trade celi for a AE86?, wat do you guys think? Options

[soulshadow]

The thing is my Celi looks so stlyish and those AE86 look like crap. Plus I might get it stolen in the future.....cause its the car from Inital D......and its TRD--D.

The thing with the car is that it looks exactly like the one from Inital D minus the Tofu logo....
its got the rims, engine, seats, clusters, gauges, and everything, just that it can't rev all the way to the 11K RPM Band.

The 86 has been topped out with all TRD parts available for the 86. It would be a trade for a trade, title for title with no warranties, cash, or restrictions held. The car is mine and my car is yours!

As I was told, its a hatch with the 4age silvertop swapped in. The guy likes to drift around with the car, but complains that the new motor is too heavy and he like the old 16V engine better. They also want a celi like mine cause there gonna turbo it and with the 20V already in it. It just makes things sweeter.
They own a shop that specializes in imports and have a few odd configured cars.
One of them is an 91 Integra with the engine moved to the trunk and running RWD.

The only thing I am concerned about is if the 86 will last me, and since I haven't seen it yet I don't know what shape the car is in and if it has any dent from drifting....... If its got major cosmetic damage I might not even trade the celi. Theres also this old guy selling an Old school MR2 for cheap with a bad head gasket. I might just buy the MR2 instead and see if I can get a cheap deal.

LOL... basically the same engine ya know.

Umm... the AE86 is worth more... but don't do it if your plan is to actually drive the car. The AE86 isn't a daily driver quality car if you're used to your Celica... and since it has a silvertop in it... I'll pretty much gurantee you it's not a driver quality car.

Now... tell me (not us... just me) more about that 86. If it's so great... decked out with all TRD parts (which costs more than the car itself BTW)... then why would he trade it for a celica? Doesn't make sense because AE86's decked out with "all TRD" parts and a Silvertop 20V to boot can EASILY sell for 7000.00+...
