looking for an 86

jOYRiDe · #1 06-08-2002, 11:01 AM

ive been looking in the papers for a toyota corolla sprinter 83-86 model in the papers for the past year or so and ive had no luck. only once or twice have i found one but its from a trader and the price is gastronomical ($7000 for a 15 yr old car). if anyone sees one in the paper around syd please let me know! thanks y'all. i dont want a thats more than $4000. relatively good condition will do. if possible, a corolla with pop-up lights

thanks again.

4 grand sounds about right for one, but finding them is pure hell as all the drifters snap them up. The trading post is online, give it a go every now and then

yeah i checked thetrading post last nite, i founda corolla sprinter but it was from the 1970's

ive only seen three 86's in syd surburban and metro areas so far... a hard car to find

Its always typical, when you want something you can never find it.

If it's a read '70s sprinter than that's an even rarer find - wonder if it's a Levin Sprinter with the factory go-fast stuff.

from memory it was a 77 sprinter. i think it had the 100kw 4AGE swap in it with other bits. possibly LSD too if i got my head on straight :o
