I am keen to acquire what seems to be a needle in a haystack and perhaps this is the wrong place to advertise, having such a large proportion of drift fans?
I'd like to find a clean, straight AE86 Levin which has not been bastardised and doesn't look like something thats done ten rounds in a bar fight
ADM or JDM, no bodykits, complete and tidy interior, no/minimal rust, paint condition acceptable for its age, no locked diffs, dodgy suspesion mods with Nissan struts and oversized LCA's etc.
Want something that resembles OEM JDM GTV Levin
Would prefer a 4AGE bigport already fitted, but similarwould be considered (20v GZE etc) again keeping it closer to OEM toyota than anything else
It amazes me how much people ask these days for what is essentially an 80's corolla (flame suit on - no offence intended). I am a fan too, but probably for sentimental reasons than anything else, I owned one for 8yrs back in the 90's and had it at GT spec, but silly me sold it. They are great cars and handle well, but the drift craze seems to have given them a whole new status I dont understand.
Seriously - is there some new AE86 tax these daysLook at these shocking examples:
Do these guys really expect these dollars? NO ONE IS BIDDING ON THEM GUYS!!
Or is it just a simple supply and demand and they are plenty of naive/immature buyers that believe them to be worthy. The AE86 arena seems to b e the only modified car that happily adds up the cost of all mods and whack it onto the price - any other car owner accepts mods dont increase the value of the car neccessarily.
I wont single out ads in this forum out of respect, but there is plenty of dream ads here too
Anyway enough of a rant - this is only my third post so I'm sure I'll get plenty of flack for it. Have been looking for 3yrs and know my AE86's
This is more what I am looking for, but cannot justify the price
(again no bids, let alone anything NEAR to the Buy it Now price)
If anyone has a tidy example as described above and wants realistic dollars then I am all ears
