As somebody else said, a car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it :mmmm

This car is great, seriously perhaps people should stop saying a car is only worth X amount. Because if you were to take a 92 in good condition, buy all the OEM bits and then paint it. You wouldn\'t be too far away from the asking price.

I know because my car has been converted to 99 spec also and I had to repaint the entire car.

Nobody seems to be complaining about Newera imports asking a similar price for a similar spec FD?

Finding a good FD is getting harder, they have all been ruined with gash-body kits in my opinion.

This is clean - just the way an FD should be!

I think the main issue is the pictures. The Newera advert is a good example, good quality pictures showing all angles, the underside, interior, engine bay etc. Good pictures sell a car. Without good pictures you wont get much interest at that price imo.

Best  thing to do is see if this sells??? but the market is very slow and cars are not selling and what with fuel cost and tbh a lot of fu#ked ones out there people are staying away from these cars!!!!! But I would get a compression test done as this will help with the sale !! I know if I didn\'t get my hand burnt I would like this one glwts

Looks like an absolutely fantastic example, Good luck with the sale :)

I also think that the market is bad at the moment, If you are in no rush to sell the car keep hold of it. I put my FD for sale on here to see if there was any interest, so far ZERO, Like Frankie3125 said running cost\'s are high, I spent over £600 this month on V power, but driving the car is so fantastic that you get addicted to the experience.

My advice would be to really think before letting this car go, If you need the money fair enough but I now realise that if I were to sell my FD I would never forgive myself, and I would not be able to replace it without spending considerably more.

For what it is worth I feel your asking price is fair, and I would certainly look at this car if I was buying an FD again.

All the very best and happy motoring

Id keep it mate too! You wouldnt get the price in this market, especially the money for the pleasure it gives when driving too! Way i see it is, £50 going into town drinking, or £50 in my 8; Vpower Nitro clearly leaves a better taste in the petrol tank than overpriced booze in town does in my mouth!!!!!!

PRICE DROP: £8995 :yes

with a few more pictures...

I agree to that something is worth what others are willing to pay for it and its up to the seller to decide what price he\'s willing to let it go at.
The market seems to be picking up lately for decent cars so there\'s no reason why, given the right length of time, you shouldn\'t get a buyer for this. If you\'re wanting a quick sale then yes you\'d have to reduce it but if you\'re happy to let it run then carry on I say.
Last thing, take the spirit R badges off!

A few people had requested that I have a compression test done, the results are below, compression is great!

Due to a change in financial circumstances I am going to reduce the price to £7500
The car stands me at far more than that but my financial situation dictates that the car must be sold.



Serious buyers please contact me on 07581457066, this car is the real deal!

That\'s not a rotary compression test.

Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!

Jon has just rung me to say he did not realise this was not a proper compression test and will now get one carried out with proper readings
All the best Clive

This car is stunning, I can vouch for the quality of this car, someone\'s getting a lot of car for their money.

Just an update...

quite a large number of people have been asking me if I have had the car compression tested and yes it has now been done..

I drove all the way to Essex on Thursday from Nottingham to see Ashton and Wayne at Essex rotary \'I would recommend these guys to any rotary owner, really friendly people, great knowledge about the cars  and very good on price\'

compression tests results to follow

Front Rotor:

Chamber 1: 7.68 Bar

Chamber 2: 7.39 Bar

Chamber 3: 7.47 Bar

Rear Rotor:

Chamber 1: 7.53 Bar

Chamber 2: 7.54 Bar

Chamber 3: 7.50 Bar

Test Results are a good pass and im satisfied that this will now help sell the car even quicker.
