[Supras] Worth of '90 with BHG

[berniek at technicaldevelop.com]

I've gotten good advice of several group participants I have exchanged 
mails with to repair the BHG in my '90T before selling it.  However, my 
other half thinks our lives are complicated enough, given my work 
schedule and other considerations, and we disagree about repairing it 
first.  I have no time, and will need to get the job done outside.  I 
have both a stock and Cometic gasket for it and a set of ARP studs. 


So, I'm looking for a consensus of what the car is worth as-is.  
Everything works, except the gas gauge sender at about a half tank (easy 
fix by bending rheostat arm without tank removal).  Its all stock except 
for piping the waste gate actuator to the 3000 pipe for another 2# 
boost.  Engine ran strong before BHG.  Everything else in the drivetrain 
is perfect.  I'm a senior citizen and have been gentle with the car.  
Never done burnouts, speedshifting, or popping the clutch.  
Cosmetically, the interior is perfect except for welting on the driver's 
side seatback exposed on one side from sliding in and out of the car.  
There is some cracking on the vinyl driver's door top trim from my left 
elbow.  Front tires are almost brand new Dunlop P4 performance, rears 
are the same about 40% worn.  The paint is very good as it was always 
garaged.  There are small dings in the left front front fender (brake 
handle on my 10 speed bike fell on it), one very small ding on the right 
rear near the power antenna.  There are some very small rust bubbles 
above the left rear wheel, no perforation. 


Mileage is 156K.  Mobil 1 has been used since I bought it in 1992 with 
about 45K on it.  It presently has a Pacesetter exhaust, good for 
midrange torque, but not extreme top end.  Has always passed NJ 
inspection.  It is a 5 speed targa.  A transmission bearing was replaced 
at 60K under warranty, and dealer talked me intoa new clutch (not really 
needed).


It is located in Morris County NJ, and can be driven about 10 miles, at 
which point coolant needs to be added.  It is presently unregistered.  
I'm looking to sell it before the winter snow comes. 


Any and all opinions would be appreciated.  Thanks.
