The time has come for me to make a move on my car. It's been stored in my moms garage for the past few years but she wants it out of there so I have to do something.

It's an 87 turbo II. White on red interior mostly stock with a racing beat turbo back exhaust, wangan wing, s13 lip and a nardi wheel. 180k on the odo but I don't know the history of the motor.

Before I put it into storage it ran ok but had started to have troubles flooding if you tried to start it shortly after turning it off. It's been sitting for a few years now so I don't know how it will run now.

I had planned to have a shop check the engine out and rebuild it if required and get it set up with a new fuel system and remove some of the extra crap and emissions stuff but I still won't have a place to keep it and I'm more interested in saving for a house at this point so as much as it hurts, I think selling is the best option.

My question to you guys is, do you think I should sell it as is or put the money in to fix it up and then sell it?

Best case scenario is to sell it to someone who knows FCs well. They'll understand the car's real value and they'll be able estimate how much it will cost to fix without giving you a hassle.

Your Turbo looks like it is in good shape overall, but the flooding problems would deter any casual buyer. It's probably not cost effective for you to fix it yourself if you have to ask (no offence intended)... I'm guessing the market price is about $3,500 - $5,500, more if the car is otherwise pristine.

 

Flooding problem sounds like dirty injectors, if they have never been cleaned I would spend the ~$100 to get it done.

Didn't know you still had the car looks almost exactly as it did when I last saw it though - never got the advans on it?
