Default Re: Link for TR values

i don't believe the NADA is the best gauge for the value of one of our cars. the way they get the values is by sampling the selling prices for every such car, and they don't at all consider any modifications that may have been done. as we all know, it is somewhat hard to find a stock gn or t-type out there, and the fast ones tend to go for a lot more money. the current nada says the LOW retail for a t-type like mine is 7 thousand something, and high is in the 20s. there's no way my car is worth that much. look at the t-types in the for sale section -- the only ones going for over $7000 are either highly modded or in pristine shape with VERY low miles. hardly low retail. bottom line -- mods affect the values of our cars so much that you can't just go by one simple set of guidelines. you have to take everything into consideration.
