Appraisal

How much would you say this FD is worth judging by 106k, clean title, and the details listed below? Just trying to determine if the asking price is too good to be true. Thanks.

"This is a clean and VERY FAST 3rd generation RX-7! This black beauty is in pristine condition with twin turbos delivering nearly 400hp to the rear wheels! A new engine, transmission, CenterForce dual friction clutch and turbos highlight the many features this car boasts: SS intake with K&N filter, GReddy intercooler, all new tie wrap of all the vacuum lines, FULL 3" SS PFS exhaust with 3" downpipe, 16" Chromed Efini 5-spoke wheels with NEW Nitto 550 Z-rated tires, CATZ dual fog/driving lights, Petit Racing matched computer chip, Blaupunkt indash CD stereo with custom dual sub enclosure, Infinity Kappa speakers and Soundstream amp, factory R-1 rear spoiler and sunroof. Many more parts also included. Never raced but meticulously maintained and serviced exclusivly by a 3rd generation mechanic.MUST SELL...MAKE OFFER!"

Who would have a 400hp car and "never race" it?

That's an oxymoron.

Yeah, that is a bunch of BS.

Also, there is no way with those mods that it is making 400 rwhp. The only performance mods are intake, exhaust, IC, and Petit ECU. Unless he didn't list all the mods, it's probably making somewhere around 300 rwhp.

If he has all the paperwork to back everything up, and its in good shape, I think $14 to $15K is reasonable.

I asked for documentation for the HP claims. If he can provide them I'll probably give him 15k for it. Thanks guys. Says all mods were done 6k ago. Thanks guys.

check out kellybluebook.com, enter all the details, and it should give a somewhat accurate price.

KBB lists values for stock vehicles.

KBB values rarely apply to sports cars, especially the RX-7. There are so many variables that affect the value of this car.
