What is the going rate for this kind of FD????

A 93 montego blue automatic with 84k miles. 6 of 10 interior with bose audio 7 of 10 exterior.

I wish I had pics.

They are asking for 17k which I thought was WAY WAY out of whack!

I was thinking more like 12k

Yeah, 12k is a solid price for a non-mint automatic. That's assuming the engine and turbos aren't about to kick the bucket.

If mechanically sound, I would say between $11k-$12k.

People have trouble unloading low mileage automatics in very good condition.

If you really want an automatic, wait for a nice one. $12k is not all that uncommon for a ~50k-mile one in 8/9+ condition. Unless RX-7s are rare in your part of the country, is see no reason to buy one in poor condition.

It is worth 6K to 8K tops. The only thing it seems to be missing at this point is the salvage title.

Always consider that with an RX-7, the engine and turbos are always about to kick the bucket.

if the motor and turbos are fine...and its boost pattern is fine...and its not a salvage title...16k is not too much to ask

12k would be a steal.

The tittle is "blue" so its not salvaged. It was a "one owner" car i'm told.


AND NOT ALL TURBO CARS SMOKE ON START UP!

Tell that to all the EVO's and WRX's around town. I have never seen a good working car even a turbo smoke on start up. Maybe you all are used to it with FD's like us FC peeps are used to the flooding
