If these things keep going up in price it's inevitable, in twenty years an unmolested AE86 like that is going to go for stupid amounts of money. Well, Hakosukas started their rapid inflation like 5 years ago or so. I'm guessing AE86s will do the same in about a decade.

I just don't want to/can't spend that much on a project. Holding out hope that this price is a fluke or precursor, rather than a new normal.

I don't even know what initial d means, but anything with a race/rally pedigree like the ae86 has, always goes up in price when they start getting rare. e: See 240z, 1600(510), and rx2 or rx3 from the 1970s which went up in price about 10 years ago. Now is about when the 1980s surviver cars start going up a lot. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 14:16 on Jan 31, 2015 |

I used to watch Initial D as a 15-year-old just getting into cars, but looking back the animation is loving awful. They must have spent all their money on the eyesore CG software they used for all the race scenes. I have no opinion on its merits beyond that, because I watched like two episodes of it since then.

You mean Japan? Yeah they were popular, but there were a poo poo ton more of them there, I'd say a good 80% of the RWD Corollas were AE86's and it's the complete opposite in the US. Same goes for all the FWD Toyotas in the late 80's and early 90's, almost all of them were either 4AGE or turbo model, no poverty spec poo poo over there it was super rare to see that, again complete opposite over here, FWD 4AGE cars were loving rare, and good luck finding one with a manual. When I was there the FC RX7 Turbo was the most popular car by far.

When I was there the AE86 didn't have the huge cult following they do now, but back then they were still fairly newer cars and pretty common. The drifting scene was just starting and really street racing was much more popular at the time so it was the big HP turbo cars (RX7, GTR) dominating the scene. I went to tons of street racing events but never witnessed an actual organized drifting event, although I did see guys loving around up in the mountains which is a bit unnerving when you're on a motorcycle

Dum de dum, checking out an AW11 on Craigslist: http://portland.craigslist.org/yam/cto/4871494411.html Sweet. no spoiler/bodykit so it looks cleaner and no T-tops, = less leak potential. Definitely the look I prefer. The water spot on the trunk carpet seems a bit fishy (although this is Oregon so it is plausible that there is truly no rust) and the front passenger quarterpanel appears to be a different shade...ad says it's almost due for a new clutch...I'm sure that's a bitch to get to...hrmm, 85 is also a bit early in the lifespan; I should do more research about year to year model changes. *searches for year to year AW11 changes* *finds random Jalopnik article* *finds exact car from CL ad in Jalopnik article comments*  http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/i-have-a-silver-85-hardtop-which-i-love-to-death-i-wou-1394904855 The Jalopnik poster said he wouldn't trade it for anything, but he must have changed his mind within a year or so - the CL car has new plates and it is highly unlikely that two silver hardtop AW11s exist in Oregon, so unless the plates were stolen there was an ownership transfer, and now the new owner is looking to unload it after a few months according to his ad. I wonder what's going on. Hot Canadian Chick, you interested on going on a goon date with me to check this out?

blk posted:Dum de dum, checking out an AW11 on Craigslist: Sure, 85 is the best year - only year with a rear sway bar. And while you might prefer the spoilerless look, they do serve a purpose on AW11s - without them they get a bit twitchy at highway speeds (even with spoilers they still get blown around in the lane a bit going over gusty bridge spans or passing semis), so you may consider eventually putting a stock spoiler on if you get it; it'll depend on how much freeway speeds without it bother you. E: and replacing the clutch kinda requires having a lift so you can drop the engine; if you're doing that, you'll want to do the timing belt/water pump/etc while it's out, and make sure whoever is doing it bleeds the coolant correctly when putting it all back together- the shop that did the clutch on mine hosed up bleeding it and it ended up killing the engine.

1500quidporsche posted:I'm of the opinion that an AE86 would be marginally more valuable then a fox body mustang if it wasn't for anime nerds. They're actually pretty rare in North America. But you're half-right because I'm sure many ae86's were molested or wrecked by teenagers and manchildren with ~anime dreams~ and the anime certainly increases the desireability disproportionately to how cool the car actually is. At the end of the day it's a Japanese e30. Edit: ^^^^ Do it. Well kept Oregon cars are the best. And the AW11 is definitely a car I would have a spoiler on for all of the reasons above, but with emphasis on 'it's a mid engine car, poo poo will go wrong if you lose control' and this is coming from someone who can't stand anything bigger than a lip spoiler cosmetically on most cars. I bought my e30 in Eugene and the trunk was also a bit damp like that, but there was no rust. You have to go out of your way to make an Oregon car rust. If you're really worried about it, most buyers would probably be cool with you pulling the trunk lining if you have cash on hand and you don't come off as a wheel kicker. Don't know AW11's super well but the moisture may or may not mean you'll have to replace some carpet (less likely) foam (very likely) and occasionally vapor shields cosmetic panels etc, it just depends on how long/often it's been wet + what kind of materials AW11 trunks are made of.

Haven't heard back from the dude, probably because football, and now I'm out of town until Tues night - I'm going to ping him again and try to check it out with a freeway drive later this week.

Unless you're set on an AE86, there are loads of faster, newer, and more competent cars to be had for less money. I love mine, but there are limits to the madness.

The color match is way off and the material itself is just all wrong. I suppose it's better than the duct tape that the PO used to cover the tops of my back seats... Which is really sad as places like club4ag have documented where to order exact matches for the OEM upholstery on them. Even a modest amount of effort would have found the suppliers who sell the correct fabric.

TheLarson posted:That car is now down to $8000 on craigslist and it's still a few grand too much. Sure it's fairly original, but it still needs a whole lot of work to be asking that kind of money. The seats look to have been covered with the same material as an '82 Lincoln. Sure someone scribbled some basic maintenance logs which is kind of cool, but god drat. I got my 1985 GT-S hatch in similar condition and similar mileage (with a rougher body, admittedly) for less than half their asking price. I'm actually thinking about snatching up this one -   My heart's set on an AE86, regardless of speed or tofu-tax. Jumping the gun a little; I'm planning to pick one up this year, but I've got a raise/tax return/etc info coming in the next couple weeks. None of these have been so perfect I need to make the call right now. Ville Valo fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Feb 2, 2015 |
