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.

This car doesnt need a ton of power or anything to be fun. Think of a Miata, or S2000. They are fun little cars, that with just mild work to the suspension, and good driving can be rather competitive at autocross or road course.

I sold my hachi for 3k and it didn't have that much done. I only paid 500 for it and it had quite a bit of cancer living in the midwest all it's life. That's a clean 86 and jdm bumpers make any rolla look 100x's better. Those are the only thing I wanted on my rolla but I was too cheap to spend that much on bumpers.
