She doesn't think it's worth anything. Been in the garage the last 15 years and not driven. Would there be a problem with the motor if it sits that long? It has a new paint job. I think even a new motor would make it a good vehicle. I need to let her know it's worth selling. She's having financial problems and needs top dollar. Is it worth fixing up with a new motor? Not sure about mileage, but it still looks new.
I need a dollar amount, not just 'alot' or 'not much'. I don't think Kelly book goes that far back. I tried once.
I went to KBB and it goes back to 1989. What would a collector pay?
 
the motors have complex seals and tend to leak causing the motor to smoke or burn oil extensiveley . If you start it and rev it and no visible smoke appears it may be worth minimal dollars under 2000. this also depends on the rest of the car .In other words a smokeless motor is worth 1000 tops and the rest of the car on its condition
 
NADA is just like KBB, but they have a classic cars section for that 87 RX-7.

It sounds like it costs at least $10,000 since it is in like new condition.
Ones in bad condition with high mileage usually go for $3000.

The Engine is a rotary engine, which are supoosed to be driven every day and not sitting. Most probably, the engine will have problems starting. Before trying to start, I would replace sparkplugs, distributor cap , get an oil change and replace oil filter and battery.
