Ok, 2nd gen guys need some help here. I am working out yet another trade for my 3rd gen. This is one possible trade, i'm kinda looking forward to it cause I can at least stay in a rotary. But i'm trying to get the best estimate of value for the car. Its an 89 vert with 68k miles on the original engine. Only has a few minor blemishes on the car, has a tII hood.

 

1000 for trade of course im a used car dealer

 

Depending on what kind of shape it is in. Low end would be $3000 top dollar $5500.



My friend just bought a 91 Vert for $4000 and it needed a top and a radiator otherwise the car was very clean.

 

Yea Jims about right..

 

eww no vert rims?



kevin.

 

yeah, what Jim said



it also depends on condition of top and the seats.

 

Yeah thats what I was kinda thinking. I doubt its going to work though. He was thinking a trade plus 11.5k and i'm at 14k.

 

how much you selling it for, cause if it was mint then id figure $5500 for it, and then plus 11.5 would be at 17 nicely. but that doesnt look "mint" but hard to tell.

I just figured 4k into 18k for my car. I don't know, I might work on the price a little bit.

 

it boils down to what the car is worth to you, I would stop thinking

all these crazy trades and maybe try harder to sell the car locally.



Personally I would be more likely to spend $18,000 on a car that I could

go check out by driving for a hour or so to look at it. Maybe go a couple

of times.



Most people shopping for FDs are on the pipe and waste people's time

because they dont realize how hard it really is to get loan for a car that

old. They dont factor in the insurance either.



So they internet shop for cars, people who answer ads in the paper are usually serious shoppers and not people who sit on the computer too long and get hypnotized into thinking they can buy a FD for $18000
