Not sure if this is the correct place to post this to be honest.
Thinking about getting something new/starting a new project; a FD RX7.
I've had two stock rx7's offered for trade for my car but I really don't know that it would be an equal trade. I need help placing a value on my car although I know that vehicle value is partially opinionated. I'm not meaning value at a dealer stand point but as in someone looking for an already built car.

Bottom end inspected, no damage to rod bearings and no play in the rods.
All oil relocation lines replaced 3000 miles ago to thicker higher flowing lines.
New alternator and starter 5000 miles ago.

Cons
Basically all that is wrong with the car is the body and aesthetics.
Needs a better paint job. Pinch welds are fairly scraped up, quarter panel damage, red engine bay and trunk.
Passenger door doesn't open from outside. It is gutted besides the door handle, window, speaker and side mirror. I have the parts however.
Chance customs quoted me 300. Import Dynamics quoted me the same.
Fenders are pulled however noticeably damaged from retarded wheel fitment. Rear fenders are actually okay though.
My top was cut on new years day. Two slashes near the plastic window (both sides near quarter panel) and on top in the very middle they cut a large hole.
The two slashes have been sewn and the hole has been patched. NO leaks. A new softop and you're better off though.
AP2 taillights but hack job by previous owner. Can't tell with the trunk liner on.
Driver rear LCA is bent. Replaced the entire knuckle and hub assembly and was shipped a bent lower arm from a member here.
That's all I can think of at the moment.... a long list I know. Thanks guys!

Dyno tune

 

is the clear on the hood coming off? Did the door jams and under the hood get painted as well? Do you still have the orginal hood? 51k on the chassis? You still have the orginal driver's seat?

Be thankful you have that turbo kit, even if it's limiting your market, it's the only way you're gonna get anywhere near $13k for it. I'd put the car at $11k in value, and without the turbo kit around $8-8.5k

 

Hood clear is fading. Door jambs are painted. Under the hood is still red. 51k on chassis and motor.
No original hood or driver's seat.

 

The list of cons is fairly lengthy and as you said they almost all happen to be cosmetic which are the first thing anyone will notice when coming to look at the car.

Honestly I think you would have a much easier time selling the car if you ponied up for a $2-3k 'decent' paint job (along with a bit of prior body work as needed). This would help you to not scare everyone away as soon as they first look at the car.

Also the passenger door thing...just fix it. Not many people are going to buy a newer car with as stupid of a problem as that. No offense at all intended here, that's just one of those things that would make me think "really?"

If you did some body work + paint job + get the doors both opening normally, I believe you will have added more value to the car than you put in it to address those problems.

 

Yup, you can wrench all day long but it really takes a paint booth and lots of experience to get a nice paint job. $$$$$.

The logical way to do this would be to take the top selling price for a mint condition vehicle, then deduct what it needs, then deduct a little more for all the effort it will take to get it there.

You can price it high and see if you get nibbles, but I think anyone wanting to take it on would want a bargain... like 7.5-9k.

 

If you was in FL,
Id prob give you 7.5-8k
Not trying to be a dick, But I think its a fair price

 

sell turbo kit separately...

 

Not taking offense I appreciate the input of course. Thats fair seeing the condition of my car. Im aware mods dont always-or better said; usually dont increase value.

 

the good news is most of the work is cosmetic , as pointed out. If you put a little money into making it look nicer people would be more willing to give it a longer look, and since mechanically it's sound, the cosmetics are all you have to worry about.
However if the car is as-is then first impressions of the car make someone think "if the cosmetics are like this, i dont think the mechanicals are in order either"

my 2 cents
