chk the classifieds

 

autotrader.ca

 

if you see one in ontario, could you please post here? i really would like one...

no offense.... BUT DO YOUR OWN DIRTY WORK!

check the classifieds... chances are if there is a good hatch ur gona have to enter a bidding war... as I am sure most hatch owners here can contest to...

The question is... how much are u willing to pay?

 

i didn't know searching the for it is the "dirty work"... :lol:

i tried the auto trader mag, the auto trader site and stuff but no luck. The guy on msn says all the good cars are usually sold by words of mouth. So since i don'y know any body who will tell me that they are selling their car, i was wondering if people who already have a ae86, find a seller and help people like me who wouldn't know about the sale. I would really apriciate it.

Thanks anyways.

 

o, and i am willing to pay anywhere around 2000 bucks

 

Check your PM

 

If there isn't any AE86's in the AutoTrader, just wait till the next issue. Maybe it's just your luck they don't have any AE86's this time..

Make sure you inspect the car inside out, these cars aren't brand new you know...

 

what kind of things should i look for when buying one?

 

look on club4ag they have a section somewhere regarding to spots u should keep an eye out for...

make sure there are no serious holes in the floor pan and try to ignore fender damage as it is almost always unavoidable... fender damage can be repaired...

look under the brake booster in the front driver side strut tower there should be a hole there as it is generic to all ae86...

just open the hood, top right corner....area close to the VIN# on the dash

 

he was referring to the hole on the shock tower under the brake booster doooood

 

yeah thats what trueno sprinter said, but he's asking for a pic so i'm assuming he doesn't know where it is

so i'm pointing him to that AREA

 

still have no idea...
is there "suppose" to be a hole there or not?

 

HERE'S A PIC

here's a pic of that dreaded hole.
anyone got their's fixed? how much and where?

not ALL ae86's have em, most do. i've seen 1 87 gts and know of another 2 that don't have any sign of that hole.

there's no such thing as an OEM hole.

 

lol...
well why does a hole form there?
bigger hole=???

ur gonna spend 2000 for ur 86 and 2000 to fix it and 2000 for stuff it needs later on down the road.

 

so what do i do to fix it? grind it, spray it with rust stopping paint and weld a patch of steel?

 

why not just look for one that DOESN'T have that hole.

i mean, its not like a standard feature that comes on all ae86's.

a simple yet brilliant piece of advice.

 

what are the chances of me finding a AE86 hatch that is in decent condition in ontario? pretty slim, i don't think i will be that picky because of a hole, but i will make sure to look out for it!
I PMed that guy(wunderboy), but he gave me no response

 

IMO, unless you're going to invest alot of time and money, I would look for something else. but maybe that's just me...
