The car is a 94 Touring auto black/tan

The car is 100% stock and has 32k miles.

It was involved in a accident where the front of the car had $2700 worth of work. No frame damage.

The O/D was replaced because of a crack at 25k miles in 2005. The car is still owned by the original owner and has ALL receipts of the work that has been performed.

Can anyone help me price this thing?

 

If the compression is good, paint is good, interior is good, I'd say about $15-16k would be decent. However, it is an automatic.

 

Auto, ouch... You will have a hard time reselling it.

Odo change, that also hurts. Did you carfax it to see if the mileage was correct?

 

I would not give more than $10-11k, but then I would not buy it due to it being an automatic.

 

Yes the carfax checks out.

I know you would personally not pay more than 10-11k but I don’t care if "you" don’t like auto’s or not.

I want the actual retail value of the car.

 

Unfortunately, "you' in this case means almost everybody that is in the market for one of these cars. $10-$11k is about right because it is an auto; and equivalent manual would be $4k+ higher. The odometer switch is also a negative unless it was a certified swap.

 

Is was a certified swap. Sorry I didn’t include that info.

The O/D swap is not a bad thing if all the paper work checks out and it’s certified correct?

 

If it's certified and aligns with the CarFax it should not matter.

I just noticed that it was a 1994 so you may be able to get a few thousand more.

I would list it for $15k and see what happens. It takes time to sell these cars.

 

Thanks for the info guys. Any more input from other people is always welcomed.

 

I was not trying to talk smack about your car, I honestly thought you were looking at buying one so I was suggesting what you should pay. Try for $15k but be open to offers.

 

i'd have to disagree. that kind of low milage on an fd is hard to find, especially in stock condition. the fact that all recipts were kept is a HUGE plus. you know then that there's proof that it was taken care of. granted the auto's are a few k cheaper...

i would say around 16k-17k like some others mentioned. if it was 5spd it would be somewhere in the range of 20k-25k

 

I watch prices all of the time on cars.com,ebay, and autotrader. The autos go for alot less than the manuals. It will be hard to resell. I can't tell you what it's really worth becuase you never know what people will pay for a car. All I can say is if you really want a wrecked automatic 94 with those miles(which is not too bad), I would not pay more than 10K. Look at the sites and find some autos and compare prices. You know, if you like this car because you don't want a manual, then it might be good for you.

 

You are not making any sense. What does the price of a wrecked car have to do with anything?

 

i agree

he also stated there was no frame damage. so its just like nothing ever happened, drivabilitly and preformance is not affected.

 

It was in essence a fender bender. The wheel was fine. It was only the 1/4 panel and paint that needed replacing to make it right.

So it is worth between 10k and 17k? LOL

Man that is a HUGE discrepancy.

10k for a 32,000 mile all stock 04 touring? Even I think that’s crazy low.

 

If you are not familiar with these rx7s and you came across this car READ:

Do not get on the car while cold
Check the oil, change it
Let the car cool down for a 30sec+ period (idling so oil will flow through)
Once warmed up, does it boost right?

Please read the info on this site!

When someone buys it, tell them to research this site thoroughly before doing anything to it.

I went looking for mine and turned down several that were not maintained correctly.

Where in FL are you. I bet someone will check it out for you and let you know of problems. DONt take it to the dealer. Waste of money big time.

 

I don't get it. If you want "retail" value, then just look it up on NADA or KBB. It sounds to me as if you don't trust those values so you ask everyone here. What more can we offer than what we might be willing to pay for one? Let's face it, the "actual retail value" is only known when you find a willing buyer and willing seller.

 

There seems to be some confusion here. Are you the owner of this 94' FD and trying to sell it or are you looking to buy? The responses here seem to go both ways.

 

A lady here in Phoenix recently sold her '93 Montego Blue Touring automatic model for $9K. The car had 83K miles with a brand new engine and less than 500 miles on the motor. However, she also had quite a few interior plastic pieces that were broken or nearly broke.

I'd say if all the trim pieces both internally and externally are in tact and in good condition, the car should easily bring $14-$16K. However, as others have noted, you'll need to be patient. It could take a while to sell.

Let's face it... we're in a down economy and people are having a hard time leveraging (or even getting) credit right now. Buyers with cash are becoming more selective, but it sounds like the car's extremely clean. Actually, now's a good time to get it out on the market with Tax Returns coming back soon!

Tell the Seller good luck with the sale, and keep us posted!

 

Good friend of mine bought a one owner 23k mile auto car in about as near perfect condition as possible. I think he got $12k for it after advertising everywhere for about 5 months. Unfortunately that is just the market for those cars. I think my opinion should be fairly accurate, however, the car is worth what someone will pay. On a car like this you will have better luck in your local market setting it on a busy road somewhere. Some young kid with wealthy parents will buy it for probably around $14-15k.

 

you will come to learn, you cant use nada or kbb on rx7's. especially kbb, its very outdated and is not used by dealers or banks anymore. value with rx7's is all about preference and model. some rx7 sell for $10,000 with 40k miles while others sell for $50,000.

nada is the closest you will get to actual value, and it is still not correct. and this is for a stock fd retaining the same engine(not rebuilt). the fd he is selling is hard to find...still has factory engine with no mods. i searched for 2 years to find a bone stock model that fit my budget.

 

As long as the odo was done by a shop you should be fine. There are shops that will roll up odometers to match the one coming out of the car.

15k~. thats a nice car, the only kinda let down is its an auto. take the time and you will get a good price.

 

I understand that. But when a poster asks for "actual retail value" yet gets a bit testy when folks offer opinion and anecdote there seems to be a disconnect. All anyone can offer here is opinion and anecdote.

 

Dhays,

How many other boards are you a member of? Post count on those boards?
You have some learning to do.

P.S. Please take that avatar down. It's burning my eyes. You look like the guy that says "I AM INVINCIBLE" in that Bond flick.
