Legendary cars imagine a picture of wealthy middle-aged men, with self-esteem rolling on them, nostalgic for youth. But, if the iconic cars of the 80s cost a lot, there are classic models that cost about three pairs of OFF-WHITE Jordan 1s sneakers.
We are talking about models of the 90s. While fashion “devours” all things from that period, passing them off as new items, cars of the 90s remain available, and people who can predict people can remain a significant plus. Take, for example, the BMW E30, the cost of which is growing every month. Having bought it now, you can make good money in the future or, in any case, return what you spent. So, here is a small rating of very affordable cars that have become legendary in the USA in the last decade of the 20th century. Go!

1992 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible
And again about the expensive 80s. At that time, American rappers in their lyrical compositions most often mentioned the expensive Bugatti and Lamborghini, while closer to the 90s they were replaced by the Saab 900. The best rap singer of that era, Rakim on the black Saab, represented the people, not distancing themselves from it with a luxurious life. In this he was not the only one - in the composition “Easy Back” of the New York group UltramagneticMCs there are such lines: “I bought a Saab 1990 Turbo ... front foglights, and I'm alone without any tricks, because I want it to be that way” .
Incredible, but now in the United States they can be purchased for only $ 5000. Given that the car was designed for use in frosty Scandinavian countries, they are no less durable than tanks! Hardtop looks more stylish, but convertibles are so fashionable that you can not discount them. Hurry up until the price of the Saab 900 soars to sky-high heights.

1994 Mercedes-Benz S500
The world has never seen such a car model, and perhaps never will. At the presentation of Mercedes-Benz in 1991, potential buyers saw a "monster", which marked a whole era. Its length exceeded 5 meters, the total mass was also amazing. Dashboard with Sega Recreation Gear console and NokiaP400 hanging on a gold cord. 50 Cent bought this "Merc" when it was a rising star of turnips, and Princess Diana crashed precisely in the "Five Hundred".
Of course, all these excesses looked too grotesque even for Mercedes-Benz. Later, the size of the car, as well as the internal “bells and whistles,” were reduced so that the owner did not appear to be a dictator in the parade (Kim Jong Il, the former head of North Korea, admitted over time that he had spent humanitarian aid on the purchase of an entire Mercedes-Benz squadron). Although for such cases, there was a RollsRoyce Phantom.

1991 Mazda MX-5
Inspired by British sports cars of the 60s, Mazda manufacturers decided to create their own model, from which rust will not fall off at the very first rustle, equipping it with all modern developments. Released in 1989, the MX-5 included a 1.6-liter engine with 110 horsepower. with aluminum sump and lightweight rear-wheel drive. This made it a great sports car, which immediately attracted exotic lovers in the West. If ever they produced cars of the future, then the MX-5 was among them.
While this novelty was tested in the West, another model of the Japanese concern gained great popularity in Russia. This is the Mazda RX-7, rightfully included in our rating of the most beautiful cars in the world. We highly recommend viewing it, this is one of the most popular articles on the most-beauty.ru site.

1994 Toyota Land Cruiser
Nothing can speak so eloquently about American football players of the 90s and UN employees in hot spots as the J80 Toyota Land Cruiser, produced between 1990 and 1997. This model is not as flashy as the Vary Rover, more varied than the G-Wagon released earlier than BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Toyota made an attempt to develop an SUV with all the amenities, and Land Cruiser is cool, if only because it does not want to be like that, but it really is! Originally designed for operation in any hot spot in the world and in the poorest countries, the Land Cruisers, along with the Lexus LX 450 (almost a similar car), have gone all the way to the car that all your friends in the area will envy.

1996 Lexus LS 400
Not every rapper in the early 90s was able to avoid the temptation to rhyme with “Rolex,” “Lexus,” and “Texas,” unless Biggie succeeded.
In addition to the Nissan Pathfinder, the infamous B.I.G. constantly mention the Lexus showroom in their songs. However, like most reps of the 90s. Was this part of Toyota’s ad campaign? It is possible, however, it is hard to deny the excellent work of the auto giant, whose brown plastic panels have become a true symbol of the 90s. Unfortunately, now in the States they are not as popular as before. But what about America? In our open spaces, Lexus remains the same sign of a good life.

