Hehehe, have to agree, just like any other 20+ year old car on the market, unless it's been fully restored, they brake, it's as simple as that. Parts ware out, there is nothing you can do to stop it. Still Toyota made some damn good cars back then and besides rust, often repairs are cheap to do with few exceptions (like the rear axle, thats an expensive repair).

Robo's price tag is currently true for Holland when you look at 2 door Levins. If you search good 2000 euros will buy you a nice car that runs good but probably will need some body work here and there (they rust, especially in dutch climit). Try to find a 3door or Trueno and the price becomes higher. Also the car is getting more name and are harder and harder to find, so the price is starting to rise.

For other EU countries, very simply put, in UK you can expect to pay over 5000 euros for the same car you buy for 2000 euros here. Denmark the prices are also over 3500 euros and up. I have no idea what a car will cost in your country, prices very alot depending on availablity and popularity of the car.

In the end though, unless you are crazy enough (like some on this board) to strip the car bare and build it from the ground up with new or referbisched parts, or just buy one wich has been restored like that, you will always have to realize the car is over 20 years old and parts of the car are simply worn out and will brake.
