I hate these as much as you do.... But...

Came across this car and was thinking of picking it up.. Details are as follows.

1990 Convertible.

Its got an ACT stage 2 clutch, walbro racing fuelpump, godspeed front mount intercooler and piping. greddy type rs II bov and manual boost controller, air/fuel guage, water temp and oil temp guage. greddy turbo timer and apline mp3/cd player. coilovers installed on the front. full 3" turbo back exhaust. a/c and power steering both have been removed. also has a cosmo boost sensor and s5 fuel cut defensor. the new motor and tranny only have 25,000 miles on it. the body has 65,000.

The engine is an S5 jpec, and the car is pretty clean due to the low miles. It needs a rear end (still has stock rear) and the car currently will not start hasnt run since the conversion. I can get just about any rotary running.

Shoot some #s out there.. I am going to go over there with some cash...

 

Where's the picture? lol

Hmm, sounds nice, but the "not running" thing should work in your favor. 3k should get the ball rolling.

Btw won't that cut into the "FD fund" ?

 

Eye on the prize! Go for the FD. I'll help you out by taking those mesh wheels off your hands for $250 eh?

 

you shoulda asked for a price then low balled the crap out of em so you dont burn up that fd money, then turn around and sell it for a good amount more, i did that with my vert, bought it for a grand and sold it for nearly 2 haha

 

Well the FD fund is doing ok, I am still trying to sell my Mustang, so that will add more to the fund, plus i sold my T2... So it won't kill me to drop a couple thousand on another FC....lol..


I am holding out on an FD until I find a gem.. I am going to be picky because it is going to BE my LAST Rotary purchase. Ever.. I am on # 22 now. It's a little rediculous.

FD, maybe an FC and a rotary miata....

 

4-5 grand? not running can really hurt a seller.

 

a running one goes for $3500-4500 around here i would low ball around $2.5k (who knows what problems it really has)

 

for an S5 vert with a TII swap and those mods???

 

Cool.. i will post up some updates saturday.

 

who knows what kind of problems it has, rx7 just arent worth any $$ these days
i was just in the market for a fc in the 3-4k range i had 3-4 TII's with mods that ran that people where trying to sell me. (i got a mint 85k org. n/a for a DD )

not a vert but

$7k TII vert (he's been trying to sell since april...lol)

yeah, i guess so....

Its just a shame that the price for these are dropping so much.

 

if it was running i would say its worth 5-6 grand. not running maybe 2 or 3

 

3000-3500 sounds fair not running, if exterior and interior are clean. I'd ask for a compression test first to get a better idea.

 

i don't know where you guys are from, but not running in CA gets a lowball offer of $800-$1k here.

 

not factoring mods and miscellaneous parts that is.

 

super clean T2 verts that are S5 as well go for a little more than a reg. T2

 

$2750 is his lowest dollar (that is the loan value on the car) he has to pay the thing off..... huh... still contemplating.

 

do that ****..you can at least part it out for close to purchase price if not more anyway..everyone loves a new car to bring home here and there right? keeps us young and entertained