1990 BMW E30 325i Convertible
It is a real shock that a car whose forms are considered the standard of proportionality can be purchased for less than six “pieces of Baku rubles”. An engine of 2.5 liters (153 "cubes") and 6 cylinders is one of the best creations of the Munich manufacturer, and the shape will make you fall in love with yourself even after decades. You can admire the exquisite E30 from anywhere.
But be careful, there are a lot of cars with inaccurate storage on the market, as well as after serious accidents due to a powerful rear-wheel drive, which will require serious money. According to experts, the price of the E30 325i Convertible may soon rise to the amount of $ 20-30 thousand.

1992 Subaru SVX
Subaru does not always produce cars for rally racing with roaring engines and turbocharging. By releasing SVX, the Japanese auto giant has shown that it can give the world a sports coupe combining efficiency and an attractive design. There was nothing innovative in it, because the new Subaru model was stuffed with plastic more than modern Korean subcompacts, and its engine was 230 hp. could not accelerate 100 km / h in less than 7 seconds (unheard of for Subaru slowness). Nevertheless, all-wheel drive saved the SVX in any situation. Just do not be alarmed by the windows, this is an exclusive development, albeit rather cool.
8
1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible
XJS has revived its popularity in a way that not a single forgotten show business star of the 80s could have done. He replaced the luxury model Jaguar E-Sort, and for 20 years personified himself, more like a glam rock star (not without multiple suspenders) than a swing artist of the 60s.
Over the years, the cost of the XJS has fallen utterly; today in the USA a standard coupe can be purchased for $ 1000. As for the convertible, their attractiveness is simply impossible to explain, especially considering the aging macho, driving around with an open top. Of course, the list of possible inconveniences associated with XJS is large enough to mention it here, but there are copies carefully preserved by pensioners for posterity.

1994 Alfa Romeo 164
In appearance, the Alfa Romeo 164 is a standard business class car, distinguished by high quality production. But just look at its angular forms, so rare in modern "puffy" cars. Is this matte skirt more suitable for SUVs? Add a three-liter V6 engine, which is one of the largest in the world, and you get a unique car at a very high price.
10
1992 Cadillac Allante
In the USA, Cadillac Allante can be found in a dump of abandoned cars or bought for a “penny”, rummaging through ads. People live! This attitude to the car is especially surprising, given its initial cost of $ 64,000, which at that time exceeded the price of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. Nowadays, Cadillac Allante is not even close to Merc, but under the cracked paint you can find something more.
The body of this model was produced in the Italian studio Pininfarina, where chassis made in Detroit were delivered on a special Boeing. The car was stuffed with the latest technology, including a “smart” suspension that changes stiffness depending on speed and the first retractable radio antenna.
The problem is that the design did not particularly take root, but still he got his fans who prefer the square shapes, popular in Italy in the 80s and 90s, combined with American filling.
11
1994 Ford Mustang
This model came out between the first and second waves of Mustang popularity. The fourth generation included the dogma of the model of the early 50's, inheriting its appearance with wheels too small and the original Maori pattern in the back. It is especially pleasing that this model lends itself well to tuning and is most prone to growth in price. For example, the third-generation Mustang will now cost from 20 to 30 thousand dollars.
12
1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500
In an effort to offer customers a new model to replace the aging R107, the manufacturers of the R129 Mercedes-Benz SL were quite decisive. As in the case of the S-class, they were ready to do anything to prove Mercedes's superiority in the automotive industry. At the same time, the auto giant from Stuttgart did not take into account the increasing popularity of lightweight bodies for sports cars, making the SL500 rather heavy, moreover, increasing its weight in the process of developing later models. But still SL, this is a style that will not be the same - completely different more attractive pieces will appear. But if you want a rare car that describes the era of the 90s, it is in front of you!

1992 Volkswagen Corrado G60
German cars of the 80s and 90s have gone from unloved cars with minimal changes at every reissue, to iconic models that embody “progress through technology” (just try to challenge)! Are they a kind of modern bitcoin, the value of which is growing before our eyes? Ask the owner of the Corrado, who sold his car with a mileage of more than 41,000 miles for 50 thousand dollars.
Launched in production Corrado, was conceived as a direct competitor to Opel Calibra in the European market. Steady, with good sporting performance, complete with excellent aerodynamics and an attractive design, the Corrado was met quite critically, and the car only came to real recognition. It attracts with its VR6 engine, installed in a later version. Although it is also worth paying attention to the initial engine of 158 hp. G60
Despite its high popularity, you can still find Corrado at an affordable price, but you should be careful to avoid buying a “crumpled” car with damaged VR6. You don’t want to get big chores for little money?
