Don't expect to scare anyone with the straight line speed of a regular 4age. No geforce from these engines.
However, if you are flooring it round a corner, these things have more than enough power to really break traction. This defintitely is good if you want your mates to enter the 'shit-your-pants' territory.
A premodded sprinter with 4age will start from about 5k. 8k+ for something with a nice setup.
A drive in drive out conversion starts from about 3k. From here, you'll need to address the suspension, and maybe driveline which is more cash.

When you are buying a sprinter, watch out for rust spots. These cars are old and tend to commonly have rust.
Also, check the chassis. The 86 by default has got a rather weak chassis. Check for signs of corrosion, flexing, or bendages.

Overall, they are a great car. However, they are only worth doing up if you totally have a passion for em.
Other than that, there a newer and more superior cars in the price bracket of the 86.
