Hey Y'all

Post by 83Starion »

Hey People,

just taking a big step, and asking people on what kinda price I would get for my starion? it's one of the better conditions ones I have seen,

no rust,
rebuilt motor (hasn't done 200 kays yet)
new power steering pump,
new xtreme heavy duty clutch,
new master cylinder & slave brake clutch cylinders
(non leaking eci)
all original (got white wheels now but do still have originals)
getting a TC06 turbo on soon

only thing wrong is some chips of paint came off the front bumper, and i touched them up with colour coded paint.

I have a figure in mind, but i'd thought i'd ask first

P.s I am actually after a Chrysler Centura as a project, so that's why I need some $$$

Cheers

Heath

We need to see some pics to determine worth accurately.
What's the inside like?
Matching interior bits can be hard to find in good condition.
Accessories?
Stereo?
Steering wheel?

The less that a prospective buyer has to spend to fix her up/modernise her, will obviously reflect the purchase price.

I am no expert, but personally I would pay around $3000 for it if I was to buy it if you have the receipts for the motor. But lets see what everyone else thinks.

Starions should be given out free with every birth certificate! Alas, in this crazy world we all gotta pay our way. Mine was in a bit better condition then yours, except some cracks in the seat leather, when i bought it. 179,000k's, CD player etc. I payed $4000 for it. I'm gonna sit with woody on this one, but i'm no expert. I'd pay 3k for it, maybe add a few hundred - tops - based on how the thing feels on a test drive.

looks a bit rough around the edges with fading paint, missing stereo surround and cage, holes in the doorcards for speakers, and the front footwell carpets look a bit worse for wear. The engine bay could do with a tidy also, like putting the spark plug leads in the correct holders and do something about that non-stock crossover pipe - it almost looks like that piece of radiator hose you've used is a bit kinked in the middle.

LOL fair enough, wanna see faded paint, have a look at the one on ebay at the moment, the outside of mine hasn't faded at all, I think it's a had a respray somewhere down the line, i'll have to go to a exhause shop for that cross pipe I reckon becuase it's a different housing on the turbo, need a temp solution lol

is it meant to be a light red/pink/magenta shade of red? what's that at the bottom of the front driver's door, specifically around the trim strip on the sill?

you could always rotate your compressor housing and then make a FMIC setup - would make it go alot better and might attract a higher value. What's on there at the moment looks like a temp setup to me!
