anything special in here?

[fishpony]

What can you guys tell me about this car





it's got 193k miles on it, what's should i pay for it?

Thanks!!!

well man personaly i wouldn't pay more than maybe 1,500 becauseof the front end damage. hows it run? if it runs like crap i'd prolly either not buy it or only pay a little. but then a freind of mine bought a 95 s14 with a salvaged title for 3,600 so its all up to you and were you live.

its a pretty clean se it would be worth some decent coin if the mileage was lower and it wasnt wrecked.

but the front end damage is fixable

$1500-2000 if the interior is decent and it runs good. But on the other hand it has a redtop swap! jk.

It's 5 lug so that's a plus and it looks pretty clean plus it could just be the angle but it looks lowered, which could be a good thing depending on whats making it lower, if it is a hack lowering job subtract $500 from it. Being an SE adds value.

All said and done I see nothing special about the car, and the mods are nothing special, they take value away from the vehivle. But if the price is right and that's the type of car you want, all the power to you it looks decent.

No more than 2k. zenki's are a dime a dozen so i wouldnt ever buy a damaged 1. It has the front lip though which is sweet and the front end damage seems minor.

Cool, thanks for the responses guys, I've been looking for a wrecked 3rd gen RX-7 but finally started to look at 240's since theres more of them. Really want to do an LSx swap into something... This one is up to 500 and i'd have to pay another 4-500 for transportation. Guess i'll keep looking and reading.

$2500 TOPS!! yes the car is lowered, i can tell. whats lowering it?? i have no idea. it is a 5spd SE, so thats a really good foundation. the front end damage is very very minimal. a new/used hood, passenger side fender, headlight, and corner light will have that thing looking new in no time!

all of those parts are a bolt on affair. just jamb the fender (if it isnt already red) before you bolt it on with some red spray bomb. parts alone should be no more than $200.

the paint work (if you want a good job done) will cost around $500-$700 (base/clear). in order for it to look like nothing ever happened, the painter will have to respray the entire front bumper, new hood, new fender, and then blend into the driver side fender, and passenger side door.

lets round it up to $1k for everything to be fixed, that way you know how much youre going to have to put into it after/if you decide to purchase this car (bring this up as a factor in your offer as well, and the high mileage when bargaining). remember, you can always start low and work your way up.

ask the seller exactly what he was looking to get for it. if he says 3k, tell him youll take it away right now for 2k, and tell him the reason behind your offer. hell, print up a kbb value and bring it with you. if the seller doesnt bite for 2k, or whatever you offer him just say thank you for your time and start walking away (this would be a bluff, and hopefully hell fold.... i play p0ker LOL). show the seller the 2k in cash that you have when making your offer so he knows youre serious, and ready to buy. while walking away, if the seller really wants your money, hell call you (p0ker term lol) and either take your offer, or reraise your offer.

if you get to this point if the seller doesnt settle for the first initial offer this is good. youve got him trapped to sell the car to you, but at what price? just keep reiterating how much youll have to put into the car, and the cars actual KBB value. hopefully you will get the car for the max price youre willing to pay. another thing, keep the $2k in one pocket, and the rest in another

question for you.... how much are YOU willing to pay for it???

[urcaptnspeaking]

Id go no more than 2,200. It is a 5 lug car. Its clean and the only damage is superficial.
