Rev Your Engine and Ditch the Shinzo Abe Simulator: How to Score JDM Rides in GTA Online
You've graduated from stealing NPC Buicks and are ready to unleash your inner drift king. But where do you score the iconic JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) whips to tear around Los Santos in style? Fear not, petrolhead padawan, for this guide will have you Tokyo Drifting like a champ in no time (or at least crashing spectacularly, which is half the fun).
Hitting the Streets: Stealing Ain't Everything
Let's be honest, the first time you see a Sultan on the street, the temptation to jack it is real. But hold your digital horses, cowboy. Stealing these bad boys only lands you a measly bounty and a car covered in questionable stains – not exactly Tokyo Auto Salon material. The real trick is to hustle for your JDM fix.
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
Showroom Showdown: Legendary Motorsport and Southern San Andreas Super Autos
These fancy digital dealerships are where the cream of the crop resides. Euros (think Nissan 350Z), Elegy Retro Customs (think pimped-out Nissan Skyline), and Sultans (think tricked-out Toyota Supra) are all gleaming and ready to be customized into tyre-shredding beasts. Just be prepared to empty your digital bank account. These rides cost a small fortune, so get grinding those missions and heists.
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
Wheeler and Deal on the Cheap: Hunting Down Bargains
Look, not everyone has millions lying around (virtually, of course). Don't worry, there are ways to satisfy your JDM cravings without maxing out your credit card. Here's the lowdown:
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.

-
The OG Grind: Freemode Events Keep an eye out for Freemode Events like Vehicle Vendetta or Pursuit. Winning these often rewards you with hefty sums of GTA$, enough to snag a decent JDM starter car.
-
Flirting with Danger: Daily Objectives Completing daily objectives is a great way to earn some quick cash. Who knows, you might even stumble upon a discount for a sweet JDM ride.
-
Friend or Foe? The Repo Business This career path might be morally questionable, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. Repossessing vehicles can be a lucrative way to earn some cash for that sweet Nissan Silvia knock-off (we're looking at you, Annis Remus).
The Final Frontier: Unlocking Trade Prices
Here's where things get interesting. Rockstar, in their infinite wisdom, has hidden a system of trade prices. By completing specific tasks (like winning races or destroying certain vehicles), you can unlock these sweet discounts for certain JDM cars. A word of warning: some tasks can be real head-scratchers, so get ready to consult some online guides.
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
But wait, there's more! This is just the tip of the iceberg, my friend. The world of GTA Online JDM is vast and ever-evolving. With a little effort and some serious petrolhead spirit, you'll be cruising the streets of Los Santos in a JDM masterpiece in no time. Now get out there, grease monkey, and put the fear of God (or at least Trevor) into everyone with your drifting skills!
