Do N/As have any value beyond scrap metal around here?
I'm just idly curious.
I have a 140WHP 88SE, with a SAFC-II, working AC, no emissions, rebuilt motor with 25k miles run on premix it's entire life, etc.
I've been trying to sell it for close to a year. Price started around bluebook ($2900), is now down around $1800, and I've had zero interest. Period. It doesn't have a turbo, therefore it's worthless. I'm a grad student, and I can't really afford to do the suspension/etc, so I'd just like the money for now.
Has the bottom completely fallen out of the NA '7 market? Or am I just not advertising in the right places?

What's up Russ? dude if I could sell my subaru and justify driving a rx7 year round I would totally buy your car and use it as a daily. I can justify that the engine is very strong in this car for a stock port n/a

the market is still there, you just have to find it. for example, today my buddy went down to chicago to buy an ok condition 91 N/A for 2K, and 2 weeks ago i nabbed a good condition 86 N/A that sat for 6 years for $250. i wouldn't mind picking up another FC, especially a good running one, but i have too many cars (honestly dont even have room for the 86 i just got). I recommend trying craigslist (thats where my buddy found his 91). good luck

carsoup.com for the twin cities area in Minnesota - $25 and you can run the ad forever as long as you keep remembering to renew it. Worked for me with past cars for sale.

have you tried www.thepartstrader.com ? Hell at this point you could probably get more if you parted it out. yahoo classifieds might be a good place too. By all means though don't scrap it!

I'm a bit hesitant to part it out - from what I can tell, that's a great way to end up with a garage full of parts and a shell nobody wants, instead of just a car nobody wants.

I live in Kalamazoo, Mi. and I listed my car, and within the first day I had elevendy billion offers. And at that time, the car had almost nothing done to it. But I decided to keep it.
