Toyota Corolla Levin RHD JDM import for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 552 votes
Up for sale is my 1986 Toyota Corolla AE86 Levin.  
VIN number is AE865073479. This is a standard VIN in Japan. but not in the United States. However. there will be no trouble titling her.  

I had it imported into the States last year when I separated from the Navy. and now it's time for me to move to another country. Time to let my baby go.
The car is almost fully restored. The only part left to complete is the exterior. A new coat of paint is not necessary. but will complete the look. as there are a few minor scrapes and a dings.
Engine is completely revitalized. The engine itself is from an AE-92. and has higher compression. This means it requires super unleaded fuel (91 octane or above). There is an AFC fuel computer included. which is already installed.
Again. the engine is good to go. No leaks whatsoever. She also has a new water pump and new belts.
Other mechanicals: She has new Megan coil-overs. These are not very aggressive. and are in fact comfortable at their softest settings on the street. You can dial the dampening up to be more aggressive if you decide to track or autocross her. The main reason I installed these is because the originals were never replaced and were in bad shape. and I figured it best to just install some coil-overs.  
There is no rust anywhere on this car. except for some surface rust on the windshield wipers. Easily fixed. just sand the rust off and put on some black paint and you're good to go.
The car also has a Nardi steering wheel. which is signed.  
New Apexi exhaust. Low exhaust note. and is quite nice to hear in the high revs.
She has a Japanese cassette radio. Quite honestly. this is useless in the states since the FM station only goes up to about 89. 9. but it just adds to the JDM factor if you're into that.
The interior is fully complete. Inside is very clean: You will be very hard pressed to find an interior this clean and complete on an '86 in the states. This includes the privacy cover in the hatch area. There is some minor scraping on the ash tray.
Comes with a spare tire.
Current tires are Potenzas. Lots of life left in them.
Current mileage is about 183. 00 kilometers. That translates to about 113. 00 miles. Keep in mind that mileage on the engine is lower. but I do not know actual mileage on the engine. only the body.  
She's amazing to drive. Revs freely up to the redline and never quits. After the warm-up cycle. she idles steady at 8-900 RPM. Brakes are solid. but would need upgrading if you want to do anything besides cruise around with her.
Car is fully legal. both federally and by the state. If you have questions. I can direct you to the man who helped me import the Levin.  
This is your chance to own a very rare car in the States. A clean. right hand drive. JDM Levin is hard to find here. and I personally only know of one other person in the Mountain states that owns a similar one.  
DEFECTS:
Here are the following defects:
A few scratches and light dings. There is one noticeable ding on the driver's side front wheel well.  Paint is in good condition. just a couple minor scrapes. Rear spoiler is faded and is attached. but needs new bolts or a new spoiler altogether in order to make it like-new. When you open the trunk. you do not want to grab it by the spoiler; if you do. you may accidentally pull it off. though reattaching it is simple enough.
The hatch needs new air dampeners. The current ones are old and I never got around to replacing them; however. the dampeners are cheap and will be easy to install. Just keep in mind that you will need to hold the hatch open by hand until you do so.
Interior is nearly flawless. There is a bit of a water stain on the sunroof ceiling cloth cover. Sunroof does not leak anymore since it has a new seal.
No power-steering or AC. Lack of power-steering is negligible for this car. you can turn it easily when rolling and it is not hard at all to turn it from a stand-still. In my mind. these are not defects. but if you do live in a hot state you may want to install AC or keep the windows rolled down. The AC parts are installed. but I have not checked to see if the compressor needs to be swapped out with a new one.
Wheels are old and has some scrapes. but should be able to be repaired.  
Starting bid at $11. 00. Buy it now for 14000!
As for shipping. I can help you arrange that. Keep in mind that shipping costs vary. To give you an example. through a quick google search I found that shipping from Colorado to Florida would cost about a thousand dollars fully insured.
