New member posts a "what's it worth" thread on post #1. I'm not a fan of this kind of thread, but I guess we don't have the problems we used to have with members trying to sell cars in the general car forums a couple times/day.

Nice looking car. The only use for such a car to me is as a driver, but without A/C, I wouldn't want to drive it in warm climates. The mods hurt its value on the market, but not to me. I think headers and intake are very tasteful and are among the best bang for the buck. The stated hp numbers are too high, though. Still, you can get a pretty spectacular car for $8k with more mods, lower miles, and A/C. Hard to come by a car this clean for $5k, though. So, I'd guess 6-6.5k.

Is the reason I likely will not approve anymore threads like this from new members. Not because of the traffic or opinions, because he is a 'hit and run' member. It has happened several times, one post and gone,

As far as the original question goes.. this car will sell pretty easy. It’s not however a high dollar car. The repaint makes it nice but doesn’t help with value at all. It’s been modded a bunch, with little benefit. Hp is probably 220 or so.

That said!! Put the ac back, stock intake , stock catback and be able to actually advertise it as stock will bring more.

As it sits, 4-6k... taken back to actually stock, 5-8k.

Toss it on eBay and see what happens. You loose a good chunk to eBay though

Well being from LA...that must be why your not happy with the AC being gone. I hate AC. But really? $8-10K in LA? I checked Hagerty and I think they said $7K for excellent condition. This is a West Coast car though. Actually I'm moving to Oceanside in a couple of months but can't take the car because of emission testing down there.
 

Interesting to know the "89 is a sought after year...hopefully the mods are minimal enough to affect the car value (they can always be undone if you wanted to). And at first I did not like the giant head rests...then I thought about winding up a quad from a rear end...and now they make more sense.
 

I am from Iowa... IA. A clean old car holds more value here because we suffer from rust issues from road salt.

And in the end, it really is all about what someone is willing to pay for it.
 

You hate AC??
