come to mind right now.

This is actually pretty common on FD's, it's 15 year old paint, what do you expect? Parking is expensive in Japan, not everyone can afford to park in the shade. What other car would you rather drive for $6700 in our market? Most of the haters on this site drive newish cars that cost nowhere near what these cars are selling for. Yes, your 200x model car is nicer than my 20 year old car, good for you.

unfortunatly for you two, i was in autobody for a number of years and KNOW that the car were talking about is an old shit repaint job

Not that. That is abuse or a shit job. My car is older then that and is no where near that bad.

Alright I give the seller kudos for actually trying and admitting there is a problem with the paint.

I just think the seller went too far in reaching for excuses. Could I do better, probably not so I will edit some of my statements as I was unfair.


That said ... Japan really isn't that hot, TOKYO average temperatures.

BTW the paint on my 19 year old car - 1989 Corolls(5 years older than the one being referenced, with over 200,000 kilometers (double the one being referenced)driven in Heat, cold and salt, much like the one above, is in WAY better condition.

The paint on my 22 year old car 1986 Supra (7 years older than the one being referenced )with over 300,000 kilometers (triple the one being referenced) daily driven up until last week - in Heat, cold and salt, much like the one being referenced, is in slightly better condition than the car in the pic.

JDM weight reduction, don't knock it.

My ex-girlfriend grew up in New Zealand and she said she's been on the ferry when the Japanese cars were coming across and would actually watch the guys rolling back the odometers on the boat. She said you'd never find one that wasn't messed with so this doesn't surprise me.

These are the cars that make me face palm for buying and FD a few years ago.
