Thinking about buying an 87 FX16 gts - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

yup, theres one for sale near me, they want $2000.
its got 177k miles on it.
the interior and exterior are in good shape
and its a manual.

i want it sooo bad

the current AE82 is nearing death, there is JB weld in the head, and the water pump is going, time for a new car

do you guys think the FX16 is worth that?

its a rare car, hard to find so that's probably why the owner is selling it for so much. I'd say offer him $1500 and go from there.

eh, its a dealer, i said i would give them 1500 cash but nooooo......bastards

i might just pay them the 2k

***REN69*** · 07-22-2005, 07:50 PM

dude.. work him down.. give him a few days, then go back and say.. the car still here?? come on man.. I'll give you $1500 if he says no give it a few days and keep doing it. Worked for me.

interesting, i shall try it, but first i want to drive the lil bastard...i heard they are "highly tossable"

The AE82 is lighter than the AE92 Coupe, so yeah I think you will like the car. and I'm sure after a suspension upgrade, you'll like it even more.

hell i tossed the front suspension into my 86 sedan, and jesus that was a huge improvement

***REN69*** · 07-23-2005, 12:31 PM

Well.. go for it dude.. you'll like it.
