my mate bought a stock standard for 4000 a short while back. Then we spent a few hundred on it coz it was leaking a bit of oil from the dizzy and the clutch was really worn. All in all the car is worth close to 5000 and if we've been getting offers for 4500 just coz it's got wantanabe style wheels (Takumi tax in action).
Then another mate has another sprinter, with a GZE motor, fully worked up with the lot engine mod, suspension, ECU etc etc and street tuned. Just sold for 7,000 mechanically immac but body need attention. Definitely race ready.
they may not be the best cars around but because
1. they're toyota, solid and reliable as long as you don't do anything stupid with them
2. the ride is fantastic. My mate's stock standard has tokico shocks on it and after a bit of adjustment and setup, it's a really nice ride.
3. balance and handling on them, for a 1983 car, makes 20 years to now look like standstill because some cars today can't match up with them on this aspect.
sorry to hear about your accident but the bottom line is that the car is ideally worth around 2000 based on market values. However it is worth more to enthutiasts and nowadays people buying sprinters are enthutiasts who know its capabilites and potential more than anything. Getting it perfect, you better have insurance so as you won't be in this situation. I hope for the best outcome and really sorry you had to go through this. I personally wouldn't be such a perfectionist with a 22 year old car until it becomes a classic.. but yea that's my 2 cents.
