why is this trueno worth so much???

[slider4life]

hi guys im in the market to purchase a trueno i have stumbled across this really mint black one that i like he is saying its one in 400 ever made etc. what sets them apart from other truenos, im only asking as i dont know what the diffrences are.

here is a link to the car im looking at regards shaun

its a black limited.
it was a limited run in 87 before the AE92 took over. it sets apart the car from a regular trueno becuase:
1) factory black paint
2) unique gold and silver 14" wheels
3) specific gold striping and badges
4) specific interior trim

there was no performance upgrades it was all cosmetic upgrades. basically a last hurrah for the AE86 before the end of an era.

[Richard]

Because its a black limited. Very clean car and yes ther wernt many made but thers not much difference really stock vs stock it had a different interior, wheels and i think some suspension goodies. its more a collectors item now. as most 86's these days shit on them. so buy it and keep it garaged

[Richard]

damnit Adam i was typin that in then u beat me

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

32k for a hachi... collectors item or not... pass

[Javal]

$5k for the fucking plates ?!?!?!?

[ae71]

for that price i would want it 100% stock then park it in a museum.

[LittleRedSpirit]

Looks like half the original limited parts have been swapped out anyhow.

Not original enough to fetch big coin.

[djscheppy]

one was on carsales months ago for 20k.

pass on this.

[Richard]

if i had the money id buy it then source all original parts for it

[Kid Karola]

It's a little overpriced even for a Black Limited in my opinion because it is not concourse condition i.e. doesn't have original wheels, interior (steering wheel, gear shift), seats door cards are same as GT-Apex but Black Limited has "Apex" embroided in gold and orange guages in instrument cluster too. You would need to check VIN chassis code and build plate to confirm it is BL from colour trim etc. There was 400 made so would likely be number XXX/400 somewhere too.
Sure it has a few good bits fitted SSR's, TRD bits and bobs and fairly low km's just under 100,000km but a nice kouki truneo with same parts would be around half the asking price. I'd value it at no more than $20,000 as it is and that is being generous!

There is a mint Black Limited (http://www.carland86.com/list/view.cgi?file=263&mode=view) at Carland86 for 1,600,000 Yen, If you're considering paying this much for a Trueno, I'd import this one from Japan.

[PeakingDuck]

The price on that has been as low as 16k and as high as 37.5k...

It ain't 100% without the gold stockers.

[GTVAE86]

That is so ridiculous. It does not have all original parts and its just a normal trueno with special stickers.

Pay an extra $20,000 for just stickers and fancy badging? I do not think so.

[marvis]

Because the tires are made in France!

[GTVAE86]

Kid Karola - I would not buy that one in the attached pic too. It is a auto.

[GEMTA22]

I dont understand all the commosion regarding prices for hachis.
Its really fair considering its exclusivity, history in motorsport and overall presence in the automotive seen. I dont understand how people are saying such a rare model hachi isnt worth the asking price.

Its been involved deeply in motorsport, than Mazdas equivalent the RX 1,2,3,4 series. Yet demand a considerably lower price. Big aftermarket base and cult following world wide, adored by many.

Simply dumbfounded as how people come to the conlusion the of such a car being overpriced.

[takai]

Kid Karola - I would not buy that one in the attached pic too. It is a auto.

Karola has attached the original sales brochure, not an actual car for sale.

[rthy]

with comments like - -Rear Wheel Drive = Drifter

haha i see this all over the place

[Kid Karola]

Kid Karola - I would not buy that one in the attached pic too. It is a auto.

That is a page straight out of the original Toyota brouchure. very few were delivered as auto. See the link where it says mint black limited.

[lo_rolla]

What a wank.
I reckon you'd be lucky to get one in Concourse condition sold for that much.
And how many AE86 fans cann afford that? And the ones that can afford that are too smart to buy it...

[wntdae86]

ay man there is a mint blue one on car sale in sunshine melb for $7000 and that is a fuckin clean car all stock i seen this car and fuck me it is way to good to even look at puttin a 4age

[slider4life]

thanks guys for clearing that up for what im chasing i dont think this will be a suitable car as a daily driver more suited as an investment so its back to looking for a mint as na trueno thanks for all the feed back regards shaun

[sundee]

tell him hes dreamin!.. just doesnt look mint enough to fetch 32K

[SEXY 16]

i wont say what i turned this car down for in japan
should have bought it

[aaron]

who knows though, with the new 86 coming out. it could turn out to be a worthy investment

[R&D Mechanical]

guys guys.....its JDM....

