How much is this car worth?
« on: August 25, 2013, 05:25:42 pm »
Found on Craigslist:  http://columbia.craigslist.org/cto/4017176432.html

An 88 manual transmission 4 cylinder.  Called the guy and it has around 150,000 miles, new tires and several new parts. This makes its condition better than average.  But the AC doesn't work and there's a small hole on the front passenger side bumper.  This makes the condition less than good.
 
So how much is this car worth?

An opinion only:

The interior says it's a Formula which would be a V6, not a 4-cylinder.  It has the 120 MPH speedometer cluster and the auxiliary gauges.  If that's the case, the deck lid has been replaced with a non-spoiler lid and the car has been repainted at some time, though the rear fascia still has the VIN sticker behind the license plate.  I'm not sure what those discolored stripes on the deck lid are about.  I can't tell if it has quad exhausts or not.  The picture is too dark.  With the other issues like the front fascia and the badly worn interior, I'd offer $1800, max.

If it is a 4-cylinder, I'd not go more than $1200. 

Just my opinion.

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Strange car -- it has Formula gauges, but base coupe wheels. Is there anybody near Camden SC able to look at it?
