that would all depend on, what base model? any service history? has the engine been rebuilt? what kind of mods does it have?

No. Check the classifieds, that will give you a better idea of what similar FD's in similar condition are going for.

Not too sure, but I'd expect it to be around 10-15k depending on condition, I could be wrong though.

Correct. There is thousands upon thousands of threads with information. Search through there.

Mr RX9 I'd leave off the TT designation when asking about 3rd gens as all FD's came that way from the factory so it's already assumed to be twin turbo, if it is otherwise, the seller will no doubt mention it.
Check your local craigslist, the Richmond and DC craigslist also they occasionally pop up on www.vadriven.com for sale too

16k is reasonable, but everybody has a limit of how low they will go. HAGGLE!

Before settling on a price consider:
1) Condition of interior
2) Condition of exterior
3) Condition of mechanical stuff and maintenance history

I'd personally pay anywhere from $7k to $18k for a near-stock or stock FD depending on the condition of the big three above.

79k seems to be a fairly high mileage number for a stock engine as well, so check to see if its been rebuilt and so on.

i bought mine with a stock engine at 79k and by 81 it needed a complete rebuild.

Yeah and a complete rebuild starts at 5k... MY dilemma is I just blew my turbos on the S4...so hence its shopping time.

BTW, when shopping for an FD, take a good hard look for things that are broken/imperfect/etc that you would like to replace. Some FD parts are hard to find, obscenely expensive, or downright nonexistent.

Don't let a seller (for example) tell you a cracked passenger door handle is an easy junkyard find or $50 from Autozone. Because it's not.

All FD parts are hard to find. How many were imported to the US? Less than 13,000? And there's probably how many left? FD ownership is a class of its own, and I have not even experienced it yet, and I still am not ready for it.


Oh, good luck finding a center panel for an FD without paying a huge price for it.

I have found that the 94's are harder to find and depending on whether the engine has been rebuilt or not would determine the price between $12,000 for no rebuild to $17,000 with rebuild and condition of car.

Some parts are hard to find. Most are somewhat expensive and some are crazy expensive. On the FDs fortunately there are only a few parts that are no longer available at all - mostly interior panels.

they're nonexistent because they're cheap. the discontinued parts that you cannot buy anymore of course were those cheap pieces that everyone bought while they still could, because their's broke.. one of the things i dislike about the FD is how cheaply some of the interior plastics were, the tin canny door closing after the support debeads, the suspension popping and the seat belt retainers flopping around. just to name a few things.

they do look good from the outside though!

if you find one of the few with none of the above issues, expect to pay a premium for it and keep it in a plastic bubble and use padded gloves when you drive to avoid touching the plastics.

I have bought quite a few over the last few months and this would be my thinking on it.

If the motor is original and not been rebuilt 8-10k

If rebuilt then i would say between 9-12k

Good Luck with the sale
