How much would you pay for this FC?








26000 original miles, no power steering, never seen snow. KKB has it listed for $4540 but I know that is way too optimistic for a FC. How much would you pay for it?

Looks all original to me. low miles.

People have been paying between 8-12k on ebay for a car like that. (super low mile all original S4 turbo in that condition)

Now before people jump down my throat with (ITS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH NOOB!)

It is worth what people are willing to pay.

Recently a 90TII with 14k original miles, unmodified went for nearly 16k on ebay....

I paid 4k for my S5 TII, and while the interior is clean... that's just... I got mine with 26k on a Mazda Reman. and zero clear coat. And I still think I got a good deal. If I were you, I'd jump all over that!

I agree, it's IMMACULATE!! WOW

If he really wants some hefty cash for it, do a compression test just to make sure it's actually as young as it looks. Assuming he's taken care of the motor as well as the body/interior, you'd be fine, but despite the evidence that's always a terrible assumption to make.

well let's keep it realistic for a minute.

That car looks amazingly clean for it's age but it's not worth 8K, no matter the mileage. AT MOST I'd pay 5K because it is still an unmolested virgin FC. If you REALLY want it then pay the 8K but I'd walk away if it's more than 5K.

I don't know......5k is only good enough for an S5 turbo in normal condition, we're talking about a more than clean, near mint version. That alone will warrant an 8k purchase.

FYI, I once bought a 1988 10th AE with 40k miles original, for 8k.

you are way wrong. ive seen low mileage NA's go for 5k on ebay. just because the most YOU would pay is 5k doesnt mean anything

That car would fetch the sellers asking price here in California right away or at the very least, something very close to his price. I've seen crappy FCs sell for 6k before. The great thing about that TII is that it doesnt have the red interior.

Have you offered the guy $7000?

edit:
Hows the engine?

Thats a beautiful FC. The only thing I'd change would be the steering wheel. I've always hated the 86-87 steering wheels. Everything else is great I would personally offer him something very close to his asking price but then again, cars prices are inflated here in So. Cal.

Show up to the guys house with $7k cash. Maybe waiving the money in his face will give you the longer end of the bargaining stick

I paid 6 for mine in 2002, from the original owner, in similar condition, bone stock, with 58k miles. I'd say 7k is fair.

Its worth how much you're willing to pay for it. FYI, that FC is immaculate, and I don't think the owner will budge on the price very much. So EXPECT to pay top dollar if you decide to buy it.

the worst that can happen for you is to make an offer and have him say yes, and I'll tell you why. if you offer and he accepts, you offered too much. make an offer that is realistic yet low, but not insultingly low, and go from there. he may bring his price down, then you've gained some ground. you could make a final offer near what his new offer is, or take it and run. some people will get annoyed if you go much farther than the first bartering round so don't get too aggressive.
