Seems a little high for an engine with that high of milage. I think 17K would be worth it if had a new engine in there.

Your best bet is to pick up an autotrader and compare.

The kit isn't on the car. I'd sell that separete from the car, and lower the price on the car. While I'd love to see FD's going for higher prices, there are just too many '93's out there going for far less.

if the kit isn't on the car...keep the price. I like seeing FD's go for more.

it's bad when a inexperienced driver can by one and then turbojeff has to fix it...in another 5 years they will be even harder to find...especially ones that haven't been ruined with funky kits and what not.

13K if it has the original drive train, lower if it's an auto.

Way to high..

I bought my Silver 93 Touring Pkg. with 70k, 20k on a remain, and in perfect condition. All reliability mods already performed for 13k.

Ya it was a pretty sweet deal but I think you should look at ebay and some of the averages on autotrader. Not the highpriced ones, those morons are nuts. Some of those cars have been in there for a year.

Thats car is worth 11.5 if the motor is original, 13 if its got a rebuild. Either way, you would be lucky to get 9 if its an auto.

100k on a 93, theres just to many of those lying around.

Don't go by eBay prices! It's filled with kids thinking they can pickup an amazing condition car for 10k with all the major upgrades.

ebay is by no means and never has been a standard for pricing. if your car is in good condition i would say 16 is a fair price.

usually things are on ebay cause they wouldent sell elseware.

Also don't listen to people who aren't from California.

I hear of all of these people that are getting FD's for 13K. Not around here! Either they are lying or FD's are more expensive in South Cal.

i bout mine with a new engine on it and 91,000 on the body with a new paint job for $12,500. and the rotary engine isn't know to go many miles so you might want to lower the price quite a bit even with the body kit.

If your thinking about selling the body kit seperetly i know i am in the market for one

I wouldn't say "No way". If the car's honestly in excellent aesthetic and mechanical condition, inside & out, it's worth more than average (esp. in California).

If you're confident in it's condition and you want to get that price, you should send it to a reputable rotary specialist, have them perform a "used car inspection" report, or at least run a compression check.

.........

there is really no one who will pay that much for your car unless it was the only one for sale, there are too many 7's out there going for $10,000-13,000. the only ones i see go for $17,000 are the rare low milage 20,000m-30,000m cars or any CYM (original) will usually bring in higher than $15,000 anytime

bougth my completely stock 94 Touring mtx with 90k original motor, tranny and turbos for $8500, honestly if i had the money and the guy wasnt so desparate to sell I'd have bought it for $16,000. The interior was and still is in near mint condition, exterior had some loose ends but all in all it was still worth 16k. For a 93 with 100k and aftermarket parts, at best I'd say you'd pull $15k but more reasonbly prolly around $11-13k if its condition is really good.

i would think 17 is too much, but you could find some chump. $13.5k sounds much better. if you had a new motor i would say nothing under $16k.

I would say 17k is a little high for 100,000 miles. Maybe 15.5-16k would be a better asking price. I paid 18.5k for my 93 with 38k miles, roll bar, seats, and full suspension, with 18x10 CCW's. I believe I got a good deal. I am rebuilding the motor now with a Rotary Aviation overhaul kit and have a ton of mods (see sig) and 60k miles and will probably ask in the ballpark of 23k.

I paid $13.8k for my '93 R1 about 3 weeks ago. It had a recently installed Mazda reman engine in it. Mileage on the body was 95k.

I felt like I could have saved some money if I had shopped around a bit more, but once I saw the car in person, my knees got weak.
