Is this normal now? People are going hog wild over T2's it seems. This car has 50 bids and is over $6k already with 7 days left. I know they are hard to find in nice shape but I didn't realize how much interest there was. I wonder if its because of the drift fetish. You guys could make a killing on ebay.



88 T2



The private party value of this car in excellent condition with 98k is $2950 according to kbb.

that auction is rigged

What!

that car is also in 90% better condition then most other TIIs, let

alone 88 TIIs, its one owner as well, with leather.



Hard to say if its worth that much money, but when you think about

the cars people get cheaper and how much work they end up needing

including rust, interior, etc.. then it makes you wonder.



I always say you pay now or you pay later.

that looks like a nice car

I have noticed the value of t2s have risen a ton.

dildo in my ass!

that's good then when it comes time to sell (never!) we can sell for a high price

Sell now before the market bubble pops! Don't be like those fools still holding tech stocks after the telecom crash!

A friend of mine just tried to sell his TII, couldn't get much more than 4800 CDN for it, it was for sale for a LONG time.

AND if the market value is going up so much for TIIs then why didn't FrestyleFC3S' S5 TII sell immediately? Buy it now price of $7K, and it has no longer in production Watanabe wheels, not to mention a ported and modded 13BT by ITO and a ******* HALTEC!!!

Come to MN where stock s4 t2s with over 100k on them go for $5k ! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

I guess it depends on the area..

they go for like 4 grand over here

its like saying FDs go up in value and are so precious, meanwhile

it takes forever for people to sell them

On this particular car, I don't really believe what is said about the HP. Will an HKS installed really jump the horsepower up to over 300 at the rear wheels? Did I miss something? And at only 7 pounds boost? And the statement that the Hks is unconnected 99% of the time because the "car is plenty fast without it" makes no sense to me. Sounds very fishy. Why would you not want to keep it connected?



Also the fact that it was rebuilt at 78K could be a problem at least to me. That says to me that the car has been run very hard and may be abused. I know, I know, these cars get rebuilt at different times for a lot of different reasons but for something that is so stock, I think it has been abused.



I know the Tii usually needs rebuilding sooner than an N/A but.....

yeah, the engine bay looked completely stock, i saw no "2 gauges" on teh interior anywhere, and he didn't say anything about the type of exhaust upgrade on the car.



i dont think 300 hp on 7 psi with stock or "Vato-zone" exhaust upgrades is possible. if it was, mazda would have done it in the first place.

I didn't even read it!



I thought it was some old dude selling it, it looks like it's in mint stock shape.



I guess it's some kid talkin' smack?

Actually there are two gauges in the lid of the ashtray right behind the shifter but still, I think the BS is a little deep in the description of this car.

2 gauges in the ashtray:

maybe the guy's HP claims are estimates, who cares anyhow- its not

like any of us will buy it, lol



he also says it has a black interior, that thing sure looks grey to me

Wow. That thing is really clean. From just that one picture I have seen.

me and carlos were just talking abou this the other day. cause someone hit him up at the gas station asking if he was selling his.

The owner states he used synthetic oil since new. That could be the cause for the early rebuild.



I think that car may have suffered a theft, cause that is not the original steering wheel, the whole column has prolly been swapped

Maybe he just went out and bought an S5 TII steering wheel?

It all matters about being at the right place, at the right time, with the right things done. It just takes 1 buyer who's willing to dish out the cash.

the market tanked for FCs in toronto. They were really really hot 1.5 years ago. I bought my 2 years ago. I couldn't turned a profit on my S5TII everyone was wanting one, but i didn't sell, and now i fi sell there is no way i could even get back what i paid for.

thats the same steering wheel that came stock in 1988

I paid $7500 for my TII 3 years ago. It had 53K miles and was spotless. It was bone stock except for a set of custom rims that were tha same size as stock with stock size tires.



The interior was perfect and is still very clean. The car was very well taken care of an garaged. I am the second owner of it.



Was it worth $7500?? No but I let my emotions get the best of me. It was the cleanest TII I had ever seen and I was not letting it pass by. I tried like hell the chew the guy down but he knew what he had and wasn't budging and I wasnt willing to take a chance and let someone else scoop it up. So $7500 it was.

and 40,000 later you have the fastest TII in the world

People sell RX-7's to cheap.... I'm telling you there isn't alot left to buy anymore, so if your selling get what its worth at least.... Look at the MR2's and Supra's, they go for huge money...



buy mine! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Every S4 TII ive seen (including mine) has had a leather wraped 2 spoke steering wheel. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

Then I guess they decided to give only the convertibles the best wheel

in the parts bin? That wheel is stock on S4 verts
