Fd3BOOST

A 94 with 108k on the chassis. I would not expect more than $13500=$14000 at best. Personaly I would not pay over 10-11k for a car with that high of milage on the chassis.



I have owned two that I had on the road. The first Fd I bought it 1999. It was a 93 base model. Had 68k on the chassis and I paid $13750 for it. It was bone stock and very clean. I bought that car from the original owner with all the service records.The second one I bought was a 93 touring. Got it for $16500 and it had 39k on the odometer when I bought it in 2000. That car was also near mint and bone stock. I bought that car from the second owner. It also came with a large folder full of the service records. Your car has been modified which drops the price and it has high milage. It's not going to bring in big bucks. You are also better off selling the mods and putting the car back to stock. You will make more money that way.

Ive thought aboot selling too.. I don't think you can really "replace" the FD. It's seriously in a world of it's own. Sure, they can be a pain to maintain, but there's nothing like them.



That said, I've been looking into Porsches.. I really like that little Boxer or Boxter POS.. whatever.. I drove one and they aren't bad. SLOW though. If I thought I could get a 996 motor to work in one, I'd be all over it. NSX was my other option, but I'm not sure I could handle another car that people would be "OOOH, what is that?"..



For now I think I'll stay FD. It's paid off and I dropped the insurance.. So I'm looking at options for it. 3 rotor is on the list (course, I haven't got a 2 rotor to work yet!).. who knows..



Why don't you get a Vespa Zach. We can get s T-66 to fit on it I'm sure!

boostdfd3s

Yeah, there really isnt a direct replacement for the FD and its def a love/hate relationship. Every car ive compared as of yet, something is lost in the transition. A 993 Porsche would be amazing, but 13qt oil changes, leaking heads, etc. Similar maintanence nightmares if you get a bad one.



haha a vespa! I was at a Pontiac dealer looking for C5's and GTOs, but they were all automatics. I told the guy my FD was faster than a vette and i was looking for a stick...so he recommends a Suzuki Grand Vitari 5spd.



EDIT: Justin, a 996 motor will drop into a Boxster with some shoehorning. Thats what the RUF 3600S is. Im sure others have done it as well

9BASE3

OOOoohhhh! Neato. Guess it's time to start looking for the motor?

20bPlease

get rid of that piece of **** man... really youdont need it... just gonna drag you down and blow up on you one day... on another note i'll take it of your hands for a couple g's

Shane.Trammell

go with the m coupe, just look how sexy these things are.



look at that lip!





prob handles close to the fd, and has over 300 hp!

PhoenixDownVII

LOL are you joking?



Those things are ugly. Look at that rear shot, looks like a swelling bruise.



The front looks chopped off a Z3 yet the rear half looks like a CRX/Wagon chop.



May drive/handle great and have power, but I've never liked the way it looked, ever.

Shane.Trammell

i think thats how most people feel, but for some reason i like em a lot
