I hate to ask, but whats my car worth?

I am considering selling my 1987 Turbo II. Its charcole grey, brand new paint job, with a maroon/red interior in perfect conidtion, minus faded seats. It has a Alpine 9835 Cd-MP3 deck, Infinity componet speakers, Infinity Coaxial rears, a RF 400w rms amp feeding a JL10w6v2-4.
It has 75k and 0 miles on a rebuilt street ported motor. Suspension is still stiff. It has 10k on Kuhmo Supra 712's. It also has working ac, but it needs a rebuild of the logicon.
Turbo has less then 30k on it and spools perfectly. Also has a new clutch and dual alternator belt pully. The car is clean and in great condition over all. It has been in 2 accidents, but both were repaired correctly and the whole car was re-painted.

I am sure I left out stuff. Ill post some pictures.

$4,000

because of the new paint, rebuilt engine, and almost new turbo. Nice car.

ask for $4,500 though, and you'll end up getting 4k

yeah that sounds about right but I think you could get 5k if you hold out long enough. very nice looking car by the way! I dig the exterior, not to hot on the red interior but it is very clean.

It is worth a little over $2,500. However, you may be able to sell it for more. I would recommend EBay, which seems to attract the largest amount of idiots.

I was going to say $4k, but I didn't want to be the first as I know you probably wanted to hear a higher number.

The red interior and accidents make it a tough one. If possible buyers don't know its been wrecked then I would say $3,500-4,000. If you disclose the wrecks.... 2,500-3,000 depending on how bad the damage was and how it drives now.

Sound kinda petty, but I don't know how many people would want a car with that interior. It's just so ugly. Mazda never should have made a red interior.

I know I hate the interior. But its in great shape. I have kept every recipt for anything I have done to this car including oil changes ever 3k.

The accidents?
I was backed into by a truck in the rear quarter, poped it out and fixed it easy. The other one, I was sside wiped by a old lady in a new jag. Door was replaced and qp was fixed. Nothing major, I dint want them to bondo the door and I had a spare one, so I figured it was better that way.
Uncle owns a body shop, so .

I dont know if I am or not. Its got GSL SE injectors, vdo boost guage, a brand new set of speakers, sub and deck sitting on my book shelf.

I would say at least 3500 USD, maybe 4500 if I knew anything about where the rebuild was done. If I were you, I would consider taking the subs and amp out and selling them separately.

The rest of the stuff is all good. The Tornado Silver is not a very common color and it looks damn good. Also, I don't see any aftermarket parts or mods other then audio, so that's a big plus in my book. If you want to sell it, I would list it on Autotrader.com, because people will come from out of state to get a clean Turbo II (I drove 300 mountainous miles in the pouring rain to get mine )

Your car looks like a keeper... think long and hard before you sell it, you might regret it.

Title is clean . There was never more then a few $100 of damage done in either accident.

I am going to think about it. I am doing the rebuild myself, the 3rd one I have done. The other 2 have 10k and 500 miles on them. I really like this car, its just theres this bad temptation to buy the red with black interior S5 turbo II......

You know in Australia, specificly Perth, that car is worth around $14,000. No ****. But thats in AU$ so about US$11,000. My rx7 is a non turbo sports model, auto, that goes for around 7-8000. You guys dont understand how much they r worth over here.

Okay, if you're going to sell that car Spyder, send it to Aussie

You probably won't get as much out of it by doing the rebuild yourself. I'm not insulting your worksmanship or anything, it's just that people will pay more for one done by a reputable shop or Mazda. You know how it is. I would really just hold on to your TII man.

P.S. Static, that FC Targa deal is the coolest

If you do ever sell it, pull the ice. When I traded my gsl-se for a stupid alltrac, the guy made me tear out the stereo setup because he wanted the car original. That stereo sounds great in the alltrac. Your keeping 2 t2s? Isn't that kinda greedy? Come on, spread the "wealth".

$1,900 would be a fair price for a car that year.
