Another stupid "how much is it worth thread"

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?

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....

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.
