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...

Re: Changing car...worth it?
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...

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
