Just found a really well priced corolla gts that hasn't

What is "reasonably priced"?

>>14779763
3k, Registered and everything

>>14779790
I'd buy it.

That's not bad, that's SR5 money right there but for that price, be prepared to put in some major work, new sunroof seal, new quarter window clips and resealed, new hoses, ect.

Sounds good, yeah I plan on doing all that, and doing an overall check up on the car.
Are they known for any problems?

>I have been wanting a fun backroads car, was also looking at rx7 fc and mr2 sw20
you're getting a car thats significantly slower than both of those

It's going to be 80% rust m8

Honestly though a 4A-GE should be no more than $800 even if you buy it from some overpriced JDM tyte engine depo, so if anytihng breaks just buy a new one

True, but I wasnt looking forward to snap oversteer or apex seal goodness either

m8, be prepared for more than just exterior and interior work. Last two years for me:

>LSD diff whine - replaced LSD because the clutch plates in the old one were basically annhilated after 30 years
>battery drain
>sunroof and firewall leak so driving in the rain is a bad idea
>wobbly steering rack
>leaky power steering hoses
>leaking oil cooler - removed oil cooler
>pop-up motor failed
>pilot bearing needs replacement
>starter lead wire plastic bit broke, so I get to enjoy trying to find a new plastic clip and learning ignition timing because the distributor had to come off to get access to the starter
>AC obviously doesn't work
>mysterious misfire at idle
>strange creaking from the front and various "old car" sounds that I can't fix
>speedo gear is kaput, so I do 100 mph all day every day
>rust holes in the stock exhaust
>engine harness wiring is degraded and needs to be rewrapped at least
>doesn't exactly pass smog
>and millions of tiny but expensive to fix cosmetic details that get on my nerves

I consider myself lucky to have had so few problems and a generally functional car. Most 86s are true shitpiles that need a restoration if they're under $8000. But probably worth experiencing one for $3k. If you can wrench and aren't going into this knowing nothing like I did, you'll be fine. I've only spent about $2.5k in repair and maintenance but close to $1k was just on the diff replacement.

Thats fine, I actually didn't want to buy a bunch of local ones because they were too complete, and too finished I mean a used car is never 100% right hah. Thanks
