It's starting auction at $5k and I don't imagine it will go above $10k. I was thinking of bidding around $8k. Specs:>2000 model year>manual transmission>100k miles>basically stock except for a drift-boy screwdriver handle shift knob>interior is neglected, looks stock except for exhaust.
more pics.I figure either the car was side-swiped, or more likely, the drifter who bought it crashed it at slow speed sideways into a barrier or something.
>>28656850>>28656848this the swidesipe is easy to fix.I would definitely bid on it, considering it's a FD. they're very popular and, luckily, not everybody is looking through auctions these days.this is the perfect opportunity to get a good car for cheap.
>>28656853Yeah good fucking luck.>cheap? Lol>fd rotary. Have fun trying to match literally anything >whole driver side is fucked>paintHave fun. I pray for you if you get this, you have way more patience than me.
>>28656858NTA but I assume OP is not a wrenchlet (why else would he be on /o/, lol).With the knowhow, you could easily maintain a FD.
>>28656853>this is the perfect opportunity to get a moneypitfixed
>>28656858There's white doors on YAJ for $200/each. Rear fender I'd take to a bodyshop. Front fender looks fine, but if not it's only $100-200 to buy another. Repainting the entire left side is probably $2k in Japan. Plus probably a few thousand in random shit on the car (interior, new steering wheel that isn't falling apart, etc.)
>>28656861Post your workshop
>>28656899go derail someone else's thread, nigger
>>28656848>I don't imagine it will go above $10kLol
Is the subframe bent to shit or is it just the fish eye camera? If the unibody and subframes are straight just lmao if you think this won't go above 10k. You can't even get an e36 m3 for 10k.
>>28656858>whole driver side is fuckedThat's the passenger side.I hate when people don't just say left or right side for this exact reason.
>>28657006Op doesn't know that bad condition rollers already go for more than 10k. I'm not sure if this is a yahoo auction car or what, but I would expect 15-20k easily. And if it does need to be imported still, add on 15% thanks to tariffs, in addition to the other 5k in import fees that existed beforehand. If he's lucky and gets it for 15k, it'll be about 22k to his door.
>>28657006I think it's just the fish-eye. I tried to visually confirm with the wheels and they look straight on either side. Can't be sure without seeing it in person though. >>28657020I'm not exporting it. It would be staying in Japan. You can still get rollers for well under $10k herehttps://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/b1195547810?conversionType=jdirectitems_auction_DirectSearchhttps://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/f1196658179?conversionType=jdirectitems_auction_DirectSearch
>>28656848Grim state of the auto market
>>28656941Kek, I thought so
>>28657006>lmao if you think this won't go above 10krhd fd's aren't worth as much as lhd fd's. People have trouble trying to sell rhd's for $16k much the $30k some deluded retards try to get. Most fd's wind up getting parted out because nobody will pay what the retarded owner thinks it's worth.
>>28656848No, the fd is the most overpriced overhyped POSes you can waste your money on.If the owners in japan are anything like the ones here it will have the same oil in it from new because they never get the oil changed(since they leak everywhere and just get topped off forever), no service records because nobody bothers to fix anything on them except recalls and all the original wear items present like original wiperblades with the little spoiler things, original brakes down to the rivets and even the original tires all dried out and bald almost like that is something to brag about.A yugo is a better investment than these junkwagons.
Will most certainly go above 10k. Its a manual series 8, even with damage it's still gonna go for close to 20k.
>>28657706Lmao so wrong. A clean series 8 will sell for 4m yen minimum. May be a different story in America with rhd fds because poor retards imported the cheapest series 6 models they could find before covid prices.
>>28657717Typically a Japanese FD will have had every 5000km interval service done at a Mazda dealership or a rotary specialist. You dont know anything.
whatever happened to that wrenchlet rube that bought some riced to shit one and threw it at Mr Miyagi to fix everything
>>28656848>I don't imagine it will go above $10kProbably will
>>28657783It still looks stupid but it's manual swapped and runs perfect now, to the seethe of the entire board.
>>28657706>People have trouble trying to sell rhd's for $16kWhy are you making shit up?
>>28657717>If the owners in japan are anything like the ones here it will have the same oil in it from newWhy are there so many stupid faggots on 4chan?
>>28657765For a car that is "so well maintained" with 5000km services at the dealer there sure are alot of them with blowed up motors.I know not to buy one in any condition, so i know everything i need to in life.
>>28657783OP here, I’m actually thinking of buying this white FD as a second car because I need to cage one for use as a tarmac rally car and the red one has a sunroof etc so it won’t be a good option. I was planning on something else (a $4k giulia, $10k AMG A45, or $4k megane RS) but then this popped up and looks like it may go for cheap and is already wrecked so I won’t feel bad bolting in a cage. A second R-grade FD just popped up today as well.
>>28657823>blowed up
>>28656848what auction site(s) do you use?
