1984 GSL-SE Value?
I’m not sure what to ask for it, I paid $800 for it this spring, added a radiator, tires, and a plethora of other parts… Figure I have about $1,200 to $1,300 in it. And ran almost an entire season of ER and Solo II with her, put about 1300 miles on it since I got it.
The car needs, a catalytic converter (to pass emissions down here), new springs, and shocks, ball joints and tie rods, I haven’t touched the brakes they work good but the pads are thin. The Clutch is thin, and could used replaced. The body is OK, no rust, but it has been in a wreck or two in her lifetime. The old 13B in her runs pretty darn good.
What do you guys think is a realistic asking price for my 1984 GSL-SE?

You selling it??? Going to get a new project, or just taking a break from it?

There is some sadness associated with this passing of the guard; I had big plans for the POS Racer. But I started to be concerned about the amount of cash that I was going to need to spend to make it a decent performing car for Solo II and ER.
Then, I saw the add in the paper for a Black 92 Miata, and figured I’d just go take a look at it, didn’t really figure I’d buy it. The nice lady (original owner) told me the price, and I replied would you take $****, and she said yes. And as they say on TV, “The Rest is History”.
Back to my initial question what do ya’ll think is a fair price for the POS Racer?
Have also been thinking about donating it to a charity, for a nice tax deduction next year. Has anyone ever done that?

>>If you do that you get the full blue book value of it. That'd probably be better than selling it for $1500 (what I'd ask for it). <<<
Only problem with this is there is no way writing 1500.00 off of your taxes will get you much in your pocket. Even if you figure a net profit of 300.00 (1500-1200=300) you won't get 300.00 cash in your hand from the tax write off. Better off selling it.
