you have to subtract your labor. a market is made when you have a buyer and a seller. you can check kbb.com as it takes into account your geographic area. that being said, some cars have provinance. this one does not. dan

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: [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 exhaust) 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!
