There's lots of ways to look at what its worth devilrolla.
redbook.com.au is an authority, and one of the ways.
ultimate chaos pointed out "it" is one of the best 4cyls ever made... but remember that if you are paying a premium as a collector, to distinguish accordingly between it being Collectable, or not, else when you field what its worth in the future, you'll be disappointed.
For example an Australian AE86 Sprinter was arguably the worst spec AE86 to any country (Toyota has historically given us the the dregs).
This example of the Sprinter is far from the Australian spec, and so must be valued accordingly. When it comes to being a collector however, the physical upgrades are significantly devalued.
When not looking at an AE86 as a collectors car, you are comparing it to anything else in that price range, and you'll find thats why people say off the cuff "its 20years old". Thats where I think ultimatechaos' comparison of the AE86 being better than anything today somewhat fragile.
Club4AG has a good intro/primer in their Forum FAQ section if I recall correctly.
The AE86 Sprinter's situation is similar to that of Mazda 808 Coupe's situation. The up-specced jap/performance RX3 Coupe/Savannah is in high demand/short supply, so people are converting to rotary engines and crossmembers, upgrading axles, brakes, tail lights, trims, dash... and when it comes to being a collectable, its just a "faker" (eg Falcon GTHO fake $20k vs identical authentic $40k) and are judged on a different level.
Same with Mini Cooper's, Redbook reflects the collectors value of the Cooper/S's... however if you look at a Sprinter, its not the collectors item, and its value isnt reflected so. This has insurance repercussions, which club4AG primer post also raises.
I'm sure you could go on and on with examples, but its something to keep in mind.
I'm currently looking for an AE86 of any description (have a post WTD: Perth AE86...) so have these things at the front of my mind.
I hope it helps.
