Rad '80s/'90s Cars You Should Buy Now!

I’m once again spending way too much time looking for rad cars from the '80s and '90s that I want to buy! In this video I take a look at 6 vehicles that I love, from the wedge shaped Isuzu Impulse, to the odd looking Nissan NX2000, to the mostly forgotten Chrysler Laser. And we see if we can find any for sale in the US. Come join me!

Which rad car from the '80s or '90s would you want in your garage?

[nolarobert]

I needed a cheap car in the late 90s and found a high-mileage Isuzu Impulse for $500. I loved how it looked and it appeared to be in good condition. I convinced myself that I could take this Impulse back to Warp speed but it just wasn't meant to be. I took the Impulse to a mechanic who gave me a laundry list of issues the engine had that would cost a few thousand dollars to repair. I didn't have the money so I junked it. The lesson here is never to buy an Impulse on impulse.

Back in the late 80s/early 90s a guy at my church had a first gen Impulse. I loved that car.

That VW Fox with quad headlights had BMW 5-series headlights and marker lights stuck on it somehow

[smartkid]

Even thought I grew up in the 90's, I've always had a soft spot for the Mitsubishi/Chrysler Starion/Conquests twins. They(87-89) still look good today.

I still have my 1990 VW Corrado G60 supercharged! Love it!!!

[nobodynothing]

Anyone buying a Laser has a project on their hands regardless

[hectorae]

Yes, I have lusted after the Isuzu for quite a while.... Love that thing

[davidsherrick]

My 1988 Alfa Romeo Milano just got back from the shop! It's definitely rad!

[raymonwhite]

Had a gen 1 Impulse and loved it. It was fun in the curves and just looked different.
Miss that car all the time.

[Kerleem]

Oh man, an awesome trip down memory lane with some of these! Nice video!

[mjrtensepian]

That white nx2000 in WA was in my FB saved list for a minute. Neat car, great European-y stying.

[danielarias]

I have a 1992 Fox! Not running but thanks for the inspiration to get it back up

[Lon]

So many unique cars and especially a lot of "sportscar-inspired" sporty coupes that were fun to drive and be seen in. I miss my Fiero and wish I had somewhere I could have just kept it to tinker on and drive once in awhile. An ex GF had a little Pulsar NX SE that was fantastic.

I love these videos when you search for survivors for sale today. Some very interesting choices here!

[sanman]

The issue with most of these is going to be finding parts. Curious to hear about that as I feel that is the biggest challenge with Radwood era cars.

[SilverFox_Home]

The VW Fox 2-door wagon was a fantastic car. I drove a 5-speed one as an auto-parts delivery car back in the very early 1990s, great fun.

[donaldclary]

I graduated college in 1993 and immediately bought a 1993 Nissan NX1600, brand new, with a 5-speed manual... for $9, 995. I LOVED the t-tops!

In 2012, I bought a Pearl White 1992 Allante - GREAT car!

[newerafrican]

A good friend of mine was instrumental in high speed testing the Allante in Germany. We visited them in 1991and got to drive one for a few days in southern Bavaria. Was cruising for a few minutes at 
about 120 mph (250 kph) on an open section of the autobahn until my wife protested (we had 2 little ones at home staying with grandma), so I slowed down to about 90mph. Definitely a capable car. I think the one we drove had the Northstar V-8. Quite an experience!

[ThriftMachine]

Look into the Mitsubishi Starion Chrysler Conquest before they are put of reach, they are exploding in value lately
