I was referring to long term resale value. I realize the difference.

I don't blame you. Just check out ebay and you'll see the car could go for more than $4200 easily depending on the condition. Just look at it as a classic and ignore the spec. That car is definitely not known for its power (does HP really mean everything?), but its 50/50 weight distribution which is ideal for drifting and autocross after some suspension mods.

yeah, definately want one of these, definately a good price given the going rate for this car lately, and definately don't have an extra $4k.

Congrats on the find! Please do it right. And keep that stiff clutch!

Nice! I did a search for AE86 on a whim as I just bought an 85 GT-S coupe. Bone stock and no sunroof! Took me about 8 months to find a good candidate. Now I'm waiting for a sweet shipment from Techno Toy Tuning mmmmmmm can't wait.... Still have the Z of course
