86 is still relatively new. Depreciating seems to be hitting it quite significantly but if you want it for 18k then you'd have to keep waiting another year or two I'd say.
Unless you get super super lucky and someone offers you for around that price if you factor in the haggling room. You should be able to shave off around 1-2k off the asking price.
If someone is selling one for around 18k and it seems too good to be true, then chances are it is.
Get your mechanical inspections done and don't be a dummy.
Look out for an ex rental, I've had three of these and surely devalued them :)
You will need to look at anything before early 2013, where there hasn't been suspension, ECU and antenna updates. Also when the base model didn't have the electronic speedo.
Honestly though I don't need the value of used, unless you absolutely must get the lowest dollar. Brand new base manual can be had for $31k and these 2015/2016 models come with much more equipment and upgrades than the old stuff.
Suggesting that someone should stretch their budget from 18k to 31k is ridiculous.
Is it really? High KMs to fit OP's budget would assume a big service of $2k, likely to need new wheels $1k, new brake pads installed $600, likely registration expiry nearing $700 and other stuff to get in good condition totaling $4k-$5k.
Versus a brand new updated vehicle that's guaranteed for 3 yrs, capped price servicing, better performance, and more equipment like GPS, reverse camera and electronic speedo. And then all that said and done you'd be able to sell it for more 3 years from now.
The 86 has a premium attached to it because of young driver demand, used isn't necessarily better value. In other words if you're scrapping bottom barrel budgets, don't bother, you'll likely buy a lemon.
You missed the cost they will have to add for the doof doof accessories to pimp it out. God i feel old now
Have you checked redbook wholesale value? Is 18 realistic compared to trading in?
Perhaps leave polite offers with selllers and they can call you if their expectations lower to yours.
You'll need to go private seller. seems you know the advertised price for these models. Best is to haggle lower, there is no such thing as legit a car selling for 'too cheap'. Most know the value of their cars when listing anyway.

Look for an older model with a lot of km and haggle like no tomorrow.
How much would insurance cost for a P Plater for a Toyota 86 ?
A lot. Probably looking at over 2k? This is of the top of my head, do some online quotes with NRMA, AAMI, GIO, JustCar, etc.
one that has been in a bingle?
Sure, higher kms and/or older year will make it cheaper. If you buy one near the 90k service, you have to factor in 2k for the service.
Buying privately is cheaper, but make sure you understand the risks involved (i.e. is the car financed or is there something wrong with it)
Alternatively, you can buy one that has been hail damaged. I saw a brand new 2014 model go for around 22k earlier this year.
Downside is that it is damn hard to get full insurance, and your car looks like a golf ball.
