Got my AE86 - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I bought a silver 87 AE86 coupe yesterday!:grin: Found the ad in buysellzone.com. The body is clean except for some major rust on the wheel wells and a bit on the sunroof. Interior is very very clean though, no rips. I drove the car for a short trip, and I was sold, I had to get it. Owner was asking $800 but I got it for $700. Its still sitting in his driveway cause I can't get my plates transfered till the OPSEU strike ends. When I do get it home I'll post some picks. :grin: :grin: :grin:

You should check the underside. By the sounds of it mine has some more rust then yours. My wheel wells had bad rust. Then when I whent to get it saftied My frame was rusted out too. So you should look at your frame. Mine drove smooth and shiftend nicly on the test drive and there is no problems with it mechanicaly and it had a very clean interior too. I hope what happened to me does not happen to you.

I bought it as is, all I got was the ownership, and the key. I knew it was a bit of a gamble not taking it to a shop first, but I had to have it. It hasn't passed the sniff test, or safety yet. Its just sitting there in the sellers driveway. :grin: I didn't check underneath the car so voodoo is scarring me a bit.

If it aint rusted through its fixable.. even if it was rusted through, depending on the amount, its still fixable. So dont worry :wink:

mr_sinister · 03-21-2002, 09:10 AM

i think all gt-s's came with a full size spare.. if its the original one, i'll trade you for it :wink:

i have 3 and need 1 more to complete my set of tires

or how about you, voodoo, does your car still have that 15 year old dunlop spare ??

yeah, lets see some pics!

well for the price you paid, you can't complain *too* much about the rust..

Voodoo.Priest · 03-21-2002, 12:51 PM

Yup I think you are right about all GT-S comming with full size tire. Mine had one too.

mr_sinister · 03-21-2002, 02:05 PM

is yours the 195/55/14 dunlop one?

if so I'll trade you for it?

i have another full size spare but its even smaller .. its like a 195/45/14 or soemthing.. but i have three of the dunlop 195/55/14 ones.. i'm trying to get 4 of those tires so i can use them..

goodcookiedrift · 03-21-2002, 02:49 PM

mr_sinister · 03-21-2002, 06:52 PM

the stock spare is a 195/55/14. .but i have oen where the previous owner mounted a smaller tire on it..

Voodoo.Priest · 03-21-2002, 11:13 PM

Yup it is a Dunlop. Thats what it said on the tire any way. It was cold out so I didn't really look at what the wheel said on it. But I have seen my spare on a GT-S before but it had 4 of them. Here is a pic of that car.

Oh and I wanted to ask you something becaus I recognised the pic of your car on Club 4AG.
If you live in Toronto the why was it when I saw this SR5 pic in Auto Trader way back when, why did the phone number listed have a 905 area code? Did you move?
