what's a good barganing price for these cars?

FlukeSDS 05-25-2004 09:27 AM

Well that kinda depends on the car itself ...

Authentic 05-25-2004 09:40 AM

ok i would take a n/a doesn't have to be a TII and uhh you know some wear 80K+ miles..?

FlukeSDS 05-25-2004 10:20 AM

Sorry I thought you already had one that you were interested in ... Well I paid $4500 U.S. for my '88 SE with 37k original miles. Although, I bought it in Utah and had to have it shipped to Canada ... So all in all I paid almost $10000 CDN. Which I think is a good price for what I got.

CrassFC3S 05-25-2004 01:31 PM

uhhh i paid 1000 for mine haha.... doing a turbo2 swap so i didnt car the apex seals blew because the body and interior is in awesome shape and soon i will be selling front fenders headlights and parting out the motor and selling the tranny =D

I payed $2,200 for mine which I thought is a steal, no one around here sells them or has one so I think im very lucky. Its in pretty decent condition, paint was good, Kinda high milage, Had a blown turbo gasket but thats all other than that I am happy for what I payed. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

bought my 91 n/a with 140 or 150K on chassis with replaced used engine (at ~90K) for $2125. engine recently crapped out (177,7XX miles).

you can get em for as cheap as $300 running to $7000 running. and i'm sure there's bigger extremities both ways.

Its all realative. Toatly car, location, person dependent. My dad bought 2 n/a's for 3k (1parts car 1 good car)and now ill be selling them in better condition for less than that.

Bought mine for 1500. Needed new tires, struts,rotors(still not replaced),new brake pads,needs oil cooler lines still(haha, I am a slacker). My 88 SE is in good condition. The clear coat is coming off of the sunroof and fading badly, and same thing with the door. Has small dings that are repairable. Needs a new paint job pretty much(wait to see an Innocent Blue Mica FC woot woot). Some interior things wrong, not too bad, just needs to be steam cleaned. Engine had 166,xxx miles on it when bought. I just ticked past 168,000 miles and it still pulls fine for a stock N/A.



My advice, is to watch the pennysaver, or your local paper advertisements. People will sell them not knowing what they have.



And after all that money, it has been WORTH IT. Trust me. They are bad ass cars, turbo'd or not. TII's are more problematic than an N/A for obvious reasons.



I had to wait a year until I could get mine. Most of that was because of my parents. But they gave in and realized I can take care of it. I have done all the maintenance on the car minus putting the struts in.



Good Luck.

SAVE AND WAIT TO GET A T2!!!! If you intend to make REAL power, you'll need one. It'll cost WAY more than a T2 to make hella power on a NA. I have an 88 with bpu and I'm still slow as balls. You'll be able to take most of the pepboys crowd, but it wont beat the v8 guys.

Lionheart240 05-25-2004 11:38 PM

I'll sell you mine: $5,500 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

There was a primo White 91 Turbo II for sale with 7,000 original miles.

It sold for 8,000. It was soo clean, like new.



I bought my FC for 2,700 with a rebuilt engine and new paint.

A good condition N/A is worth probably about $2500-$3000. A TII is worth $4000 -$5000 depending on miles and mods. I got extremely lucky and got my TII with a well running engine for $1000, but thats rare. Search long enough and you can find a similar deal though.

I got my 91 N/A for $4500 and it was clean. I really want a TII though

j9fd3s 06-19-2004 10:20 PM

i bought mine for $200, it was rough though

NCTII87 06-21-2004 11:40 AM

if you're on the east coast and you're looking for a car, let me know. the guy i got mine from has like some kinda RX7 finder in his brain. he collects and sells them like pennies. he's always got atleast one or 2 around. PM me and i'll give you his number. i know he's got a red T2 he wants like 1500 for now that needs a fuel pump.

mazdaspeed7 06-21-2004 12:23 PM

My GTU is for sale. Ill have an ad up on the for sale section in a few days when I get it all cleaned up and take pics. Its a 90 GTU with a rebuilt and ported 6 port engine, and a ton of S5 turbo parts. The suspension, wheels, brakes, driveline, subframes, and interior are all from an 89 TII. Black on black. The full details will be in the ad.

spaceman Spiff 06-21-2004 04:22 PM

dont get the wrong impression from these guys saying n/a cant make power. they can just needs money to make power.
