From the pics it looks pretty clean. I paid $5000 CAD (from what I've seen on here I'm starting to think I paid too much) but mine ran just fine, and had fairly low mileage. it depends on how bad the underside and rear quarters are rusted, if it can be fixed with a lil sanding and paint than I say offer him $1000, maybe $1200. Damn thing doesn't run, if he wants more than that he's greedy and it's not worth it. Although if you need a parts car, I'll take half that interior off your hands

Body looks straight, paint is revivable and interior and dash area look pretty good....but dead engine means $900 tops, you are buying a rolling chassis that will prolly need everyhydraulic system reworked or replaced....clutch and brakes, those systems do not like to sit around for a year not being used, they eat up the seals...

i bought mine in similar shape for $250.00 cash
these things dont have any resale value
I wouldnt pay more than $500.00 for one unless it was W/B with some serious **** under the hood

the paint is fair and the only bad part is the roof , tree sap has taken a big toal on it , likewise it would still need work on the rear quarter . the seams to the rear roll pan ar also rotten

yeah the guy called me and asked me iff i was interested , the way he made it sound he wanted to get rid of it . knowing what i did about the car and what i have learned from this forum . i offered him 500 . he quickly shot me down , so my father inlaw offered 800 and he turned that down .
after i think about it , i kinda feel like the guy intentionally wasted my time .
coincidenally when i was looking for that one i found a terrible looking 83 worthy of being a parts car with a brown interior behind a tree in the next town over and the guy wants to give it to me lol .

love the braaaap
If the body is in absolutely imaculate shape, like little or no rust (unlikely), then a non-running 1st gen is not worth more than $500-$600. The body and interior would have to be absolutely perfect if I were to pay any more than that.

got me mint 80rx7.
lots of aftermarket parts, headers, exhaust, carb.
all from RB.
total loss vehicle, but i fixed the body myself.
its back to normal, now its time to modify it.
THOUGH MY RB EXHAUST DIDNT PASS EMMISION.
so i had to put a stock one on for the time being.

If my sig shows up, gold one for 400 dollars bad engine, very straight body with no rust, interior was complete, but a lil dirty and all new tires. White one was supposed to have the gold ones engine, but went to pick it up and saw how nice it was, just couldnt do it. Got it for 150. Id just wait for something else...
