Wed, 30 April 2003 06:51 Agreed, In stock form, a sprinter is a passenger car, that's what I believe anyway. The celica is better in almost all other aspects. However, the 86 has the potential to become an awesome ride only if you are willing to pump money into it. For some reason, the sprinter is being a sold at a premium these days, anywhere between $2.5 to $4k for a stock one, in relatively alright condition. (some would argue otherwise). Add to this that they are real OLD, and spare parts are hard to obtain. You have to ask yourself is it worth it? To get the sprinter to be sporty, you'll have to spend a bit of money. You can probably pick up a 4age for about 700+, but once you finish the whole conversion, it will cost you at least 1500-2000 if you do MOST of the work yourself. Drive in Drive out conversion are 3k +. And even then, it'll be slower than the SX. Add this to the cost of a suspension package, an exhaust system, an LSD rear disc end, etc.. and you'll be looking over 10k!!!! The sprinter is a great car. If it was cheaper, I definitely would recommend it. But in terms of dollar performance, it's a bit pricey. A silvia comes close in terms of price/performance, And is definitely better value. But a celica SX is awesome (my mate has one, and I reckon it's kewl as). Sprinter is a car for the 86 passionate or the enthusiast (if you are after sports performance). Other than that, it's an overpriced passenger car. [Report message to a moderator]
