I wouldn't pay more than 4000 for ANY FC. Find one that's in fair condition and cheap and just fix it up with all that left over money. IMO none are worth more than 4500 stock.

 

okay i've wisened up in the past day and now i have somewhat of a grasp for what i should be paying. I'm very happy i found this forum before i did something stupid.

 

give that 8k to kevin lander ^ owner of RotaryResurrection i'm sure he can build you one nice enough and quick

 

Are you finding these cars at dealerships? They tend to really be expensive that way.

 

DAmn straight, thank God you came here.

with 3000 get full exhaust, cone filter, safc, wheels and tires, new paint (if needed) and if you have some leftovers, buy a ham and celebrate

 

 

ill hit your legs, dont buy it.

 

My rule of thumb when i bought my fc.
As follows:

N/A S4(86-88) $2250 +/- $250
N/A S5(89-91) $2600 +/- $300

TII S4(86-88) $3200 +/- $500
TII S5(89-91) $3600 +/- $500

All these prices are for stock, good condition.

I got my N/A S4 for $1500 in NYC. If you have the patience then you can find the ideal car for you. I remember I was about to jump into a 240sx (Fair Condition) for $1800 except when I started bargaining price, the car died and never started again. lol, i got saved that time.

Hope this helps.
