Me and my rotary friend Aaron went to look at the FB again in the daylight and look under the hood. Its pretty well maintained....only problems we could find is that the exhaust has a hole in it....and the EGR is bad....but it runs and idles GREAT. Pulls hard too....its like its brand new lol. Also there is no engine leaks....good hoses....good belts....pretty nice. I got them down to $2500....but im sure i can get them down to at least $2200 which is ok with me. I meant to get pictures but forgot to grab the camera when we went to look at it.

Getting them down any lower likely will require cash in hand. It's amazing how well that can work, make an offer, and flash the cash, they'll usually wind up accepting it.

well under 2K for that car due to miles and exterior condition. i sold cars for years and ive bought many i passed an an SE that was in better condition due to the price and miles he wanted $2299 will say $2300 and i passed on it so think carefully about this one. also factor in doing an engine rebuild soon i know it can get pricey but your going to have to think about this. find out if the guy has done any spirited driving or if he has raced it at all check the exhaust to see if it has a racing beat installed. if any of this is there dont buy it and find you a better taken care of car

The car is owned by an older couple....and they only drive it to get from A to B....stock exhaust and its VERY well maintained. Started right up every time we started it and idled at just under 1k w/o any kind of idle surge.

Great clutch...shifts perfect....good tires....power mirrors work...power antenna works....power windows work....perfect interior. Just needs a paintjob, some exhaust work which was planned anyway, EGR blocked off, and window tint....

83rx

i guess i got a good price on my 83 then, my pait is not the best and it needs some tlc but i got it for 750 and so far the only things i have replaced/rebuild where the slave and master cyclinders for the clutch and a few tires, other then that what i replaced was just for fun. almost for got, it had 132,xxx on it when i got it i have put almost 10,000 since i got it.

Im going on tuesday to pay the people for the fb....got them to go down to $2200 which is cool with me....cant wait to have it.

TeamSMS

I picked up the car on tuesday....got it for $2200...probably worth less but i couldnt pass it up....you never find these locally in this good of shape. Only problems i am fixing is the exhaust leak and the lower oil cooler line is leaking. Ordering a stainless braided line kit next week probably...also changed the oil and got a K&N drop in filter today. I will keep everybody updated more to come!!! Also i will try to get pics but have to borrow a digi from a friend.

$2500

TeamSMS

Thats what you think its worth? Well the blue book value of it was like $2150 with normal paintjob wear and interior wear...so i paid $2200 which IMO is not bad still. Runs great and im fixing the oil leak problem next week hopefully....its the upper oil cooler line and im just going to replace both with SS braided lines.

as long as you are happy with the buy, but after all that post some pic's of this thing let us see it was a good deal.

I will try to get some pictures tonight....depends on if i can use my friends digi today. The only problems i can find with it are: exhaust leak (gasket), needs paintjob (very cheap for me), oil cooler line leak and it needed a tune up...which it is getting. I have already got a new K&N filter, recharge kit for filter, going to flush & fill radiator next week, changed oil and filter, getting SS braided lines for oil cooler next week, new spark plugs next week along with maybe plug wires but they might have to wait. Also im going to pull the radiator out and go get it cleaned and re-sprayed black.

And for some reason the people that owned it before put nissan wheels on it or they bought it with the wheels on it....they are 15" OLD nissan wheels with fairly new 205 tires.
