I would not consider it at that price:

High milage
multiple mods: assume this car was driven hard
No matter what one pays for mods, one never recovers the cost.

$19k for an FD with 95k miles makes no sense. Closer to $12k would make sense (and only becuase of the more recent motor - assuming it is documented). For $19k you could should be able to find a pristine FD with 30k miles to so.

"is it worth it" is a question you have to ask yourself. Can you afford to pay cash for the car? or would the loan payments cause you to live paycheck to paycheck?

I thought about selling my 93, I'd list it at ~$19K and not budge far, because its got a brand new street port motor and close to 17k in mods.

I don't think the price is out of line. It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

Interesting. You should ask for more pictures because that picture looks stolen (looks like rynberg's car).

Its not too bad, but liek everyone else has been syaing if you have the money to spent. Personally....i would buy something cheaper with lower miles around 14k and save yopur extra 4k for mods or keep it saved because sooner or later somethign will go wrong.
