Rare..

jimmy o. 09-08-08 08:51 PM

its also is a cosmo i have no idea what that is either but i have heard of it. Are these cars worth any money

Japan2LA 09-08-08 09:33 PM

Cosmo worth nothing
Rx4 worth money

Yeah, I have an RX4. 74 to be exact. I have gotten some nice offers for it. The newer ones are junk IMO

jimmy o. 09-09-08 12:23 PM

All i could really tell about it was 2 door has a/c and was m/t. It was fairly complete glass aside

Cosmo worth nothing!?... I was under the impression they were very desirable.

im thinking the one we saw was a later model one jimmy, the front end on it looked like the 76 pictured above...

RotorRican 09-09-08 06:02 PM

Eithere save it from the yard or strip it completely so they dont crush anything of value. the car in the foto is a Cosmo 1976-1978(i think 76 is first year but not sure)

Q for Wacky - Grill
 
Did you paint that grill black? I have seen those pics of your car, but i never noticed the all black grill. Did all the coupes come with black grills? My 74 RX4 wagon has a gray grill.

JCurry 09-10-08 08:40 PM

jimmy we should go get it and sell it or somethin then...

I have to agree with Japan2LA. A Cosmo didnt make it in LA's rotary scene (particularly in the 80's street races) as it is heavy despite it came with a much nicer 5speed tranny and reverse intake manifold like the 76 RX-4's. and quite frankly, the shape is not very sporty so it is mainy used for parts. Its always been RX-2 and RX-3 but a few RX-4s.

jimmy o. 09-11-08 03:33 PM

i dont think they even have crusher there there was also a few 1st gen 7's and 2nd gen n/a's. what i want to know if it will be worth my time parting out of selling whole.

I agree, with every thing you said. I personally do not like them. It just seems that when ever I hear some one talking about a Cosmo its how they want one or they are cool...

RX2fan 09-11-08 08:48 PM

your best bet would probably be buying it whole and then selling it whole on ebay. do you know how much they want for it? on ebay you could prob get around 1500-3000 depending on condition. what do u guys think of that price range/ havent seen one for sale for a while so dont know exactly what they are going for