[Jonny Rochester]

who knows though, with the new 86 coming out. it could turn out to be a worthy investment

I think if you could find $30k+ you would just buy the new FT86. (Or MX-5 etc) Plus a mint GT-Apex for $8000 or whatever they cost now.

The Black Limited would be for people that don't have a lot of mechanical knowledge, don't want to thrash the car, but do want to go to car shows.

[Kid Karola]

i wont say what i turned this car down for in japan
should have bought it

do tell! :yeah:

how much yen was it then?

[takai]

guys guys.....its JDMyo....

Fixed

Tarago Stockies

[rthy]

but painted GOLD

[Jip86]

i'll sell you mine for 25k, its a bargain!

seriously tho, thats been on carsales for yonks, i go on their occasionally just to see what price hes got on it.pff, wanker.

[Vance]

dont listen to these guys!


the reason why it is priced so high is because it has a flux capacitor installed.

http://www.kubotekusa.com/news_events/enews/June07/Flux1.jpg

everytime you hit 88 miles per hour you have the ability to travel through time.

[Slimer86]

I think its a good price considering the other one on Carsales, Aussie delivered with 4ac power asking 10k....

[flamingheads]

There was a Black Limited 86 on here a year or 2 ago that someone was struggling to sell for like $6000, although it sounded like it was in pretty rough condition.
Surely if these were worth anything near that much money people would be modding their sprinters to look like this. It really doesn't seem like Black Limiteds are worth much more than normal truenos.

[xero]

Tarago Stockies

i said unique huy, doesnt mean they looked good :yeah:

[daily_driven_death_sled]

for that kinda money id be buying a FD

[PeakingDuck]

its a black limited.
it was a limited run in 87 before the AE92 took over.

They were introduced in 86. :unseen:

[Richard]

cause its awesome and prices of all 86's should be 30k+ so mine would be worth more

[RolandGTV85]

If I could afford it as a 2nd weekend car I'd buy it, Every day a hachi dies, if you kept it in this condition is would be very sort after in a few years. Providing it is all original and still has its original paint job........

[trueno]

i would love to own one. but there are too expensive to buy.

[maxhag]

Those plates were on a yellow trueno that was on carsales about a year ago. Either they were purchased and put on this car, or it's the yellow one with a fake makeover.....

[GEMTA22]

Mate sold his MRHNDA nsw plate for 8k.
Guess some people are crazy for it.

[Correct]

I agree

EDIT: saw the car sales ad - $20k

with comments like - -Rear Wheel Drive = Drifter

Lol at RWD = Drifter.

[Kid Karola]

Price is always debatable, but once you go black...

[driftke70]

he can put what ever he wants on it, sure its exxy but one day he'll get the money, id love it as a weekend car, but i dont have that kind of money. It has a soul to it, and its in quite good condition

[genkin]

There is a mint Black Limited (http://www.carland86.com/list/view.cgi?file=263&mode=view) at Carland86 for 1,600,000 Yen, If you're considering paying this much for a Trueno, I'd import this one from Japan.

The one at Carland for 1,600,000 isn't mint. it does have some rust holes etc. But that's not saying it isn't original.

[Jip86]

God those last two are HOT!

just sort of looking through old threads and noticed in this pic its an auto and there is no way i would pay that much for a sprinter with that many fucking kms on it if it had maby 5000kms original maby consider paying that amount but as stated before would need to be a whole lot more stock

[GAKI86]

yea i remember some bloke here was trying to sell one along with other jdm ae86s... was thinking of taking out a loan for that one... but hell i have my rust buckets that needs tending..

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

The Engine is listed as a: 4 cylinder Petrol Carburettor 1.6L (1587cc)

Then in the Comments it has ENGINE = 4AGE JDM.

I thought JDM 4AGE = Fuel injected..?

$34,500!!! Takumi Tax must have hit this AE86 hard...

To be honest, it is just a Corolla, $3000 - $4000 the MOST!

[GAKI86]

but also imagine put yourself in this guys shoes with the thoughts of ultimately letting this car go.... what would your price be? :P

[Eircamae86]

black limited my ass (ive seen a few in the flesh & love them), rare in japan, what about a silver over graphite, wine rose (burgundy), silver over blue & other colours that were never released in japan, they would have to be worth more over there??????? Export 86s to Japan

[Kid Karola]

It's a euro kit (thinking German) Halsbeck or Haslbeck? No longer made...
Consisted of bolt-on front bumper extension (suits early and late) with holes/vents for square foglamps, side-skirts and rear pods/mud guards.
Mate here has one on his Corolla GT which came from Switzerland (not really a fan myself) Few more pics below Gaki.
