All good things must come to an end, right? Well the same goes for cars - they can’t go on forever. We are highlighting some goodies you might want to get your hands on before they are gone for good!

Chevrolet Avalanche:  It’s possible that GM will release a 2013 version of this SUV-pick-up truck combination, but it will certainly be the last model year we will see. For the truck’s many loyal buyers, this is bad news. The Avalanche is the only vehicle of its kind, uniquely combining a 4-door SUV with a truck bed.  

Mitsubishi Eclipse: The Eclipse has been in production for more than 20 years, but it’s time is coming to a close. This sweet little car has seen better days in sales, partially due to consumer demand for a true rear-wheel drive sports car. Have you been eyeing one of these bad boys? Time to take the plunge before it’s too late!

Dodge Caliber: As Dodge rolls out the new Dodge Dart, they are doing away with the Caliber to make room. The Caliber’s sales have been less than satisfactory for the automaker, but the car certainly has some features worth a second look. An available all-wheel drive, the unique body style, and cargo area make the Caliber a practical car you can feel good about driving around town. Grab one before its too late… and if you miss out, try the Dart on for size!

Lexus HS 250: Looking for something a little more high-end that you might be able to catch a good deal on? The HS 250 might be for you. This is an upscale sedan that certainly doesn’t lack in style or features. Lexus will be replacing this model with the ES 300h, just in case you miss your opportunity to get the HS 250 before it’s gone!

Mazda CX-7: The CX-7 is another unique car we are not ready to see go. With an interior much like a minivan and an aerodynamic exterior more like an SUV, it’s the perfect combination of practical and stylish.

Don’t let some potentially great deals on these cars pass you by. Get looking before these cars are in your rearview!

With “Fast Five” currently tearing up the box office and the franchise grossing over one billion dollars, one can credit this to the backbone of the franchise, its cars. There have been many fast cars modified for racing in these movies from the Mitsubishi Eclipse RS-T 420A driven by Paul Walker in the opening of the series to the 2011 Dodge Challenger driven by Vin Diesel in the end of the “Fast Five”. From all those cars, these are CarLocate’s top five cars from the Fast and the Furious franchise.

5. 1967 Ford Mustang: Seen in “Tokyo Drift”, during the down mountain race between Sean and DK, this old fashion American muscle car came with a foreign twist as it was sporting a straight-six engine from a 2001 Nissan Skyline RB26.

4. 2011 Dodge Charger: In “Fast Five”, two modified Chargers pulled a massive vault down the streets of Rio de Janeiro. Is this possible? Probably not, but this car’s 5.7L Hemi V8 is pushing out 370 hp at 5250 rpm which makes this the car to try it with.

3.  Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R: Paul Walker drives this car at the beginning of “Fast and Furious 4” in a qualifying race to see who gets to work for the crime lord, Braga. Walker additionally races an older Skyline model in “2Fast 2Furious”, and a Skyline engine is used in the ‘67 Mustang in “Tokyo Drift” putting the Skyline’s fingerprints all over the franchise. The R34 GT-R is nicknamed “Godzilla”, for its racing dominance and origin of its manufacturer, putting out 328hp at 6,400rpm.

2. Toyota Supra Mark IV: First seen a scrapped hulk in the beginning of “The Fast and the Furious”, it is rebuilt and modified to its full glory. The most defining scene for this car is its race vs. Vin Diesel’s 1970 Charger in which it runs a quarter mile to beat out a train at a crossing. When purchased stock, the turbocharged version of the Supra put out 320hp at 5600 rpms with a quarter mile time of 13.3 seconds.

1. 1970 Dodge Charger: This monster of a car was once the car of Dom Torretto’s (Diesel) father and was passed down after his death. Said to have clocked a 9 second quarter mile in “The Fast and the Furious”, this car is seen in the first, fourth, and fifth movies. While many of these were used in the film, one of the actual cars possessed a Supercharged Chrysler 426 Hemi V-8 which allowed it get 425 hp at 5000 rpms, giving it plenty of muscle to give the Supra a run for its money.

While there are many classics and modern-day cars yet to be featured in this series, it will definitely be interesting to see what might be hitting the silver screen next!
