Just bought a Smart Car.... Need to price advise on the Turd...

Well I just took delivery of a 2008 Yellow Smart Coupe and need to thin out the herd a little at my house, so I need some HONEST opinions on setting an asking/selling price on the Turd.

1990 Blue Miata 140k+ (odometer/speedo doesnt work-bad cable)
1.8L 1994 Swap using FM kit (I did this last year)
2001 Transmission last year (40-50K transmission)
Newish Falken Azenis on 94-97 Wheels
Good HD Clutch (Mid grade Tq clutch - cant remember name)
Rust in the Quarter Panels
Dent in the front Quarter Panel
2000 Glass top with patch (looks a little ghetto)
Loud 2.5" exhaust ( can swap back to a stock fairly easy...)

Any Ideas?

two fiddy? ;)

Seriously though. $1500-$2000 depending on how well you can polish the turd.

Hey Chris,

I have a buddy that is in the market for a cheap... very cheap Miata track car.

Got any pictures of the car handy you can e-mail me or post?

I will take some pics tonight.

Did I mention - 94-97 14" w/ Fresh Azenis

This is an old picture w/ the old steelies.....

Wow, get a load of how big those brakes are, they fill the entire wheel ;)

Are those three lug wheels!! I feel the potential for disaster here is huge.

Looks great there Chris.
Congrats on the new car.

Three luggers! Wow! :burnrubr:

Bean sound great! I'll even let you drive. Any chance you could bring an engine shortblock down to me from Gary's? I'll pay for part of your gas....

Well considering it was designed by Mercedes and has a low tire air pressure sensor, I dont think I have to worry about losing a wheel....

Looks very cool Chris... So how much boost can a 1 liter aluminium block handle? Hmmmm.

Well, they do have a turbo version in the UK, so I am sure a mani/turbo and DP will make its way over sooner or later..... but this looks like a cool option as well....

Kags, when the warranty runs out, you need a Hayabusa transplant.
