dunno how much everyone needs, but im sure its probalby more than an N/A can give them.

 

I honestly dont want a TII. Sounds stupid, but this is my first rotary, and 2nd vehicle ive owned (first was a 97 stang GT... sooo glad to get rid of that.)

Im not all that interested in going super super fast. Ive rode in the car im purchasing, and honestly, its fast enough for my pleasure, but I would be interested in a little bit more... which I guess Im at a porting job now. The S-AFC has yet to be tuned, but thats only an additional ~10~ HP... but with that, in addition to true duals, in addition to getting rid of all the emmissions, in addition to a port....... it adds up, and I think that would put me where I want.

I have yet to find a good S5 N/A in my area, I wanted one with a good exterior and interiror... this has that. The fender problem is really just some paint chipping off from hitting a branch and it flying up or something.......

 

Wow, that bad eh?

 

If you can talk him down to about 3k, get it. Otherwise stay away.

 

agreed.

 

T2 !!!!

 

ask him y he put the safc on it in the first place you really didnt mention any kinda mod that would require that

maybe there is some porting dont that he didnt mention

 

You keep talking about getting a porting job, which means a rebuild of sorts. You would be much better off finding a car in good shape that has a blown (or nearly blown) engine. You will obviously pay much less, and you could then get your engine rebuilt and ported, with the difference in money.

 

I would only get it if you absolutely love that color and love everythibng about the car

I would say 3k seems about fair...

 

It's hard enough to find a S5 of any sort within 200 miles of here, that would be next to impossible, as would finding a S5 TII in decent shape.

 

Like I said, Its worth it to me, so I think Im going to go ahead and get it, but atleast now I have a good figure to bargain with

Thanks,
Jonathan

 

Talk him down as much as you can. It's in good shape, but it's not worth 4500.

 

wow now I cant wait to sell mine, woohooo maybe I can buy a turboII with the money





1989 GTU
manual trans
108k on chassis
64k original on tranny, rear end, engine "swap from 89GXL"

 

btw I sold this 87 GXL for under $800, ran fine

 

damn, wish i was there for that offer


Thanks guys, now I got a "footing" on what to hassle too.

I want this car so bad, its not even funny. I do love the color, everything about it, except for the interior I just dont like blue interiors... but ah well, itll do


Thanks again,
Jonathan.

 

another

 

3k is a good offer for that car. I bought my T2 for only 3500, thats with a pretty nice clean T2 with new clutch and lines. But that price is hideous.. for a S4 engine, you're missing hp right there. but then again, it's your money.

 

Plus your redline is only 7000rpm now, I sure hope the current owner hasn't been doig 8k shifts with it.

 

man i wish i had your kinda money to say oh well, its only 4500, you should hassle him down, i paid too much for my n/a and regret nto researching it more.

 

Like they all said, you are getting taken for a ride, in a bad way.

If you're gonna bother with an S5 make sure it has an S5 motor, otherwise save yourself some serious money and get an S4.

 

the seller is going to be a lucky guy thats for sure. Since youre going to get the car no matter what, make sure he knows everything that we've said about it so you can talk him down at least a thousand: Motor(s4 weakness)/avg TII prices/what weve paid for our fc's/etc.

 

eww rocky mount i used to live in wilson......

 

Don't do it. You will regret paying that much for a N/A ... I know I do. I wouldn't pay more than 3 grand for ANY n/a second gen.

 

He knows its only 7K... it's actually a member on this forum, but I dont know if I should say who it is....


Ive found a complete gauge cluster from a GXL Auto, so the redline and buzzer will be at 7K...

He knows more about rotaries then I do, so I know its been taken care of (knows about all the stuff,you know what i mean) He's had it since october...


Well, I dont WANT to pay 4500, thats why I started this thread, so I know how much to lower it down to.

I doubt I could get him down to 3000, but Ill try

And trust me guys, there are like NO good FC's around here, S4 or S5, and I really don't want a S4. I understand that Im not getting the extra whole 15 HP from the S5 motor, but this isnt going to be a race car Sure I want to port it, but I mean, an extra 15-30 HP total will be plenty. The S-AFC has yet to be tuned, all emmissions will be gone, exaust will be replaced with RB header, and true duals.... dont know what kind of mufflers yet... or pre-silencers... i dont know, i need to start researching exaust systems.

 

I know, Ive said this to him before...

He's buying a 10th AE (not in good shape, needs a re-build etc etc) so in a way, im funding HIS 10th AE restoration :P
