iori,
good condition JDM sprinters are hard to come by these days. THat's cause in japan, the ae86 is even more popular than they are over here. This means that the locals are willing to pay a WAY higher amount for one in good condition. So don't have a heart attack when you find out the prices.
8-10k will get you a thranged up, drifted out junker 86. (no choice of color as well).
10-15k will get you something half decent. Chassis in *reasonable* condition, engine may still be going strong, a bit of rust. (it will still be an ex race car though). A bit of structural damage.
15+ will get you something neat, and tidy, maybe even original.
-----
In australia, no importer wants to import these and keep them as stock. This is because of 2 main reasons, as I've been told.
1. Finding something decent is very hard. It is also hard to compete with the locals when bidding. The supplies are getting depleted, as more and more 86's kick the bucket in japan.
2. If they find something decent, the purchase price will be very high. The resale to public price will then be even higher. No one in Australia is willing to pay 15k+ for an ae86. Everyone here seems to think that they are shit cheap car. It simply is not at all profitable for importers to keep in stock.
The only way you are going to get one is by request. Talk to ae86drift. He's importing one in.
So yeah, pretty expensive little cars. But they are a cult classic. Only problem is, you'll have to pay top dollar to own one.
rock on.
