Ahh I see so this 1 that was on trademe was asking a bit too much,
just thought that to the right person it may be of some value.

I live in Christchurch.
I'll give you $500 for it.
I'll drive drive it to Mag & Turbo and spend $3000 on some 17's with low profile tyres and have them slam the suspension to just within legal limits (if my fat chick girlfriend is in the car with me it will become illegal on her side), then I'll pop down to Magoo and get a big arse 110 db 'muffler' fitted. After this I'll need to drop a couple of grand on a audio system that leaves the boot useless for it's original purpose as it will be full of speakers, but it needs to be loud so I can hear it over the muffler. Of course I'll have the windows tinted black (so my mates cannot see the fat chick you understand, hey give me a break - she may be fat but she is easy and surprisingly flexible).
I may even splash out on some of those fancy 'bullet-hole' stickers for the doors.
I'll now drive around town late at night while the fat chick sends out 100's of text messages to our mates so they can join in on our adventure.
It will be fun - the passengers can get pissed on mixers and throw the empty bottles out the window at square citizens. The boys might even line up against some business and all have a pissing contest to see who can get the highest up the front window.
The PO will probably ruin the evening as they don't understand what fun is anymore and I'll head back to mums about 6am after giving the fat chick a good length on her neighbors front lawn.
Shit it's good being a car enthusiast in Christchurch.
PS - can anyone tell me what these itchy red boils are on my penis? - the fat chick just thinks it is lipstick.

Fuck, that is the ultimate South Auckland pimpmobile.
Yeh I'd give it a go for a laugh, got no projects on so if I can get it 4 the right price it'll be just that.
With the exception of being in south auckland.
The guy wanted to swap 4 my legacy thats worth $5000 then asked to swap 4 my FZR....Dreamer

Ahh well I'll pass on it then, besides I drove my cage the other day...what an experience that was.
Almost made an attempt at lane splitting haha pulling back on steering wheel for some counter steering action...fail.
Brilliant, they should periodically re-test bikers for driving cars

Lets just say he was very happy.
easiest way is to put it on TM at $1 reserve and you will get what its worth, if it has rego and a new wof i reckon $1000 to 1500

Jim it was an undesirable heap of shite in 78 and more so now,personally i dont even believe its worth $500 but if roadworthy i guess,you have to factor in buying a balaclava cause fucked if id be seen driving the thing.

What the car is worth and what it will sell for are two totally different things. If the Car is clean and tidy running well with Registration and Wof then it will sell for about the $1500 mark. It might even reach $2000.
Thanks to aunty helens desire for her next job the supply of 90's fresh imports stopped which has pushed the price of older cars up.

No dis-respect Frosty,your in the game as i was for 7 years but i just cant see how this old slugs worth anything like that,2 weeks ago i went up to Timaru with a mate looking for a second car for his Mrs,we picked up a 97 Mitsi 1.3 manual hatch done 30k (yep 30) for $2250 privately,been out of the game awhile but anyone willing to pay $2000 for one of those deserves to own one.

Good for fitting a 302 and Celica 5 speed to!! (Too ow geared in the dif for an auto)
And they have a Ford stud pattern on the hubs.

Nah, they ain't got enough grunt to pull the skin off a custard....
Yeah,rear wheel drive,it will sell for a stupid price - check out old Corolla's and Corona's,anything old and rwd is fetching ridiculous prices.They are only young once - take their money,they haven't a clue you are ripping them off.

It's "old skool" and RWD, so will sell for about a brazillian dollars. A friend sold a crappy old Toyota Starlet that she was thinking was wreckers yard material for $2k and I know a young guy who paid $2.5k for one of those heinous old early 80s Corolla station wagons (the square ones that rusted).
Personally I think the only cars worth more than $500.00 are classic American tanks, and even then you only own them as a toy. I paid $500 for my Bluebird 2 years ago, haven't spent a dollar on it and it has a stereo, a heater and a boot for carrying shit in. Pretty much the ultimate car.

Drop a rota in it, bro.
Then sell it on TM with a disclaimer that "It just needs a LVV cert, and it's sweet"
