Never ever sees rain either apparently. What ever way that's ment to put your mind at ease about?

Haven’t a clue. I’m willing to bet that it’s been sprayed at some point, or at least some of it. The bumpers and mud flaps are far too clean as with the front grille. Silver is also the worst colour for them.

What would be a more realistic number for it?

Closer to 4/5k?

Only said it a few weeks ago one sold here with 100k on the clock for if I remember correctly 1200. Gtfx one, black. Stored in a garage for the last 8 years too. I missed out on it by a few hours, didn’t even know it was for sale. I think at the time someone posted a dd link here to one for 7k.

I don’t know is the answer. Who knows. Jap stuff is mental.

There was another one for sale a few months ago that had a full restoration, think it was 8k? Also in Cork


Edit, here it is

I'd say €3K would be a very good price for it

I think around €5k would be about right. I wouldn’t pay that for one but plenty would.

Was thinking €5k ish myself. They are scarce now and there is a certain appeal with them.

I'd give him 2k for it since it's a 20V and not a 1.3..... Who cares anyways if it's a 20V... Everyone out there is gonna see it as a 1.3 anyways. There is no appeal in it for me, it still looks like something your Grand mother bought in the 90's when you were making your communion. He would not get a cent more then 2k from me. It would have to be in great condition to.

I think you’re being a bit harsh on it, fair enough they don’t look anything special, and 160bhp isn’t a lot by modern standards but the 8500rpm redline makes the car special IMO. Plus you have the rarity and the very thing that you don’t like about them makes them great.

Redline is only 7700 on them isnt it?

So, you don't like it so it's worth €2k, basically?

It's a one off alright.

What kind of dope would drive that never mind pay €8.5k for the privilege?

It's worth whatever anyone is willing to pay for it, I'd give him 2k, thats my price.. If anyone gives him his asking or near his asking price then all for them. To me it's going to be a nuisance to insure because of the age, also 1.6 tax on the old system. It does not appeal to me aesthetically either.
I don't see that selling for an awful lot more then 2k to anyone unless they have some nostalgia towards that particular model. If I was going to spend upwards of what he wants for it I'd be looking at something else like a 200sx. I think there are many chancers out there ratcheting up the prices of old jap cars. Are they selling for those mad prices? I see the same old jap stuff advertised for months and months and they are not going anywhere.

You might get a special dispensation if you claim to be taking direct to the scrapyard.

Have you the slightest idea how much a 200SX would set you back these days?

I know who’s bloody dreaming if you’re trying to pull a comparison to that. Haha

To be fair, its not going to sell for any amount to anyone unless they have some nostalgia towards that particular model. Your average Joe Soap isn't going to go out with €2k in his pocket for a Corolla and buy that.

I've seen the silly prices some of those 200sx are going for. Those sellers are also dreamers.. Just as an example if I were going to pay silly money for a jap car I'd rather it be a 200sx or similar. I wouldn't buy one in Ireland anyways, I'd import one myself if I was in the market for one. Any moderately high performance jap import these days is priced based on what the "lad" thinks it worth and what money he has put into it + what he see's others on donedeal going for + a few grand extra for good measure! It's so true...
Some of those cars were very cool and still are but you would be bleeding mad to entertain their prices. You would really REALLY want to have one to pay that sort of money. Anyways it's the buyers choice to pay it and good luck to them with it.

Every generation gets shocked when the cars they saw being sold for peanuts at one stage shoot up in value. I remember when you could buy Twincams for under £500.

CianRyan

The problem with your arguement is people WILL spay that much for them, and so they are worth that much.
If you’re not willing to pay that much that just means you either can’t afford it or you can’t justify it. That is completely different.
