11K? Well...the engine IS brand new, but don't think it would be worth THAT much.
How much DOES a new engine go for anyway? Ideas?

$11000 and a cheap aftermarket tape deck? If this guy sells this thing I am throwing mine up on ebay ASAP. I have a 77 924 with 56k original and I don't think I could get a third of that for it.

11,000.... US-freakin'-dollars.... and the reserve HASN'T been met yet.

This guy is a freak. 11G is what the car was worth when it was bought, not now. For Jesus Padilla's car maybe, but not a stock GSL.

Hey man they are collectors....didn't you know

It is a rediculous price. With a perfect interior, body and the right engine setup pushing good #'s would it be worth this.......otherwise I will keep my 11k.

And there's another thing to consider: the "new" engine.

Around here if you buy an engine from Mazda, it's not new, it's a rebuilt. And who does the rebuilds in this town for mazda? You gottit, Rx7Heaven. Those drunken biker monkeys who cheap you out at any point they can and use non-new parts wherever possible. I wouldn't trust a rebuild from them if you payed me to.

So the "new" engine *may* or *may not* be worth it's cashola, depending on who built it.

Now a 7 with perfect paint and no wheel well rust, with a good running engine, with everything in tune is probably worth what faye said... 5-6. You've gotta figure that the book value on these cars is less than 1k. This isn't even a GSL-SE!

A MINT condition -SE (like Manntis' Pamela was.. factory battery and everything) that hadn't been rain driven, but had kms put on it every year (like 5k/year) would be worth the high end like MAX 7-10g... but that's about it.
