I was asked this question and didn't know how to answer. I have a 90 Max SE whose KBB value is about 1500 (selling for 1300) and a 92 whose about 2500. I know people in this site love this car, but how does the market treat these cars? I'll be selling my 90 in about a month and i'm wondering if anyone can give me any foresight into what i can expect. Both cars are about stock that run as they should with good bodies. Will it be sitting a while or can i expect sorta mustang-like interest where it'll be sold within a few weeks?

 

Autos sell quicker off the org, but it really depends on the local market. List it every where you can, make sure the interior/exterior is clean and you should sell it reasonably fast.

If it's stock, unmolested, in good condition, and priced decently, then it should sell quickly.

Lots of people are picking these things up as first cars for their kids now. lots of highschoolers and early college people driving them. cheap, reliable transportation. Dare I say it, it's like the late 80s Civics when I was in high school..

 

j/k

 

I have lost count of how many ragged out 3rdGens I see these days. I have been under the hood of a few of them while helping people out at the parts store / side of the road. My respect for the VG30E continues to grow. These cars have been ABUSED and are still puttering along. Still though.

 

Yeah my 90 Max probably looks exactly like yours did when it was stock, but not as shiny

 

its been real good for me but my cars were not your average 3rd gens.

 

It's a bear market

 

You don't count.

I think kbb is a decent indicator of the value on these, especially ones in good shape. Around $1500-$2500 for a nice VE is fairly common.

I didn't have much luck trying to sell mine, but my price was high because I didn't really feel like taking off any mods. I am also kind of isolated from most of the country. I had a lot of people say they wanted it, but I was too far away.

Now I kind of need to keep it because I am doing more traveling and I sold the new Tundra I had. I have driven it more this year already than the last two years combined.

 

I want another one. My daughter is coming back from France in a month and will need a car. I think it is time for her to learn how to shift!

 

i got ripped on my car, but i needed a car and my dad was being a total crap-head about what kind of car i could buy and whatnot, so I basically had to just pay whatever the asking price was. from a small dealer, after taxes and tag fees, i paid $3000 for a 147k 90 GXE.

 

Ouch...

Never buy a car from a dealer!

 

How about me? I'm happy for what I got and happy it went to another 3-gen enthusiast.

 

You would think she would have been pressured into learning it while she was there. When I went with my family everything was standard.... even our 7 passenger VW Eurovan

 

Didn't you basically get paid to sell it?

What did you end up making, like $10k off your insurance company for all the maximas?

 

I got reimbursed yes. But alot of work went into swapping engines etc the first time. But it wasn't nearly that much

 

I'll find out soon. Taking it to the nissan garage to fix the seat belts and then its off to the market.
