What is this car worth? Edmunds says it's worth $30-34K in its current condition.
Best guess on how much to restore?
Thanks very much all! Try not not to shed a tear as you read about the condition.
1994 Auto with 108K miles and although it drives fine, I found the following:
- Steering wheel is about 15 degrees off center
- Both front tires have 1.5" of wear on the inside tread.
- Car shifts fine and 0 to...er...a lot was just fine and smooth - the sales associate had nerves of steel
- Sportshift up/down even heavy downshifting worked fine.
- Front/Rear tires don't match so someone went cheap when they replaced them.
- Dealer admitted that it had not had it's 90K service so Timing belt, pumps...etc.
- Pretty sure it has not been repainted because the paint is trashed, chips, no dents, possible overspray on rear tail - maybe accident although Carfax didn't show one.
- Crack in the clear plexiglass cover over the gauges.
- Digits missing from the LED for the SportShifter in the dash next to gauges.
- Engine seemed to idle fine.
- Hatches didn't close perfectly but I think it's wear on the mechanisms not due to accidents - not sure.
- Body seems strait.
- Center console needs to be replaced the plastic 'frame' is peeling.
- Drivers left seat bolster is worn from getting in/out.
- Car went from New Jersey-->Virginia-->California and hit at least 1 auction in between.
- The dealer said I could take to an Acura dealer of my choice - I think it will be the first time it's seen one!
That's all I saw in about 30 minutes!
