Today a guy put up his DD ae86 for sale. It's a coupe, 5 speed, GT-s, LSD, blue paint. Blue interior. It has 200k miles at least, power everything. One headlight won't go down, passenger window won't go down either. Power sunroof. I drove it today, drives pretty well, 2nd gear would stick rarely. No creeks, nothing on corners, pretty silent. It has a rice muffler though, but I KNOW it hasn't been ragged on, I live in a small town, so I'd know if it was. He said he bought it to replace a rusting stock exhaust and it was cheap. He's asking 800.

I really kinda liked it but wondered 6gcs opinions. Also need some good sites for the 1.6 liter engine, or corollas. Would use it as a learning platform for things like painting/bondo. Maybe later it can be an autox car or drifter. It has some light rust but I didn't get to check the underbody.

check for the corolla hole. Look under the master cylinder for any rust on the firewall. AE's are notorious for developing a hole there. Also, check the frame rails and rockers, they usually rust out too. Is it an actuall LSD in it? what kind? I know that the later model AE86's came with a V-LSD, but not an actuall LSD.
