Re: How much are the turbo models worth now?

It's really hard to say how much. Each car is completely different when it comes to being as old as they are now. Depends on how many owners, body condition, and how it's running.

The thing that will drop the value down drastically, is if it's been modded. If some kids opens the hood and adds an exhaust and does stupid little things, the value goes low. If the car was completely built, front to back, and perfect shape, it will be worth more.

You would have to take it on a per-basis account to really see how much they're worth. I would spend $5k on one if the car was a virgin, in great shape, and driven well and maintained well. Wouldn't spend more though.
