I was thinking of offering him around 6500- 7000 does this sound right???
the car does have over 200k on body and probly around 40-45k on the motor and transmission

That is way to much on the body I would think hard about even buying it.

Just thought I'd reply...It sounds as if there is no work needed on the car. If that is the case, and the body, tires, and interior are in great shape I'd say the $6500 is a good ballpark price.
Just remember that the J-Spec engine installed in 2000 was an used engine, so mileage is questionable. Of course every engine that comes from Japan is advertised with 30/35,000 miles and in excellent condition!!
Good Luck

The newest FC is 13 years old. Good luck finding anything under 100k miles.

For an 89-91 turbo car, anything between $4000-8000 is normal, depending on condition, mods, etc. I think I'd get it down to around 5 or 5500, with those chassis miles though.

Let us know if you get it! Sounds like a very nicely done car. To me it would be worth upwards of what you suggested, 6000 or 6500. Just beware. If he really doesn't want to get rid of the car, no offer would be enough. Try not to get your hopes up!
