prices can vary a lot based on location, condition, mods, etc. its better to find something then post up about it and see if people think its a good price.

I concur. Whatever you are looking at, post it up and we can help you out. Good luck.

price range for TIIs: $1000 and up

price range for N/A- $0-up



its hard to say, but generally speaking if your paying over $3000-$4000 for either they should be in the better condition catagory, with a NA in that price range being in better shape then a TII in the same price range



there are of course people who find jems for cheaper, your best bet is to stumble on one local that you can drive, feel, and smell yourself.

Maybe you missed the whole SMOKE IS BAD...there's a reason why it's happening...



And if your new cars are rolling of the lot smoking, I feel sorry for the customers...

There's a difference between smoking and steaming... especially if its humid out, the car may appear to have some smoke out the pipes on startup. This could be just moisture in the exhaust system like rowtareh said.

Look for rust. Espicially if its a Northern car.



Prices seemed to have gone up for a perfect FC. I paid $3700 about 3 years ago for my 87 with 60K miles on it from the original owner. No mods, never driven in the winter (it was always stored in a heated garage on blocks). Absolutely no rust, even though it was from New York.



Now your looking at at least 4500 for one like that. As Shane and Rob-x7 stated, the price range is very dependant on alot of factors.

I agree.



Every engine does that when its cold out. Its just like being able to see your breath on a cold morning. If anything, smell it to see if it smells like coolant or oil. If it smells like a rotary, then your good to go https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

That is what I meant to say. Cold start up's will emit some amount of smoke. It is just the heat from the engine going through the exhaust, and coming into a colder enviroment.



****, it is like giving a cavity search when explaining something.

Tech_Greek 10-10-2005 02:05 AM

Oh ok, I thought you meant on a normal warm day...yeah on a cold day it's normal hehe...



I was hoping you didn't mean a normal day...phew no harm done

look in kelly blue book for pricing on each model. include all options that you can so you get a high price so you know what your limit is on that specific model/year. www.kbb.com is the website
