How much would you pay for...

a MINT '80 rx7 with 59k on it and it's an "X aniversary" edition.

I'm going to see it in person tomorrow, just wondering what you guys
would pay for it. The X aniversary doesnt impress me much, but the
miles and condition do. Thanks .

Its totally dependent on condtition for me. If I was looking for a mint car it'd be worth 3k to me.

I think it also depends on the location, I saw a 1983 RX-7 GS in not the best condition with like 110K miles sell for $2700 dollars but that was in socal.

Was there something special about the car, or just badges?

Here's some info on the X aniversary:
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ht=Anniversary

Here's a link to a lot of pics of the car (Go here: http://www.timalauto.net/ then click on "Inventory" then click on the only FB you'll see). He wont take less than 3800. I'm going to see it today, but the pictures tell a pretty nice story. I'm not convinced that I want to spend 3800 on it though, but maybe seeing it in person and driving it will change my mind.

Thanks for the replies .

$3800 seems fair.

It looks great. It already has the black interior, with a great dash. Every thing looks real good.

But I would not buy it, Garage queen and take to car shows is all it would be good for.

You don't think this could be a fairly reliable car?

I bet it would be very reliable, But driving it kills the Value, Unless you can keep it Mint.

I drive my cars hard and love doing donuts, No way I would spend $3800 to do donuts in it. Maybe a sunday driver and cruse car.

Agreed: I would never drive a car like that daily. With my accident history, It'd be trouble waiting to happen!

I went to see it today, and it does not look that nice in person (although the engine was solid). Combined with shot tires and brakes, the car was not worth more that $2000 - $2500. Needless to say I didn't pay $3800 for it.

If the Tenth Anniversary you are talking about was for sale at Timal Automotive near Lancaster, it sold for $4000 to me and I love it.
