Unhappy How much is she worth?

What do you guys think a Good condition 1979 RX-7 with stock port 12A, stock everything, minus the emissions and air pump, etc, and it's got a recent engine, no smoke (decided to stop when I topped the oil up), newer tranny, good body, a few MINOR dents (nothing bigger than a nickle), and it's got good rubber all the way around. It's got a rear deck spoiler, and a front air dam, and comes with newer ('83) seats, and side ground effects.

Here are some pics:







Any estimates?

Knowing the BC climate, esp. the interior around Kamloops, the condition of the vehicle you show, and the tasteful upgrades including body colored air dam, white face gauges, etc. I'd put it in the $2,000 to $3,000 range, CDN.

Hmmm... almost doesn't sound like it's worth selling it now... does it? I was hoping to sell it to pay off my loans (ugh) and then perhaps buy another rex in a few months (for summer).

Just on a side note, she was never winter driven, and isn't badly rusted anywhere (any more). I fixed the wheel well rust, and there's now NO rust ANYWHERE on the car... I pulled up all the carpet to verify that...

Still, there's near-mint 12a's in Vancouver for around $2,000 - $2,500.

If you're interested in selling it you can toss it on http://www.stuffsmart.com - sales are done via email or phone from the site so you could always see how many people call if you list it for $3,500 or $4,000.

I own the site so I can gurantee you a free listing

jeez, what else do you own/sell? Are you part Native? No offense to those who are native out there, just seems like every one I see around here has 15 cars on their lot, trying to sell all of them...

Heheh - nope, just Asian & white. Think "Metis Light"

I own a couple of websites & a retail store. Helps to pay for car parts between film gigs.
