hay guys i don't know if any of you guys could help me. but i saw a feature car in fastfours and rotarys(jdm style ta22). i thought these look really nice are these's a good car to be looking at for a first car? if they are, are these starting to get rare or what? sorry for the bad questions or maybe bring this up in the wrong forum

thanks quys

yeah ta22's :happy: i wouldnt say you'd pick up a decent one for under $3k.. especially to learn in.. id pick up a ke70 for a 1/3 of that and search for a ta22 later on

 

cheers

Probably was a good first car in the 90s, but they are getting collectable now. Would be more suitable for an enthusiast into old Japanese classics.

For a first car, look for a KE70 or AE71, would be good to learn in.

Getting rare, hard to find without rust for "first car" prices.

 

Toymods forum is full of Celica enthusiasts.

I guess that was FONZY's celica?

Even KE70's are starting to get a Takumi tax. The early FWD Rolla's are the cheapest and most "unwanted" of the lot now. :happy: I'm sure they're still decent cars!

A twin-cam AE82 would be a pretty fun first car. They have a decent handling/brake setup too!

I love the Takumi Tax :yes: luckily I didn't have to pay much Takumi tax on my 86.

 

It's a shame that you can't pick up a decent KE to learn in these days (ie one that has been around but still doesn't have too much rust). I learnt in a KE35 and it was great. The car had no guts at all, but it was still a cool little car. I don't know if there are any decent RWD cars you could get as a first "learn to drive in" car, so FWD is probably the way to go.

Keep looking for bargains! They are still around. Depending where you are. I drove 200 k's for my e7. And got a mad deal. If you get the silly car +1 awesome. And make sure you keep us updated!
