yup... car are overprice here....

The ones for sale that I saw around here in OK condition, non turbo, went for well under a grand. For instance I have a friend with an 88 GXL thats red two door non turbo asing $2000 and its in great shape and I think he's asking way too much...

Does look tempting

Money says that engine is going out too. My friend sold his turbo 2 in the exact same senario. Swapped engine, so you think its a good deal right? nope, rotarys are crap. Lick my ------- frank.

Those cars are fun as ---- to drive though. Even the non-turbo ones.

Yeah, I believe $5k is kinda high for that car...The engine would have to be REALLLY fresh(low mileage) and I'd want it checked out by someone who really knew they're rotary engines...That is a pretty clean car though, and you don't see many of those turbo models...at least not in this area...I'd say $3500 would be a REASONABLY fair price for that car, if it was in STRONG mechanical condition...

TII's if taken care of can last to 200K, it all depends on how the owner took care of it

most times though they crap out at around 100K simply because people dont know what the ---- there doing and get all confused cause it doesnt have pistons ::)

2 much

It looks pretty clean.

If you can get it for less, and swing the money to swap a V8 into it, I say go for it.

Besides the red inside the car, I'd rock it. Those cars and the old supras won't ever be made again, and I think in the future I want one.

Re: Changing car...worth it?
 
hmmmm....black T2... >:D That is one of my all time favorite cars. IMHO, if it's a 7 then it's gotta have a wankel in it. It's alittle on the high side and that red trim on the interior is nasty. I say go for it if he's willing to drop like 1-2 g's off the price.

way too expensive....you can find those for around 3K in washington...sometimes more sometimes less, just depends on the condition.

definitly looks like a nice car, looks like he kept it in good shape, if everthing is mint, offer him 3.5-4k for it. if thats what you want. if theres something about it you dont like keep looking. find the car you want to keep for awhile that way you can justify maybe paying allittle more for the kept up qualitly of the car.

Re: Changing car...worth it?
 
it's really tempting to import a car from the USA cause yes, its so much cheaper than here car are overprice and they are fewer of them (can pop 30millions usa... 300millions)... also most of the time, no rust problem, but since i never import a car... seems kinda scary first cause it need an inspection to be registred here in Quebec

Re: Changing car...worth it?
 
haha nice shot sinister! you are right... 5000$ is way too much, this thing should be more 3500$ even here...
