Looking around at the cars that are said to be up for sale on this forum and around at others most I see are going for like under $1000. I was wondering, is that really the price these sell for now? I've never really looked into it much before.
I bought my 83 Ltype like 7 years ago for $1600. It had no spoiler, bad oxidation, rusted hatch and some rust on some moldings. I've not put alot of work into my car but I'm sure I've spent like 3k into my car NOT including the 2k I paid to have the 6m-ge put in after I blew the original motor. I was figuring I would be able to sell my supra for like 2k before I move (I'll be moving across country within half a year or so) and buy another when I get there (seeing as how it would cost around $800 just to transport the car there) but now I'm like thinking I might not get half that seeing what condition my car is in. <sigh>
So what is the average going price for an 83 supra Ltype.
I have the Ptype rims with newer tires. Pacesetter header (not coated). 2.5in custom catback exhaust with flowmaster muffler and new cat. K/N cone filter. A few other little things here and there but those seem insignificant to the price I could sell it for I'm guessing.
I really like my car but now I'm kinda stuck in what I should do.
1. Pay $800 to transport it across country.
outcome - I'd have my beat up supra with a good 6m-ge but I'd be out $800 plus still have the bad body of my current ride.
2.Sell it here and buy another when I move.
outcome - I'd break about even but have a supra without a 6m-ge but possibly a better body and things I want (fender flares, front spoiler, better coulour (I'd get a Ptype prolly as I like the style more than my Ltype although I like power everything))
3. Sell it here and buy a totally different car when I get there.
outcome - Could have a nicer car, possible a 86-92 supra or some other type of car even.
Sorry for the long post. I know it's not a big deal. Just this is the first time I've really thought of this and starting to doubt my keeping my car seeing as how I might not be able to sell it for that much and would be a pit in my pocketbook which isn't very deep.
