600.oo bucks. Allstate salvage vehicle, 1987TurboII. Engine fire. Originaly bought by another person who butchered everything he touched and dropped *something* into the intake while he was half assing the replacement of some of the wiring(some wires he considered non-essential I suppose). Good body and paint. Average interior maybe just a touch better.

$6500 for a 1992 TII 4 months ago.

Of course I've been restoring it as well and probably have $2500 to date in restoration.

Prestine will run a premium usually - $7500 for an emaculent 89-92 is not unheard of. More if it has performance mods.

Most people buy them in good-fiar shape for a discount, but you do pay more if your restoring it.

4 years ago, I bought my 1990 t2 with 40,000 miles for $8000. I just made my last payment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm always slow and lazy at paying stuff off, but its finally mine! (I suppose I could have paid if off years ago, but then it wouldn't have the t04 and haltech on it now )

$3500 one and one half years ago. Had 120k on it. I was stupid. Should have only paid maybe $2000 for it.
Have put another $5000 in to it including 2 engines, soon to be 3.
I guess $8500 for a car that can keep up with a $45,000 C5 isn't that bad!??

I paid 2,200 for my 87 TII with 130k on it. Took me six months to get it running right,but it was worth it. Good luck finding one there arent many in Georgia.

I STOLE IT! Basically!

Mine was a trade-in at the dealership I work for. They did not know anything about RX-7's and gave her $1500. I took it off of their hands for $1790 including taxes and title.

It had 64,xxx miles. It needed a rear tail lamp capsule, and BAC valve, the steering rack leaked, and the paint was oxidized and needed a good buff.

I have $2600 into it now.

$6000 for my near mint 90 TII. All I need is...nothing! Well, the paint needs to be buffed out and a few dings taken out, but the car is in mint shape. I plan on modding the hell out of it once I get some extra dough.

Keith,

Funny thing was - THE WEEK I bought mine - two turbo IIs showed up in Georgia's autotrader.com and the one I saw was in prestine shape.

But - it was black and I wanted midnight blue - so I bought mine in Maryland and drove it down.

Got mine for 800.00 It had a blown motor, which was a major suck, but it also had 3in RB turbo back exhaust. A major plus. Its in good condition, besides needing some paint.

88 TII running, decent shape = $800 in GA
88 vert running, in great shape = $600 in GA
cost of combining the two into a TII vert = still to be determined (haven't had time yet)

by comparison - my GSL-SE cost $1400 (GA), and was in worse shape cosmetically

If you don't do it I want the TII.

Got mine for $5358 and put another $5000 into it for mods and detailing. The car is in mint condition and worth every bit of 10k..
