importers will always tell you that ae86s will be expensive, but the truth is that they always put big margins on them! i have been looking for a jdm 86 for ages, and i have someone searching for me in japan, and i will get a real good one for 6 garuntee you. but buying off places like yahoo auctions like most do, the prices are always high.
eg. the car he just finished looking at for me was going to be not too much more than your 'wrecking velue' landed here. it was 86 trueno gt apex hatchback, built as a drift car 3 months ago, cage, seem welded, new black paint, all components in excellent condition, coilovers, trd lsd, seats inc rebuilt 20v motor.. etc etc. yes its true so dont tell me otherwise
i almost bought it, but they drove it, and another guy followed it, and it crabbed down the road a little, so i decided against it. i know it would be worth getting just for the parts, but that doesnt concern me at the moment. i just want a car for me!
it was a private sale, but see something like this on yahoo, and it would fetch probly 5k+ just for the car, and then whoever bought it wouldnt find out till later that the chassis is bent...
oh and by the way, the coupes are very cheap in comparison so that why people prefer to bring them in...
