it has alot of power it can get up to 240km on open road and its in high demand for drifters and they are really rare in this condition and it has no problems at all its pretty much brand new still

Early ninties, automatic v6. Those are your problems. :) Seriously though, have a look around on here. The only ones that fetch a decent price is when someone is silly enough to pay for it. A drifter could get your 10,000 dollar 929 or a ready to go silvia from the same era. What would you choose!

No its not in demand for drifters.

Look at what Sentias are selling for on average and add a grand or two due to its condition.Thats what you will get, I can tell you now it ain't going to be in the $8-15K range.A buyer wanting a largish Jap car (and there isn't that many of them) can buy something at least 10-12 years newer for that money.

i would choose the 929 and all it would need to be the perfect drift car is a manual box in it
blayke-m,

its nothing like a sentia
jsbike,

so keep it. and yes a 929 and senita are the same, just like a lexus es300 and a toyota windom.

Sorry but it is, the Sentia is the JDM name for the 929.Put Sentia in the used car search box if you don't believe me.

a mazda sentia is actually nothing like the 929 the car that is the same as the 929 is the mazda luce and the mazda luce cosmo

You are getting some "model era's" mixed up here,The Cosmo used to be the equivalent, but not by the '90's it wasn't!

Sentia, 929, same car.

Denial is the first stage of grief.
Its worth four to five grand if you're lucky.
More as a trade in on a new car at a dealership. It ain't a drift car.
Stick a 13b in it and sell it as an RX4.

we got it valued about a year ago and they said it was worth bout 9 or 10 grand
foxdonut,
May 12, 6:07am
Who's "they"!
blayke-m,
May 12, 6:08am
the valuer people said it was worth about 9 or 10 thousand as is
foxdonut,
May 12, 6:12am
Well now we're telling you its worth less than 9-10k.
Are you planning on selling it on TM! Set a high reserve on a low starting auction and see what you get. If it doesn't sell, relist until either you get what want, it doesn't cost to relist, there's nothing to lose.
"Valuations" on the MB's tend to be low, but I reckon we're all right to say you won't get 10 grand for it.
freedomaira320,

If it's in exceptional condition someone might stretch to about 5k. Nice enough cars. I remember when they first came out they were quite a radical design, now they seem so boring.

It's a wonder why the OP even bothered if they already knew the answer!

Good attitude mate. (I mean that seriously)Try your luck you may prove them wrong! but Idon't think so. Good luck anyhow.

Personally given what it is and the values as in post 1 why not start an auction buy now 15k start 8k reserve 10k.
