wow, can't believe people are ragging on the price. This car is superb, i've seen this thing up close and personal, and is definitely worth the money, probably alot cheaper than it should be at.

Well 5 or so years ago you could get them all stock and clean for dirt cheap. Like $1500>. Since the super JDM dorifto scene is now in its full ricer entirety they're going for way too much. This car is clean and tastefully modified, so the $5k price isn't too bad at all; especially nowadays. I like the fact it's been more restored than modified too. It's refreshing to see something that's not all tyte driftoredz out. I've seen rattle canned and hacked to ---- piles of garbage AE86's going for $3-$6k, so asking $5k especially OBO really isn't too far off base at all in this day and age. I definitely think it's reasonable.
I love the litle 4AGE too and I liked it before all the ricer fanbois did. My 2nd car was an FX-16 and even though it was a torqueless FWD wonder it still took an absolute beating. If the parts are really what this dood says they are then $5k is a goot deal. You can't get anything good for under $5k nowadays anyway. I'd love to have this car.
