Whats Your Car Worth?

[Hobbo]

Now that I am in the process of restoring the FE I was wondering what Members think their cars are worth? I am just trying to get an idea how far to go on the cost of restoration and don't want to over capitalise on it too much. Lloyd

I rate my FE sedan for about €6000 and my FC ute for about €10000 but you'd have to come and get them!!

If you are in it for the money you'd better stop now 
Seriously though, unless you can do everything (esp Paint and Panel) yourself you'll never get your money back, from what I have seen the better FE/FCs sell for between $10,000 and $15,000.

Stinky is right, there is usually a big           gap between spend and worth.
But when you insure, it should be on the right side of the spend component.

Well it also depends of course,on the start base.
If your car is in reasonable condition b4 the resto,obviously it will be cheaper to rebuild.
I very recently got an overall good condition FC std for $3500 and i reckon if i spend another $3500
it will be worth $8000 to $9000.(well i hope so anyway)
Good luck with it
