I just bought a 87 n/a

The good:
~has a new reman mazda motor sitting in the back in the crate
~Came with a brand new MOMO steering wheel
~Has a K&N filer charger system on it
~has GXL wheels
~Had 2 old school 500 watt rms rockford fosgate amps from 1997 in mint working shape
~eibach lowering springs

The bad:
needs a clutch
needs a power brake booster
needs new brake pads
doesnt need paint but its being painted now(body is flawless no rust or dents)

how much should i have paid for this car???


ill tell ya later

 

maybe $1000

 

eeek 1000
just in new stuff that came with the car the price is well over 3000

 

i didnt pay that much though
i paid 1500, sold both amps for 225 apiece, and have 1100 in the car as it sits

 

I think the key was: sitting in the back in a crate.

a non running FC is seldom worth more than $900, the fact that you have to assemble it yourself doesn't help no matter how new (or old) the parts are.

Toss in some of the other stuff like wheels (the car was supposed to come with wheels) and the useless amps (only valuable to the person that put them in)... and see its just not worth that much.

I might have gone up to $1500 if the body and interior were in excellent shape.

 

Here in CT it is worth 1500-2000

 

Well.....I'd have paid more than you guys are talking about just for the Mazda Reman. motor (assuming it's new). So...I'd say 2000.00 would be a good price IF you can do the engine install yourself.
