Underpriced FD- ????

[Kevin]

It is depressing mate, but then again your not the only one who\'s FD owes them alot more than the current market value.

The main problem with the prices and the way they are going is this:

If the average cost of a rebuild is around £3K and you\'ve got cars with rebuilds going for around £3.75K then it\'s basically saying a blown rx7 is worth about £750.  Now then if prices carry on falling to the point where an average rebuilt FD is worth the same as an engine rebuild then the actual FD itself is worthless.

If that becomes the case then people would rather just buy a rebuilt FD than buy the car + cost of rebuild.  Therefore you end up with a surplus of blown FD\'s that are  hypathetically worthless.  Therefore only thing is either break them or scrap them.

On the upside if this does happen and we eventually come out of this credit crunch then the FD will be alot rarer than before, and as it stedily enters into the state of being a classic then it will demand a higher price tag....... technically?

Anyway thats my 2p...... or in the current market 1p.

Its not the cleanest of cars to be honest, panel gaps and shoddy paintwork.

If it was mine I probably wouldnt have even bothered paying the 3kish to get it rebuilt.

Still, since it now has a new engine with paperwork to prove, plus the warrantee and if it has a good service history..id say its worth closer to £4,500/£5,000.

Although, saying that...there are a lot of other cars with fresh rebuilds but in better overall condition going for 5/6k...so how much would a respray cost??

I agree with everyone else though, definately make much more of an effort in the Advert. Could be the best car ever, but, if its that cheap and the advert is written poorly or doesnt tell me what I want to hear, I`d just move on.
