'91 Convertible Non-Turbo Manual - What to do?
Hey everyone. I haven't posted on here since I first inherited my father's '91 convertible back in December of 2012. The reason why I'm back on here is because I am thinking I should sell it. It's been a second car for me for 6 years, but I've changed careers where I can't afford a second car. I moved out of state, and poor Rex (her name) has been sitting in my Mom's garage for over a year, with my Mom running her for half an hour once a week to keep her going. The few times that I have been back to visit, I drive her around, but it really pains me to have this car not being run/cherished. I didn't think that I would ever sell her, which makes this all incredibly difficult for me.
Any thoughts/opinions regarding how I should go about this? Rex has ~45K original miles (I didn't get the exact number when I drove her at Thanksgiving, it might be 44,XXX), most of her service records, clean Florida title, etc. She used to be perfect, but is sadly no longer. She had a bicycle fall on the hood in the garage a couple of years ago (and has a couple of small dents on the hood now), plus the fuse has been pulled for the horn, because it would go off at random times. Should I try to get her all fixed up before selling? Would it be worth it? I don't really know where to start, but I remembered joining this club when I first took ownership of her, and thought this would be a good place to get some advice. Thank you in advance! |
honestly if you dont even use it really. and its 45k original miles. id honestly just keep it. how much can it really cost you just keep it garaged?

the horn going off at random times- was the car off? may have been the factory alarm
whats the color combo of this car? |
The car was on/being driven at the time.
Color combo is red body, black top. My apologies for the long delay in response. I didn't receive any notification that I received any replies. :( I was just down in Florida last week, and took her out for a drive. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e71283646.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cbd4b5cea.jpeg |
i dont see the dents in the hood, a detail and a paintless dent guy might get that thing looking as good as new again, then I would ask $6500 for the car and see where it goes. Maybe if it cleans up good consider putting it on Bring a trailer with a reserve if you are nervous about the auction
see if this brings up past auctions with rx7 convertibles: https://bringatrailer.com/search/rx7+convertible/ |

I agree with Rob's price assessment, even though it is in great shape it's not a collector vehicle or highly sought after. Bring a Trailer may yield the bets results. |
