    Default Should i purchase?

    Ive been looking on carsales and other websites and finally i have found a nice looking ae86 levin, i just want to know is it worth the $12,500 and should there be anything i should be looking out for? i know my bit about the ae86 like most, but would like some extra advice on anything that i might miss? but please let me know if i should go ahead as this does look like a clean ae86 with some extra goodies to come with it.

    Looks like its well built. Parts list is pretty good too. Question really is do you think its worth it. Is that how you want your dream 86 to be? Personally its not to my taste but that's not relevant here. You could spend more then that building a adm to that spec. But for 12.5k I'd want a rwc thrown in the deal

    Most of the parts in there is what i had discussed on doing to the 86 and it has potential to go further, and looks wise nothing i couldn't change body kit, wheels, hood etc, the interior looks nice as well if it was going to be changed it would be taking things out rather that actually changing anything and i could discuss the rwc, but it all comes down to is if people thought 12.5k was worth it for that 86

    He means why would there be an intercooler if it's not turbo or supercharged

    you couldn't build it for that so yes but, i would rather have to spend a little more to get it the way i want it and plus, the best part is building it. Just my 2 cents.

    haha intercooler.

    i remember seeing a honda year agos with a intercooler hooked up, with an air cleaner on one side baahah.

    that ae86 doesnt look to bad, as said, if all is as nice as it says. you cant build one for that, inc buying the car.

    might find a stockish clean jdm one for around 12-13 tho.

    the fact that you are asking this means you shouldnt be buying it

    It's a pretty variable market. You see decent condition stock adm ones go for 5k, then nicely modified versions with good body work struggling to sell for 9k
