Well this guy thinks it is.

Big laugh!

 

Maybe he just woke up from a 17 year sleep.

 

MmmmmKay.
Maybe 3K.

 

oh hell NO!

 

I'd love it if it did sell for that.

 

Depends. Only if there is a good looking, low maintenance babe included with it.

 

I was going to say "YES"--- until I noticed that it didn't have a turbo'd 20B conversion with T-II transmission and Ford 9" diff. Also missing was the GSL-SE suspension and brake upgrade (with vented and drilled discs), Chip Foose custom wheels, 2nd gen power rack&pinion steering retrofit and leather.

All of the above would make it worth 12K. But then again, all of the above would cost 20K (or more) to do.

But as it stands this car isn't even an SE--- it has the original 12A, and is exactly what I'm currently driving. I'd go $2000 U.S. tops.

 

No way. The GSL-SE on eBay is in better condition, and will go for ~1/3rd of what this numerically-challenged person is asking. This is a $2,500 car on a good day, given it's east coast location--lots of 7s out east, IMO.

 

Waiter!! I'll have whatever he's having!!

 

can you say typo? probably 1200.00.

 

Guys come on ease up... He hit the zero one too many times.

 

Very nice car. I would buy it for $1200.

 

Not likely. It's worth more than $1200, and by the way he's bragging it up it seems he knows this. Unfortunately he also has an elevated sense of the car's true value.

 

Depends what part of the east coast. They are extremely rare around here, and in good condition might be worth $4,000-6,000. I have looked at a few of the $1,000 cars and they needed ten times that amount of work. It's hard to make a judgment about that particular car without seeing it.

 

you may be right. i watched a guy pay 3 million for an oldsmobile last weekend.

 

I paid 3K for mine with less miles and in just as good of condition


You have to admit, that car is pristine!


I just noticed somthing, how'd he take that pic of the top of the car?

 

1/4-inch thick gold plated I hope...

 

all I'll say is.....he needs to pass it here and quit bogarting it

 

Mine had 68k on it looks just like that one , but was bone stock and still is ,and I paid 500 for it , and another with 150k for 400. that is my parts car but still driveable. so 12000 NFW

 

Its true there are many 7's on the East Coast here to pay nearly what he's asking for that. I have 2 7's that I got for under a grand and a guy is selling me a near mint condition 83 for $400, well it has no motor but still the body and interior is in fantastic shape!! and I have a spare motor.

 

I'm not sure its a typo! He actually put the comma in there, so he knew how many zeros where coming after.

 

If he dropped a ported turbo 13B w/ RB H to T in it, added a Mariah Mode One kit & kick *** sound I'd pay that no problem.

 

You're going too easy on him. See my above post about the 20B conversion.

 

I have seen them sell for $3,000 in worse condition. Good original condition cars are hard to find. For a few years I was inspecting what few were offered for sale in this area. The inexpensive cars were very run-down in all aspects. They generally looked rough overall and either had scratched, faded original paint, or some Maaco special with overspray everywhere and the side trim not even removed for painting. The paint might look good at 50 feet, but it chips or scratches easily and up close looked like it was applied by high school shop class with a toothbrush. The interiors often had rips in the seats, worn carpeting, and scratched and faded plastic parts. Engines were dirty and leaking with mediocre compression at best. The hoses all needed replaced, the exhausts were rusty, the steering and suspensions were loose, and the bushings and bearings mostly needed replaced. To properly fix everything that was wrong would easily cost over $12,000. Parts and labor are not cheap. An engine alone can be $3,000 and up, without turbos or labor to install it, and a good paint job costs $5,000-$8,000. A $500 jalopy might be worth no more than $200, but some of the RX-7s offered for sale at $35,000-$40,000 are worth it.

 

ummmm ok thats a joke, i have the original sales reciept for my car from the original owner. The car brand new in 1985 was $18,000 canadian, thats a joke though 12000, can just buy a third generation for that
