    Unhappy Toyota Corolla GTS / AE86 model...where is it?

    I've been looking into getting a project car for some time now, and I figured I'd try my hand at this fabled and apparently legendary vehicle. The only problem is, I can never find one within 800 miles of my location (Massachusetts, USA). Was this car made / shipped for everywhere else but the eastern US coast? All the eBay listings, For-Sale ads, and the like that I've found have them all out west: W. Canada, California, etc. I think the closest one I found was in Wisconsin.

    Anybody have any information on this car, such as why I can't seem to find one within reasonable distance? I just have no idea...

    Cause its a mystical vehicle, always one step of potential buyers riding on the highway of hype.
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

    Supply and demand.
    sparse supply - high demand

    haha no offence but good luck finding one anywhere
    it also depends on how much you want to spend ....\as of right now if you want one you'll be paying 4000-5000 or more dollars for one with minor rust. and chances are when you do find one someone will already have dibs on it you'll probably be better off buying a different car.
    just my two cents
    funny thing is black/ blue book value one a AE86 is only like 1000 or so ....due to the initial D craze you can't find one anywhere ..... but if you really want that car be dilegent and look hard and i don't give up
