A Whats it worth thread - 87 Samurai

[rswords]

Looking at selling the wife's 87 Samurai, pretty clean overall. Has a 16v 1.6 swap, been sitting a bit and has a intermittent high end miss now. 3" springs, new 31s. Any ideas on the market and what we should ask?

I’ll start the bid at 1 US dollar


Pics with condition, miles on body and miles on motor will help a lot

Given the age & not an overly desirable vehicle, probably worth about $400 tops. But just to be safe, I can bring $500

Honestly, the Samurai market is all over the place. I've seen $2500 - $5500 as the average for relatively clean, unmolested vehicles. While trail ready rigs, super clean imports, & tintops have much higher price points.

Not sure on price, but Im interested lol. Along what Jen was saying the prices are all over the place. Jeeps tend to hover around a certain price on years but samurai not so much. Some are dirt cheap and some are way overpriced. I remember when you could pick them things up for 4-500 all day long!

Interior and engine bay photos?

Especially engine bay. When I hear engine swap I always want to see it and the “workmanship” involved.

Yeah yeah.... I'll snag some at lunch. Got those this morning when I moves it for the building installers to put up the shop

575 and a 12 pack. Final offer.

Seent a tin top a while back on marketplace priced at $12k. It was lifted with an engine swap. Pricing is all over the place.

 

[89wrangler]

Please price it high enough to keep me uninterested.

Yeah that's insane. I've been told by a couple samie guys to ask 5k. I don't know about that even.

Here the interior and engine bay. Vinyl is peeling off the interior panels but other then that (and the tools from building the shop) its pretty clean

Ooooh

Now I'm up to 7-fitty and a 20 of Bud Lite-Lime. [surprisingly refreshing]

 

[paulevans76]

I'd say you could get at least $4k, maybe 5.

Would you consider throwing in a pack of big red gum?

I'll even throw in two if you promise a handshake.
