Sorry, but no one's going to pay 2K for an automatic 91. Why buy one that doesnt run when u can get a mint one for 3500-4K. If it was a turbo, different story. I will give you 800 bucks for it. I already got a tow truck to bring it up. I want to get this for my gf

Its a waste in my opinon unless the trans swap will work
Think I should look into that?
the trans swap alone won't cost TOO much. i mean you could swap in a T2 tranny,driveshaft, LSD, halfshafts. parts aren't that expensive labor is the killer. if you really wanted to you could just make your car a T2 for like $4000

I HAVE AN 88SE AUTO FOR SALE WITH A NEW MOTOR!!!
The body has damage but great for parts. MOTOR is a MAZDA RECYCLING rebiuld with 8k. LOOK AT THE RX7's FOR SALE. $1500 the cost of a rebuild with a complete car for parts.

My fault boosting to high

hahahahahaha. he'll be up for it! LOLseriously though man...yeah it sucks that you have an auto but on the bright side you have one of the cleanest coupes of the last year the FC was made. i'd look into the tranny swap and new motor. just clock some extra hours at work or get a second job...****, DONATE SPERM! hehe
i wouldn't sell it for the prices these guys are suggesting...they are too low...
