i ranked the list above, based on desirability, high modability, coolness and ease of access in getting one of these on classifieds

i mean no doubt, in malaysia, the ke series are much wanted. i bet in years to come, the ae82, ae92, ae101 are within 10k budget!

Most of these retro rwd rides needed lots of time, money and customisation due to difficulity to get parts or parts are not produce anymore. So I wouldn't recomen this types of cars to new 1st time buyers jst bcause the purchase price is cheap.
But as a matter of fact it needs tonne of attention and money on the body work, interior, chassis and engine to make it properly restore and road worthy.

A better bet is those honda ef/eg, toyota se/city or protons which are much more cheaper to maintain and get parts. Only hard core ol skoolers will appreciate.
Those bought cheaply will need work and money to get to expectation. And most unfinish project will be sold half way. Furthermore how many of those really nice one u see selling at less than 10k let alone 5k.

well thats why the toyota ke70 is top on the list, parts are available, its like any given corolla. the other cars would be a hassle with parts, other than the honda i believe.

however, if you could find a car thats cheap, chances that it has problems, rust, engine issues and so forth. do set aside some money if you want to do up the car. when ur buying a 90s ride, chances it has rust and engine issues. the only difference is that, with the money spent, u could paint the car to anything u want and have the rust issues sorted out, unlike cars u already could buy straight from the car dealership, wont know what kind of rusts goes under it

No retro celica dragon on the list?.... :)
main focus was 10k, dragon celica, aka ta22, 23, 28 series are touching 10k and usually in bad condition
