Not trying to be nice here, but offering an alternative view. A buddy of mine recently sold his '94. It had a HardDog Sport, RB header, unknown aftermarket springs/shocks, mid 100K miles, and a hardtop. It also had an electrical problem that kept blowing the turn signal fuse, a shot soft top (holes in the window and vinyl), and bad paint, as in flaking clear coat and half-stripes. It did have a full stripe job but when he pulled the front stripes off, a layer of paint came with them on the front bumper and the non-striped hood paint was obviously faded, so he left the rear stripes on.
He sold the car on craigslist a few weeks ago in TX for $3400. For the car in question below, the actual "fair" price depends completely on the buyer and seller. I'd say ballpark of $2500-$3200. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 8:53 AM To: Ken Bogart Cc: Dan Scolnick; [email protected] Subject: Re: NPC - Value of 96 NA Oh, don't be nice!! This isn't my car, I want brutally honest. :) I think on a good day 3000, on an average day maybe 2500... but I wanted to make sure I am still thinking clearly. It's a 14 year old car with dodgy history and a mismatched set of mods...

It could sell for $3500, but you have to find the right buyer (i.e. sucker) and that takes time.

The mods are a detriment to everybody else (cept maybe the roll bar). Leaks Oil? - thinks it's a british sports car! open diff, coil overs, roll bar, etc.... all detriments to anyone looking for a spec miata (which can be picked up for far less than the above price). In these parts, an oil leaking, hard life m1 miata (that's been bastardized in it's drivetrain), he'd be lucky to get 2000 for it. people give cars like this away all the time, hard to compete against that. here's what i suggest, he should park it in the driveway with a "for sale" sign in the window. Let it sit there for 10 or 20 years, then pay someone to drag it away. dan ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto: [email protected] ] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 8:59 AM To: miatapo...@miatapo wer.net <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: NPC - Value of 96 NA Buddy has a car that he's modified in very hodgepodge fashion.. can you guys give me a ballpark of what you think it's worth? I need some honest opinions to beat him with because he lives in the alternate reality where mods return 95% investment and not out here with us where they maybe return 40% if the economy is good.. :) 96 Montego base model, open diffy 5 speed Body 7/10.. Texas car but clear coat peeling on trunk, mismatched left fender (montego but has rockgaurd while rest of car does not), door dings, etc. Typcial wear for a car that age. Top good. 90k on body, but motor and tranny were swaped from something else Rollbar (track legal) FM frame rails RB Header (but stock ex haust) KYB 8 ways and GC coilovers Fidanza FW and Spec clutch but bone stock engine, no power mods Leaks oil.. assume valve cover or CAS Otherwise runs decent, no major mechanical issues. So, what is that worth on the open market right now? I'm guessing sub 3500, but curious what you guys think. Thanks!
