Billy,

AE86 is a perfect daily driver if you get an original car. I drive mine daily for almost 3 years now but I've got nice stiff suspension so its no longer a comfortable car. But technically these things take a lot of abuse and rarely let you down.
Rust is really your only enemy, if you get a good shell, the engine will last, the stock suspension is comfortable (though often warn but a nice set of shocks, springs and bushings doesn't have to be expensive), LSD could be an expensive repair if its acting up. All in all, if you want it as a daily driver, to get it back into good condition, isn't expensive, only when you want something that will be competitive, then the $$$ starts adding up fast
