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.

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.

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
