What to look for when buying..

[Dillon Mac]

Im looking at buying an AE86 for a first car.. but ive heard so much crap about rust checks.. I dunno where to look or how bad it should be or anything.. Anyone give me a quick run down on what to check when buying an AE86 please.. I could be going to look at a car within the week for my first car..

Thanks all

honestly...

stick with a brand new car like a proton or a hyundai..

they are more reliable and good on petrol not to mention theyre at a good price...

ask your mom to aid you with the financing

Only women and elderly drive hyundai, SERIOUS.. Nah I wann an AE86 or second to that an S13 (1via, onevia) so please just help me out finding the things I need to check..

(BTW I prob have more money than my mum, atm and the bank wont look at me for a loan so..)

RUST ---***
PRICE --- ***


Other than that most of the things can be fixable. Anyway, you are starting your own project.
You are buying a shitbox by paying farking unreasonable price for an reaonable ordinary person.
So, you should enjoy paying money and having troubles and sharing experiences with your 86 mates around.

heres my 2c..
buy a s13..
to set up a hachi newhere near good enough to slide well you will have to pump stupid ammounts of $$ into it..
the s13 comes out the fatory with excellent power, LSD and very well balanced shell. get some decent suss in it and your laughing.. all this is achievable for around 8-9k easy..

as for a spponta... lucky to find a rust filled shit box stock one for around the 3-4k, whack a 4age in... 2 or so more grand depending on all the variables... suspension 2k depending on which way you want to go about it.. LSD one grand... cant see how neone can justify spending all this money on a corolla unless its a dedicated slider...
