I'm not really sure if it's worth the asking price of $6500. It has low miles and has supposidly been always garaged, only 1 ding in the drivers door, no rust, all stock.

what do you guys think? I've never priced out a 2nd gen before...

Id pay it.. Notice it lists it as AWD?

 

awd my ***

 

I have a white vert with that many miles on it w/ a rebuild. Only paid $4,000.

 

lmao yeah i saw the AWD thing, at least they know it has a rotary engine...

 

that seem's like a damn good deal! was anything wrong with the car when you bought it?

 

I'd say that a good price, I pay'd 3500 for my vert, just get an s4 convertible their always way cheaper. Swap out the 3.9 for a 4.1 and your good to go.

 

When i bought the car the driver side window needed a new motor, but other than that no probs!

 

I paid $680 for my '89 vert with 89k on it. It now has 92K. with a fresh rebuild, I have about $1500 in it.

 

id say if it was a turbo 2 swap id pay maybe 5000 for it. but for the n/a stock car is around $3000 because its in pretty good condition

 

^^^ I would agree with that. 3k for a clean Vert is a good price. IF the motor is in good condition.

 

6500?!?!
u can buy alot of nice cars in that range... Hell save a little more and u can get an FD!

i paid $400 for my bone stock 88 TII with 80,000 miles on it...

 

For that nice looking vert sure i'd pay 6500. All these ***** deadbeat noobs got their pricing a bit fucked up.

cept for the one that payed 680 thats just dumb luck

 

their isn't a NA on this forum worth 6500. Damn you can buy a rx8 for 20k even and 271 a month as per this mornings news paper.

 

Keep in mind this car is probably in better shape then your average 2nd gens, interior is mint, no cracked dash or torn or faded seats or anything, the top is in great shape, etc. It's a car I can buy and not have to do anything to get it perfect. Can you guys who have paid less say that? I have plenty of other stuff to keep me busy without having to wrench on my street car to get it running the way I want.

I really don't want a TII or an FD, it's not that I can't afford one, it's just that I want a convertable and I would like it to have a rotary engine. Unfortunately my choices are fairly limited...

 

That cracks me up!

No really, 3K for a clean vert is not too bad. After paying $680+rebuild+new top+new leather seats+paint. I'll have about $25-$2800 into the car and that's just going back stock. AND I have to do all the labor!! Even if you get a Rex given to you after you get it all back to really good condition you've spent 3k easily. That's with any little beater car.....Supra, Celica, Honda, 300ZX...etc. All this is considering that your not driving some old piece of ****, multi colored looking Rex.

 

I say go for it. 87k miles isn't much on an n/a unless its been beat. Try 167k then you're talking miles!

 

One more thing that i would add.

With Rotaries the way they are, low mileage means ****. The seals dry up and crack to pieces. I would scuff at any body that told me a Rex didn't need a rebuild under the conditions listed by the original poster. I would be leary of the motor.

 

Just because it says $6,500 doesn't mean it IS $6,500. You always can offer less, honestly IMO I think either you should get a S4 vert for cheaper or wait. **** I think Lander's vert with a fresh turbo engine/rebuild went for somewhere around $8,000. That's only a little bit more (and plus it was owned by a l337 mechanic).

Anyhow he won't sell it for that price unless he owns up on some n00b looking for a vert. So just wait and let it go down, if he sells it, just find another.


PS: Landers, Im done sucking up.

 

What is a l337 mechanic?

 

Rember guys it also depends how common they are in your state/ city.. here in Socal I see at least 3-5 verts a day.. and most S5 sell for 2k.. but if your someplace where you never see them.. price is always going to be higher.. But if 6k seems worth it to you, then go for it.. its your money.. do with it as you wish.

 

I want an s5 vert, the s4's just arent as nice. and obviously i'll offer less then 6500, but i can't offer the guy 3k if he is asking 6500.

I'm probably just as 1337 as this Lander guy (if not more 1337), and I'm pretty sure I could put a TII motor in this car for 2K if I wanted, which would make it worth 8k.

They are faily rare in GA, but I would also like to be able to get some money back out of it when I decide to sell it. I think for 5k i would buy it no questions asked, but more then that I begin to question.

I haven't even seen it yet, but I'll check it out tonight and probably make the guy an offer. if it's anything less then amazing i'm not paying close to 6.5k...

 

Think what convertible can be had for $6000. Maybe a Mustang, if a GT, probably beat on.
I think $5500/$6000 would be a decent price providing no work needs to be done with the car. Tires, exhaust, clutch, interior all in great condition.
People that mention getting a S5 convert for $2/3,000 aren't going to find one in this condition, and chances are they will go through a lot of money and aggrevation.

 

l337 mechanic is my stupid h4x0r speak. It just means a very good mechanic.

 

Might want to be careful saying something like that. It's hard to be more 1337 than Landers in the rx7 sense, and you're bound to step on a lot of toes!
