Stock AE86 pricing

86's in general seem to be horrendously expensive, but how about stock average condition ones?
Bone stock, how much are you looking at spending to get a 4A-C runabout?
Also, is the 4A-C really as shit as everyone says it is? 
Just curious, as if i had to get a second car just to use getting to and from the station if i was to do the work on my soarer myself. Which I doubt would happen, but it would be nice to have a car to get to work while the soarer is being serviced and new suspension is being put on etc.
Didn't want to clog the trading post section with this crap so I thought I'd just ask a general question.
Nothin special, just your average run of the mill bone stock AE86... how much are you going to have to spend?
(Just has to make it to the local train station and back!)
even if it has rust, or mismatched panels... if it looks like a boganmobile who cares, that's just asking for a backyard spray paint practising car!
Cheers
James
PS: kind of a broad question I know. But prices for these done up ones vary so much, I havent seen a completely stock standard one or prices yet.
So dont flame me too much

You can sometimes get a bargain, ive heard of someone finding one in fairly good condition with rego etc for $900 
Expect to pay anywhere between $2500 -$5000 depending on the condition etc. If you are wanting a daily driver, get something other than a sprinter as they are no fun at all in stock form, maybe a sx corolla or something (yes i know a sprinter is a corolla but for argument sake its not) as it will be better and probably find a nice corolla cs or something in great condition cheaper than a sprinter

$900 thing would be ideal, even if it was a rustbucket.
$2500 to $5000 for a stock one?
Ok, forget that idea. Just wanted a little hoon-mobile to get to the station in while i consdered my options with the soarer.
Seems i'll just keep the soarer on the road and try and do things one at a time with it...
I know everoyne must be sick of people asking questions like this bout sprinters but I was just curious.
Thanks for your time!

Even if it's not, for $800, if the tyres are decent and the brakes work, and it gets you from A to B, then it's cool.
Main reason why I was curious about an 86 for a "to the train station" driver was because everyone seems to have so much fun so i thought i could thrash it around a bit too.
And when I finished doing whatever to the soarer, i could then throw a 4A-GE into the sprintah, and make it my ghetto backyard project 
If I could just have a car like that which i could do anything to, learn on, fix up as a hobby.. that would be the greatest.
But it would be a thrashbox/train station commuter car for me.
and need i mention that i would be as cool as takumi owning a sprintah?  (heh)

As a daily driver get around car, a 4AC sprinter is really good. The first thing to change is the 20 yr old saggy suspension. The 4AC holds its own OK. It just gets shit heaped on it because there are lots of other similar yet far better engines. Price of 2-3000 for a reasonable stock sprinter is achievable. Just keep an eagle eye on the trading post
Sprinters are also very practical (three bikes or 2m lengths of steel fit in the back) but are over priced. For a transport car get a KE70 or even AE71 (most people selling them probably don't understand the difference), heaps cheaper but you lose the hatchback space.

still an ae82 would be ur go for a daily commuter if you dont have cash to spend, a nice twin cam example are not that hard to find at decent prices and you can then throw a gze in it for your backyard project lol and then have some fun, or sell it as many of the car enthusiasts do once they have finished a project, all the fun is in building it i say!
