well for, dent on the hood where it meets the bumper, small rust on the passengers side rear quarter panel, broken radio surround(i glued it back together), drivers side seat upholstery split, and i had to put a new starter in, but i knew that going into the deal. i paid $1250, i feel bad looking back on it now. he got skeeted. oh and it had 138k miles on the car, and the engine was new swapped by mazda with only 20k on it when i bought it.

 

damn man. that sounds like a much better deal than i'll be getting. but in all honest, as long as the cars in good shape, no big accidents, rust, i'm happy for up to like 2500. but damn. good stuff.

 

when you buy these cars its a real gamble(i know from my sister when she got hers). hers was in amazing condition inside and out but problem after problem kept sneaking up on her. mine on the other hand ive had for a year now. we thought it was gonna be the one that was gonna **** out on me. hardly any problems, at least none that i couldnt fix in an hour. just go over the car as well as you can. scrutinize every detail to get the price to come down. and if you realy want the car have the cash on you when you go to look at the car, then the seller knows you mean business.

 

I paid $2,000 USD for mine. Mint condition GXL with the original owners manual, original factory key, and original window sticker from the dealer, as well as a documented record of its past history, and I'm the third owner.

I love my car =)

140k on her, and she's running strong!

 

3500 for an 87 GXL. ~60K, minimal rust (mostly sunroof) with brand new hankook sport tires, pineapple racing sleeves, MP3 deck, HKS intake, bonez downpipe presilencer and cat. The AAS even still works! Not bad i guess. These cars are so rare around here, I have only ever seen 3 other FC's in my life lol.

 

maybe i should sell my car in washington

 

hahahaha. evil!

 

looking to buy an 86' sport for 3200. guy lives 5 hours away. and is firm on the price.

carfax came back clean. has 79,000 miles. blown motor at around 50k. rebuilt. and run for the last 30k.

was repainted, selling said due to crappy original pain due to age.

also spoke of a changed hood due to theft? (who the hell steals hoods)?

but yea. wondering what people thought and if it's worth my time/money

thanks!

 

For comparison's sake: I gave $2,000 USD several years ago for my 1990 GXL single owner with 139k miles on it (good paint, good engine, new clutch, new tires). It needed an exhaust, and I ended up putting new carpet in it too. I think it was a good deal given how reliable it has been (164k miles on it now without any major problems).

I'd expect to spend $1,500 to $3,000 for a decent N/A. A very good N/A with good mods is worth more in my eyes, but many people say they would just as soon buy a TII.

 

apparently prices are higher up north? hehe -_-;; i duno. thanks for the info though. preciate it cb.

 

Motor blown at 50K? I wonder what's up with that?

Maybe the car has been given a good thrashing?

 

yea now that you mention that. i'm kinda scared. i was hoping maybe it was just bad maintenance er something. but you're probably right.
