im looking at buying my first AE86 and ive found one but i dunno if its worth the money or any good. To me it seems a little bit pricey but im not sure. What i was wondering is if there is anyone in Canberra that knows the car or is maybe willing to have a look at it for me and let me know if its worth the money or if i should be steering clear? Ive got mechnical knowledge ( ive just finished building a classic mini) so im happy to get my hands dirty but i dont want to have to do massive amounts of work to it.
hmm u can get cheaper adm 4age, but by looking at the photos this is a fairly clean example, tidy looking motor and interior looks pretty well kept. and 280 xxxkm it hasnt been ridiculously over run like most adm in aus. At the same time u have to think what you want, if u dont mind paying more money but getting a clean car this isnt a bad deal, but if u dont mind to much on the condition then for cheaper u could get a adm with a 4age easily.
just make sure to check the engine compression and so on, make sure u check the window seals for rust and rails for bends in chasis. usual things to check in second hand cars.

i have between 6.5 and 7.5 to spend. I noticed the car had a small amount of rust on the boot lid which i kinda expect from a 16 year old car,but yeh ive just heard from different people that they would only pay 5.5 for it and others say its cheap go for it. So im jsut trying to get as much info as possible
personally i would save a bit more and wait/import a jdm one or get a an adm with a bigger engine ie beams, 20valve, or smallport turbo/supercharger etc. just depends on what you want to do with it, are you chasing power? and how much you are WILLING to spend.
mm i was starting to think maybe i shuld try for 10grand and go from there. Um im chasing something that i can drive every day, drive from say Canberra to Sydney and back but also something i can take to the track.
yeah thats what i did i was after a 4 age k70 at first kept waiting for a clean one to come up for sale that never did then i realised i could buy a ae86... i just bought my first one last week its a jdm one i payed close to 10k but i could not imagine tracking it, well not with my driving skill...im still too noob atm...anywho this is all very much off topic now GL with your hunting just dont get impatient and buy the first one you see wait till you find "The One"
