I found this on craigslist the other day and just couldn't help myself, the car is in such nice shape. The previous owner took really good care of it. The interior is like new and there is hardly any rust on the car. Its and SR5 coupe and its an automatic, but thats fine for me since I'm not going to be drifting anytime soon. Im just going to polish it up some and drive it back and forth to work.
            I didnt forget about the Celica, I added the Euro Plate Holder tonight  |

You got a deal on that car.
Swap it over to a manual with a silver top and you could turn it around for a nice profit. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I wonder if there's a way to cut and convert the rear like the Hachi-Roku or hatchback version like on Initial D...or if anyone's tried it. But man, I want a euro plate holder!

wow amazed on two levels for the rolla..
my thoughts in this order. 1. oh wow, that is really clean! nice find. 2. ohmygawd (pronounced as 1 word) it was only $900!?!?! then i put 2 + 2 together and was sh1tting bricks on that price matched with a rolla that was running let alone in primo condition. I dont know where your located, or where you got it from, but in AZ peeps are wild for those. bring it here and that will sell almost up to 3.5k AS IS. yeah i know thats outrageous but buyers are enabling sellers ya know? id never pay that much but i still like them. anyways props on finding that steal. have fun with it and keep it clean!! :thumbup: |

Where'd you find it? This guy in town was selling a pretty nice AE86, repainted a nice blue, 5spd GTS with LSD. it was an 87 I believe. Coupe. He wanted 800 for it, just about 200k miles, I drove it, drove pretty fine but second gear sometimes stuck. I went back to offer 700 the next day but it was gone. The guy was in his 30's and told me that if I was "looking for a Fast and the Furious car" this wasn't the car to get. Clearly didn't know much about his car. I wanted it badly.
