What do you mean worst of all its a vert.....The value of a clean low milage vert cost more than a turbo too. Actually for the milage and condition about 8,000 is a decent price of one of those. Instead of talking smack...do your research....I've seen verts sell for 9,000

I 100% agree with the guy above me, that is a pretty good deal for a s5 vert with only 48k org miles. it is all stock not raced or abused. the verts have the highest resale value of any 2nd gen, granted it is a auto. I think the guy that posted this add is a complete idiot. He wants to get 6k for his N/A give me a ******* break. also don't you know that mods bring the value of your car way way down. I would never purchase a 7 that had been modded or molested. know your facts b4 you post a stupid *** thread like this one.

let me just add that 8000 is the buy it now price. You have no idea how much the reserve is for and the bid is already at 4,500. How about we watch this auction and see howmuch it gets to. Its not the seller hows crazy....its the buyer.

Yea I totally agree with eraumazda. A low mileage mint vert on average is more or equal to t2s mint. The vert is a cruising car so an automatic is not really a necessity for verts IMO and does not reduce the value. I really dont like any verts though just my personal preference.

Verts rule!

Turbo II drivetrain converted ones are the sweetest 2nd gen made imo...

Why they didn't sell them here is a complete mystery to me...

That is fine! Look on KBB for what it should go for. My '91 'vert with 76,000 miles is worth somewhere around that. 'verts are worth more than TIIs.

My only issue with his ad is "Never raced or abused" Come on, its a damm sports car. Get a few beers in anyone here and your going to find out about that Kill they remember most or ripping thorough some back roads. Never Raced/Abused is for the Miata crowd.

lol, I'm about to go on a miata trip with my friend he's into miatas so I'm along for the ride. I really don't know what they are like until tomorrow but hopefully some will have turbos anyways I really like the look of verts but wouldn't wanna buy one, to me its just doesn't have the feel of a turbo throughing you back in the seat and watching that honda from the rearview mirror....ahhhhhh can't wait till my restoration is complete!!!
