Just to chime in on the point in the video about rust on the 86 versus the s2000, it depends entirely on where the cars spent most of its life, if the s2000 was bought from a location with consistently better weather it will fare a lot better.

I say this having worked on a friends 2004 S2000 a few years ago with him, that spent most of it's life in the UK, and it was rusted so bad he was handing me tools through the hole in the floor.
Meanwhile, the ST185 celica I imported from Okinawa in 2010, was coming up on 19 years old and was clean as a whistle underneath.
Weather and owner maintenance play a huge part in how long a car lasts.
