Should I be daily driving my friend's AE86 Corolla?

[@3.3.22]

this is the best video ive watched in a long time

[@TheCpaschal86]

Love my 86. And every time I get tempted to sell it, I realize how hard it would be to replace if I wanted another one. Now the car is worth so much that even the wife doesn't bug me to get rid of it anymore

[@SuperSick]

They look great, not too racey. very spacious, good gas milage and reliable. I'm very tempted to trade my fc turbo ii for one someday

[@SidewaysGts]

@@SuperSick " I'm very tempted to trade my fc turbo ii for one someday" Funny enough- At this day, id say "good luck". a good GTS seems to be going for around 20-30~ k lately. you MIGHT be able to trade the FC turbo for an SR5 (Which go for around 7-10~ lately). It blows me away. Id never have imagine that an ae86 would be as worth as much as they are in todays market.

[@SuperSick]

@@SidewaysGts perfect examples go for 20-30k gts or not. also, its hard to say what they're actually being sold for. just because its listed for a price doesn't mean it sold for that much and BAT prices can also be false. A car's auction might close at 30k but that doesn't mean the buyer went through with the purchase. I think its hard to say. I will say my friend just bought a sr5 hatchback with 120k miles and full interior for 5k. does that mean the GTS with a 4ag (that he also recently bought for $250) and an LSD goes for 20-30k? depends on condition I would say. Same thing applies to turbo fc's. If the condition of the car/motor is really good then they can fetch a high price and could definitely be traded for an 86

[@mustangthekitten7765]

ill buy it! how much you want

[@annienguyen1799]

I daily my AE86 for the past 6 years. Loved every second of it. I no longer risk dailying it now as I realize the car turned into a savings account for me. And all it takes is some irresponsible driver on their cellphone to ruin it for me.

[@H0tDawgWater911]

Same here

[@ethangrandoit2939]

It’s meant to be driven. It’s an overpriced rice box. It’s worth 4k at most.!

[@BrandonT-bw3qc]

Make them pay for your repair fees bro. Fund a dashcam. Incompetent and irresponsible drivers should stay off their road for good anyway, perhaps making them broke is a good way

[@boxenjoyerkona]

@@ethangrandoit2939 Except it's worth much more than that. That's kind of how markets work, not really your choice, my man.

[@thewisebanana29]

“You can floor the shit out of this car because it’s not fast”. Lmfaoooo 😂 that’s my argument with my car. Ppl asking why I’m going hard on my car and I’m like bro it’s only going 30mph.

[@cositalinda2516]

Yes!!

[@jordanrobshaw1406]

Heres a sub, I like this channel

[@desireellanas6]

Those are amazing cars

[@Casual_01]

Thanks Randy!

Your Uber eats driver, will be arriving with your tofu shortly....

[@jacksonz6596]

6.8k for an 86? I can only ever find the restored ones for over 20,000

[@SuperSick]

try researching "ae86 shitbox" instead. you'll find some

[@jacksonz6596]

@@SuperSick wow! Really didn’t expect that to work thanks m8

[@SuperSick]

@@jacksonz6596 I am here for the people

[@SuperSick]

@@jacksonz6596 real talk though. maybe its your location? In so cal some solid shit box's pop up here and there. sometimes some really clean ones for around 12k.

[@SidewaysGts]

@@SuperSick Are we talking sr5s or GTSs for that price range?

[@R9skillah]

i’m on youtube for quality content like this.

[@SuperSick]

wow, thank you! I need to work on getting more videos out forsure

[@chloeschlanger2338]

ae86's are the best!

[@reginaldnorris1048]

All facts 💯

[@darkcreatures]

this is my dream car, cant afford to buy a car for 20-30k just yet but im glad to see toyota reliability is holding up and a 30 year old car can survive as a daily and still be super fun and reliable within gas mileages too some day...

[@jumpman93LP]

here´s me not even knowing that there are lhd ae86s

[@MarioHernandez-fr3jv]

Yes

[@MrHatchiFuto86]

Ultimate challenge daily driving a 20v swap is what I’m doing 😅

[@SuperSick]

That sounds like a dream come true

[@mr.j.martinez]

I can't wait to daily my bt 20v swapped ae86.

[@jaimelugo7841]

Great video bro! The edits are on point! Keep it up!

[@SuperSick]

Thanks brotha! working to get better with each vid :)

[@tougetime8485]

Got an 86 as my first car almost 4 yrs ago now, it's done everything an more:) but I have also put a ton of money and time into it;) this car is all about the balance

[@SuperSick]

Love to hear it! And what an awesome first car 🤙

[@H0tDawgWater911]

I daily’d mine for 3+ years. Great, reliable car imo…

[@SuperSick]

Love to hear it!!

[@Adrastus_]

Man I really do want one but I can't find anything near me and what I do find is really expensive, which I get, but I just wish I had the money for it lol

[@badrott8028]

Cheapest one running I’ve found was a GTS for 8500 missing some body panels, wish I coulda picked it up when I had the chance.

[@billlozenge5380]

Was hesitating to get one as a daily, but finally started to undergo the import process. Informative video👍!

[@SuperSick]

Happy to help. Enjoy your ae86!

[@googleuser6916]

Should you? Yes it’s a nice for a car from the 80s

[@finnalex3908]

Should you? Abso fucking lutely

[@bryanfernandezcoronado5176]

I personally own 2 1 Levin Coupe its my drift build currently going to put on it an LSX or LS1 for fun The other one is a Trueno Liftback going to swap the engine for a 20v Turbo soon since its my show car 🤣

[@SuperSick]

very cool!

[@interiorocean5750]

That's not a Corolla Levin but a Sprinter Trueno.

[@SuperSick]

dunno where ur from but they're called Corolla's stateside

[@interiorocean5750]

@@SuperSick I see, my mistake. Here in Japan the one with fixed headlights is Corolla Levin and the one with retractable is Sprinter Trueno.

[@SuperSick]

@@interiorocean5750 ahh yea, in the US we never got the levin addition. It's just called the Toyota Corolla SR5 or corolla GTS for trim level but they all had pop up headlights.

[@paul5683]

I sure wish that I would have hung onto mine. Two tone, red over black. It had the smaller engine and the clutch was shot. Living in Wisconsin it just didn't take too well to driving in the snow. Damn thing went sideways so easy it was scary. It didn't like being on the highway when it was windy. Being so light, the front end was very vague when ever a gust of wind hit it.

[@SuperSick]

Thank you for sharing! And yes, definitely not the ideal car for winter.

[@plantedrabbit3]

Im about to find out if mine is dailyable through an upstate ny winter, then after that she's getting torn apart for a 20v swap. Definitely wont see another winter after he swap unless its absolutely necessary

[@CewlVibes]

I kinda wanna see is an AE86 can beat a 2003 Pontiac Vibe! (Toyota Voltz over seas) They both have the same horsepower and roughly the same weight. would be kinda cool to see old school JDM hatch vs. more modern USDM/JDM hatch lol. Love the video you got a new sub!

[@DSlite11]

its an old toyota whats so special who cares

[@SuperSick]

Pretty funny coming from a guy with an old Honda civic as his default photo..

[@Jiffypbsb]

Yes
