WTB Almost any Gt-s

I want to start off by saying my budget is a total of $3,083.97 I know this isn't much so I am not expecting a gold mine but I am just hoping that this will finally help me find one I can afford.

Now as my title says I am willing to buy any gt-s, I have a few qualifications.

I would hope that it wont be a money pit, I don't want a vehicle with frame damage. My accord had that and I was constantly doing repairs on it because nothing would ever stay in its place.

I would prefer that it has no modifications because my insurance will most likely go up. Body mods I guess would be fine I don't think they care about that.

If it has modifications and that's the only thing I can get then I understand and will take it.

I love this car and really want it as a daily so I just want it to be strong to deal with that.

I really will take anything as long as most the damage is only cosmetic, I was willing to buy one that had seats that had holes in them and it was really rusty but the engine was clean but the man sold it piece by piece to people for parts.

I will leave my number here in hopes that I could get a text or call with offers. 352 - 509 - 0103

Who doesn't want a GTS as their first AE86? If that is what you really have your heart set on, then by all means go for it. I own an SR5 and I am extremely happy with it. When I bought it my plans were to convert to 4AGE and eventually to GTS but decided to go for the cost effective 3TC engine instead. I aint gonna lie, my carbed 3T pulls way harder than my friend's 4AGE. All I'm saying is keep your options open if your GTS isn't available.

Well I say GTS but I would be perfectly happy with a SR5 as well as long as its Manual and in decent condition, as far as i know the only true differences between the two are the engine and the interior.

I don't want to limit myself to much, I just don't want my insurance premiums to go up. If it wasn't an issue I'd be more open to other vehicles, the Trueno is my dream but if I wasn't so tight on cash I'd open my mind to things like an RX-7 or a 240z.

definitely keep your options open as stated above, now days these are getting harder to find and I hope you find the gts you're looking or but nowdays you gotta have some good luck or spend some $$ to get a true gts. Either way a gts or sr5 can be equally clean depending on your income and the direction you want to take it. Anyway good luck, also keep an eye open on craigslist, things pop up every once in a blue moon :tu:
