was lookin on the jap auctions last night. theres a banged up ke70 goin for 2.5k and a overrated te70 for 3.5k. talk about expensive!

some people in australia think modified ae86s are worth $15k

some of them are, depends whats done to them i guess.

i'll admit to thinking of buying this, selling the mr2 and subaru.

a 1985 corolla would want to be gold plated to be worth 15 grand :)

Bidding on YA is a pain in the arse, all the bids happen in the last 30mins, and theres a sort of rolling timer, so it'll get down to 2mins to go, and flick back up to 15 or 10mins, starting the sniping war again. That usually happens about three times or so. The ones with the "buy now" price are easy, but often overpriced.

 

That said, you can get some decent buys off there now and then.

reason i was thinking about it was. cost of running 2 cars, 2 x insurance, rego etc. Having hte sprinter would mean only one car etc. The ae71 projects still in my head. ARRRRRGH talk about being torn into pieces. damn my 80's toyota obsession. Damn toyota not selling cops ADM aswell!

fook and i have two cars, a daily and corolla. it's not that bad :P

Yay, a combination of living in a nice suburb and not driving my car much means my insurance premium on the Corolla just halved :P
