so whatcha think guys. . . how much is this car worth. . . AS IS????

:( :( :( :(



TELL ME IT AINT SOOO!!!

debt is a cave that you run into and crawl out of. . . and sometimes theres a monster in that cave grabbing at your legs. . . scars will be worn. . . boohoo, man. . . boohoo.

NO... are you going to sell it.. and you are so close to getting it running??

I met couple of guys here in Bham might be interested..

im scraping right now. . . i dont even have enough money to finish my intercooler installation. ive been trying to sell my intercooler and buy one of jasons greddy fmic kits. . . so i can simply be DONE. . . and start paying off bills. . . but things have caught up. . . and i have to face the music. . . the car i love has put me through hell.

I'll trade you straight up, a functioning FD for yours... ;)

Sorry to hear that you're having issues Paul. I'm no car value expert, so I don't even wanna guess a price, but good luck. Get out of debt and get another FD.

hehe, that would be nice. . . im tired of messing with it. . . i think that if i was just done with all these 400rwhp necessity mods id be fine. . . but it seems you cant run 20 or so psi through a stock intercooler for long. hahaha. . . . ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man. . . . i dont even know what to do, honestly.

22-24k but i already have an FD =\. and then you gotta deal with a million kids trying to screw you because they only got what their parents gave them (like me, lmao). good luck.

Don't sell it......it WILL work out...you'll see.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Goddamn man...

Im speachless.... seriously~

He wont sell it . Garfinkle will help him finish it .Then all will be right with the world . How could someone called Rotorbrain pick up a girl with out a fast 7 . hehehehehe

rotorbrain, I was in your shoes about 2 months ago. let things cool down for a week or so, and realized all the hard work and most important "time" you have put into the car.
Dont give up. Leave the car alone for a while and save up some more money:). Your almost there.

Here's another suggestion.....find something worth $500 and buy a beater car (if you don't have another car already). Then just set the FD aside (put storage insurance or no insurance on it and leave it in your garage) until you get back on your feet.

Will Garfinkle also get him out of debt?

rotorbrain, I hear ya. Do what you need to do. A car is not worth ruining your credit or your life for... There are more important things.

As for the value of your car? I would look somewhere around $20k or a little more. If you aren't in a hurry to sell it, stick a price on it you think is fair and don't budge. If you are in a hurry to sell it, you know you'll have to let it go for much less than it's worth and for what you want to get back out of it.

Bellingham heh? My wife is from Bellingham.

That sucks man, The sad conclusion to every auto is that one day you will have to get rid of it. I would agree at least 24-25k for that setup. If you sell, remember there are other FD's out there.

Hell I sold my FD 3 months ago, and I'm still on the forum, reading stuff ;)

The single turbo FD market is really bad right now, just check out the for sale section. Lane Change and Rx-7addiction both have singles for 18k and they are both running without needing anything.

A lot depedns on the condition of interior/exterior. If the exterior is mint and the interior is in good shape, you might get 17 in its current unmoving state. If you put it back together and tune it well, 18-19 might be a good guess. I don't see you getting more than about 20 anyway you look at it. There are just too many similar or better cars for cheaper. I'm assuming stock wheels and tires. A good set of wheels and tires you can add 1k-1.5k for. I've been in the market for a single for the last month in a half and i recently sold the single back in early july so i've been watching the market for a while and consider my estimates fairly accurate, and as others have said, a lot depends on how long you are willing to wait for the right buyer. If you put your car on ebay, right now as is, again assuming good exterior and interior, i'd be surprised if bids got over 14 or 15k.

So as everyone else has said, you're probably better off finishing the project and enjoying the fruits of your labor. Good luck!

EDIT:
Mileage on the chassis is also a piece of info necessary for an accurate estimate. If you are under 50k you can probably add 500-1000, my estimates were assuming 50k-100k, 100k-130k subtract 500-1000, over 130k on the chassis is just gonna be hard to sell, nobody wants an rx7 with that many miles on it.

Oh boo Paul...You have all those mods on your car and you can't even come up with a "thrifty" way to finish an Intercooler INstall?? Shit man, Trust me you want to drive your car when it's perfect before you even think about selling it. Or at least give me a damn ride shit.

The most sage advice ever :p:

hehe, thanks reg!!!!. . . i think. . . hahaha.

man, i never would have thought my car could go for that much money. . . holy cow!!!! i was thinking id be pushing the limit to get 15k out of it in perfect running shape. am i that far off? the chassis has 90k miles on it. . . . and there are more mods than what i listed. . . i just need to sit-down and walk through it. . . haha. . . if thats at all possible.

believe me guys, i would absolutely love to keep this car. . . and if i can get it running. . . there ARE no more mods until im financially ready. i got really stupid for about a year and it definately shows now. the thing about it is. . . if i sell the car. . . i can pay off my debt. how tempting is that. . . .

jeez. . .

paul

im seriously gonna kick you in the nuts!

=Chris

I've been in your shoes before (cept my FD was stock when I sold it). I can't tell you how much I missed that car......which is why after 3 years I got another one ;) Which you could do as well, but it just seems like you've invested so much of your time, $ into it, it would suck even more to have to part from it. Good luck either way!

Rotorbrain.. Damn.. i understand your situation.. I'm starting to get myself into slight debt.. but at least the car is paid off..

My advice is... Keep the car.. Get it running.. and than stop putting more money into it.. I know its hard.... because I told that to myself a year ago.. But every month, I buy things.... But at the same time, I'm selling few things I don't need.. So, it kind of balance itself out..

Well, Good luck and hope you keep it instead of selling it.. Especially, I know you haven't enjoyed it in awhile..

Paul, you know where I stand on all of this. However, if your situation is serious enough to warrant you coming on to the boards, then I respectfully change my stance. If you need to sell, then sell. Get the 20-22k and pay off your debt, pick up a beater with the remaining cash, and look forward to a fresh start on things. The winter season is coming and your FD probably wouldn't see too much use anyhow. Let me know if you need to talk some more Bro.

I could get you $15k for it but would have to find a way to get it to nyc.

:o I cant believe tyou sellin g the car man, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
