Looked at an 89 today... opinions wanted

[viva_brasil]

So I went to go check out an 89 turbo that I'm considering trading my bike for and I'm wondering what this car is worth... Info I have on it:

Chassis and car overall has 190k miles. Motor has 70k miles- MHG, polished IM, plugs/wires, Bosch BOV, KN intake... but stock IC and piping and injectors. He shimmed the wastegate, previous motor apparently was boosting to 14psi without hitting fuel cut, this one is boosting to 12 or so but it hits fuel cut now (don't know why... he's looking into it).

It's a 5speed, has a fidanza FW and zoom stg. III clutch. Mileage unknown. Has catless downpipe and a flowmaster exhaust. Springs and tokico shocks too, and momo steering wheel.

I drove it and it felt nice, but I didn't have enough time to really go over it. Interior was apart since he was fixing the radio, door handle is loose but he has a new one.

Paint looks good, no rust in the trunk- targa needs to be sealed up better and the back trunk looks like it leaks a little bit.

I'm wondering what the price point for this car would be? Just so I have something to base the trade on and have an idea of how much cash I should ask for (my bike would sell for around 5k).

Thanks guys- hope this works out so I can become an official member of the MkIII community.

Bike plus 1000 so you can buy a lex afm, 550 cc injectors and a apexi safc

Any pics?

And a boost leak will cause a fuel cut issue like your describing

I was thinking something more like 2000- assuming the car's value is around $2000. Am I off?

yea, 2k sounds about right if not high with all those miles, really you're just buying the motor and the mods. I'd sell the bike outright and find one with less miles.
