Just the fact that you are contemplating making payments on a POS like that is bad news. I would never get into debt for a car in that condition.

Sounds like you can't even afford the car, let alone the cost of reversing that cars condition to non-POS status...

I would definately look into how much it will cost you to get that thing back into ok shape. Then take that out of how much he wants. I would never pay 2500 for that car. I can get another A.E in much better shape for 3500 right now and it just needs a oil feed line replaced.

kid_loco

The rear end looks nice. get it up to speed and thats all your oppents going to c. lol besides that, like honda said i would buy that thig for 500 dollars.
ps is that blood on the driver seat or is that just me

capn

hehe no thats tape with red stuff in it, but im fully capable of bringing it back to good shape with less cost than it would normally take.

i can reuphulster quite easily and i have alot of extra parts around, so the cost to bring it back up to par is very very minimal for me.

and i would pay him like $300 a month or something along those lines, i will def try to talk him down WAY down, be he is in a money bind. so i could make him wait.

MarkPerez

shoot, i paid $ 150.00 dollors for my t2, but $2,500 dollors is way up there. i bet the guy won't do a payment type deal either.

I wouldn't even touch that 10th AE for $2500. Check out my old thread and search under "fire" and my username. I got my 10th AE with PD fire for $900 and it is in way better condition than that one.

Flobb

not worth 2500, I just payed under 1000 for one in slightly worse overall condition

Steel

Dude, don't be stupid. I payed $1000 for an 88 TII that was in much MUCH better condition than that car. Why do you want to spend another GRAND for the fact that it's an AE?

capn

its the only TII in the area that i have found thats mildly cheap(says alot about my area huh?), the fact that its an AE just makes me want it more because its like a special club

but if i can find a TII thats cheaper i will drop this one

Find one out of area...It looks like that fool hit somthing and then drove into a river with it. I give it a few more months (if it already isnt all over the car) for rust to appear everywhere. Just wait....Sure I paid 7k for my AE, but everything on it is perfect and it has over 10k in mods + fresh rebuilt motor. That isnt even worth rebuilding...

capn

thats just the problem this has been the best deal i have found on a running TII, and extending my search into almost other states is very impractical for me. yes i have looked the only thing i havent tried is the state auctions and those rarely have good enough rx7s there, most of them are siezed for drug use and the cars interior is all ripped up, and unuseable.

its jsut whats best around here and its a pretty bad selection

just wait...or you will make a really bad decision in life and will hate yourself :P

I just bought my 10th AE for $3000 and is in excellent condition.

autopilot

I'd give him $500 for it, because you know it's going to take $2500 to get it right. If you've got the time & money, go for it.

Print this thread out for the seller to show him he's way too high.

Crionics

I agree, and I own an AE.

NSXchink

omg tell him to go to he!! find another car

No more than 1000. Its still an AE, but a shitty AE.

Dan H

Then be more patient. If you buy that 10th AE, you'll be kicking yourself when theres another TII up for sale for the same price and in 5x better condition.

I would know since I bought my '87 TII in a rush and regretted it. I then went and bought an '88 10th AE for $900 and am now rebuilding it. So I know everything will be like new and it will be done right without breaking the bank.

BlaCkPlaGUE

thats a parts car! too much to fix for it to be worth it, the damage on the front there is alot of work..
The only way I'd buy a 10th ae is if it was in good condition, especially the interrior and exterrior, those are the hardest parts to replace IMO. Engine work, well for me, is the fun part. As long as it runs, and compression is good, I love fixing up and shining up the rest.

capn

well the body is no problem, my best buddy owns a body shop and owes me a couple favors.

and im in the process of rebuild an engine now so thats no prob. the only prob for me is the interior because i have no idea where to find the right leather or where to purchase that stuff.

any ideas?

Chuckles

You sound like you've already talked yourself into this AE, no matter what anyone tells you. If you are like me, you'll only learn by hitting the brick wall at your own pace. Hard lesson is on the way, but such is life................

capn

yeah true, but after realizing that i could do it for so little other than the cost of the car i have pretty much decided to do it.

cause paint job and body work $150
upohlstry(sp?) however much the fabric is
and rebuilding engine like $500
Misc. $500

so to me the high price of the car doesnt matter much cause i can do the rest of the stuff so cheap its not even funny.


OH and if you were selling a car for $2500 and i flash about 1 grand in $20s at you, would you change your mind about the price at all?

I can get paint, fenders, and prep material at COST, and I still couldn't pull of the body work that car needs for less then 600-700 dollars, to do it near right... Do you work for Dupont and Mazda or something?

Dan H

Rebuildling the engine too is like another $700+. Thats with a gasket set too.

Anyways, you need bare minimum $2500 to get it done "right" and not some quick fix. Thats assuming you do every single piece of work too.

capn

No i dont work for any of them, my friend owns a body shop and owes me big, so no cost to me. and the other stuff is just kitty ****
