I'm looking at buying a clean resprayed 5spd ke55 good interior good overall car engines good 14" mags with good tyres what you would say is a reasonable price with rego?

I get so frustrated by questions like this, how is this a mechanical question! And on top of that start with the search function, or go on ebay, carsales, look in the for sale section etc

www.redbook.com

I could of had a overrated 55 for $300.

Depends.

I honestly wouldnt pay over $4000 for running/rego'd tho

A cars only worth what people are prepared to pay for it really.

i guess so but who's gunna pay $100,000 FOR A 55?

thanks for the advice anastatios i didnt realise it was a mechanical forum I'm on my phone. I realise the questions something like how longs a piece of string but f@$k I'm assuming theres a few people on here with ke55s and they have an idea of what they paid or what they'd pay. I hate keyboard warriors its a pretty simple question that only needs a simple answer. So if someone could help me out it would be good

as been said its worth whatever someone will pay for it, that being said

a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand would be the going rate...

 

seriously best idea is to go through the cars that are for sale or have been

sold recently to get a perspective on prices...

 

id need pics of the car you are interested in but hey id say $3000 off the top

of my head if its as described...

There is no simple answer though. A lot of us have KEs (or used to have them) and I bet every one of us paid a different amount of money for it. I bought one for $300 and one for $200 and the difference between the two was ridiculous (the $300 one needed minor repairs for rego but was essentially stock standard apart from a bodged headunit install and the world's loudest exhaust, and the $200 one had more rust than a hairy ranga and leaked like a sieve but had electronic dizzy, uncracked dash and 13" hotwires) and no way indicative of $100 value (I sold the $300 one eventually for $300, but got way more than $200 worth of parts out of the rust-bucket).

I paid $900 for my first 55 it ran on three cylinders and had surface rust, then when I took it off the road for an overhall ( 2tg 5spd respray etc) I got a ke10 with stuffed motor for $100 and put the motor in from the 55. Sold them both for a few thou each.

 

I want a 55 now and how much would I pay ????? swap you my 180sx

 

To answer your other question "how long is a piece of string" thats an easy one. Equal distance from the centre.

If you want it you will pay as much as you can. I got my e7 for my price cos I just wanted one. Hunt, compare, beat up an old dude for his car.....

 

EDIT: Rollaclub does not condone beating up old people, but following overrated cars back to their houses and freaking them out with wads of cash is ok.
