Aftermarket Cars Guide — Finding Discounted Modified Cars

Beginner 5 min read Updated 2026-05-19

What Are Aftermarket Cars?

Aftermarket Cars are pre-modified vehicles found parked on roadsides across Japan. They're a new feature for FH6 and offer significant savings.

Key Benefits

  • Always cheaper than Autoshow prices
  • Already upgraded with performance parts
  • Unique visual modifications not available in upgrade shop

How the System Works

  1. Random spawns at roadside locations
  2. "For Sale" marker above them
  3. Limited time — despawns after a while
  4. New spawns triggered by driving new roads
  5. One-time purchase — won't reappear once bought

Where to Find Them

Hotspots

Location Notes
Tokyo City streets Highest spawn density
Rural Hokubu roads More off-road builds
Coastal Ito highways Sports cars common
Ohtani festival area Mixed vehicle types

Tips

  • Drive roads you haven't visited, spawns favor less-traveled areas
  • Check highway rest stops and parking lots
  • Night driving in Tokyo — seems to increase rare spawns
  • Use Drone Mode to scout from above

Price Comparison

Method Price Upgrades?
Autoshow 100% No
Aftermarket ~60-80% Yes (varies)
Auction House Variable No

Example: A 500,000 Cr car in Autoshow might appear for 300,000-400,000 Cr as an Aftermarket Car with 50,000+ Cr worth of upgrades.


Best to Watch For

Type Why
Sports cars (Porsche, BMW) High-value upgrades
JDM classics (Silvia, RX-7) Rare body kits included
Off-road builds (Ford, Jeep) Expensive suspension pre-installed
Hypercars (Ferrari, Lamborghini) Rarest, biggest savings

Aftermarket vs. Auction House

Factor Aftermarket Auction House
Price Discounted, fixed Variable, bidding wars
Condition Already upgraded Stock
Risk None Scams possible

Pro Tips

  • Buy aftermarket for daily drivers — save credits
  • Check Car Mastery trees before buying unique aftermarket cars
  • Don't ignore common builds — hidden upgrade gems
