Repairable, Salvage and Damaged Toyota 86 for Sale
Showing results 1 - 17 of 17
17 Toyota 86 coupes for sale across 17+ Copart locations – model years 2017–2020, avg. mileage 83,000 mi. 29% clean title, 71% salvage; Front End is the top damage (71%). Bids start at $200, and value depends more on transmission choice and modification history than on any single average price.
When Toyota retired the Scion brand at the end of 2016, this car didn't disappear – it lost the FR-S badge and came back for 2017 as the Toyota 86, with a mild power bump and suspension tweaks but the same basic platform underneath. Too few pass through this pool to build a meaningful average, and the ones that do trade mostly on transmission and how the previous owner drove it. Front End leads the damage board at 71%. Most that sell stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
It carried the FA20 flat-four through its whole run, an engine co-developed with Subaru and shared with the BRZ, and this generation is the one to watch for rod-bearing wear if the service history is thin – Toyota addressed that specific weakness by moving to a larger FA24 when the GR86 replaced this car for the 2022 model year. Being rear-wheel drive on a light unibody, a side hit or spin-related rear damage racks the chassis in ways that don't always show up in a photo, so budget for an alignment check regardless of what the listing claims. Manual-transmission cars remain the ones enthusiasts chase, and that preference holds even among wrecked lots, so expect a stick-shift 86 to draw more competitive bidding than the automatic. A shell that's not worth repairing still has value as a parts and drivetrain donor, since running gear interchanges with both the earlier FR-S and the BRZ built alongside it.
Buying is quick: register free – no dealer license – set a maximum bid and the system bids up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
FAQ
What condition are these 86s in?
About 17 lots, 71% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads at 71%, and given how few trade here, check each 86 coupe listing individually rather than expecting a typical one.
Is a salvage 86 worth buying?
Often yes on a clean manual car without signs of hard track use, since the FA20 engine and rear-drive chassis have a solid reputation. There's no reliable price average here – too few trade – so weigh transmission and service history over any single figure. Compare against a clean-title 86 before you bid.
What should I check before bidding?
Ask about oil-change intervals and any known rod-bearing history on the FA20 engine, especially on a car with an unclear past. Check the chassis and alignment points after any side or rear hit, since it's a light unibody. Cross-check the title brand against the photos.
Can I insure and register a salvage 86?
Not while it's salvage-titled. You register and insure it only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection; once re-titled rebuilt, most insurers will write it, just not the company that totaled it. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check an 86's history before bidding?
Every lot lists the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents and title events, and look closely at the photos for signs of track use.
What are good alternatives to the 86?
The Subaru BRZ runs the identical platform and drivetrain, so it's the most direct cross-shop. If you'd rather have the car this one replaced, the earlier Scion FR-S is mechanically the same. The Mazda MX-5 is worth a look too if a roadster works instead of a coupe, and Toyota's own turbocharged, all-wheel-drive GR Corolla is worth a look for a different take on performance.
