That rx-7 will be worth putting on Craigslist Stealth... some kid with some money and brains would take it off you for 2x or more than what a junkyard would give you in return.

It's old, 1985, and it has over 200,000 miles. I figure the best I can do is $500.

I figure any vehicle that starts, runs, drives and is in fair shape is worth $1k.

Instead of junking the RX you could pull the motor and build a kick *** go cart for your boy.

Yeah... I agree... $500 is like giving it away... but hey, if you want it off quick, list it up on a rx-7 board and Craigslist... someone would come down and pick it up in a heartbeat I'm sure.

So you guys think I'm giving away my 91 Probe GT away (250-300 bucks) since it runs and drives? It needs freon, wipers, one electric window, a clutch eventually, and the interior is very worn, none of which I am going to fix.

I think you could get $500 easy for the Probe if it runs and drives. Maybe more if it looks good. KBB it in fair condition and go from there. But then again, I've put 7,000 problem free miles on my Cavi™ that I paid $350 for. All I've done to it is a tune up, belt, oil changes, and a thermostat.

I really do. I might go as low as $750. I also agree with manual on the RX.

Hmmm, well then maybe I get the Probe tagged and inspected and put it on craigslist. Thanks.

You haven't seen this car. Time has been a **** to it, but it still runs.

I would definetly. I think you would make more than it cost for tag and inspection.

He's not only a slacker, he defrauds his parents.
