Re: Interior price ???
Sorry, I didn't mean to mince words... Red is just about worthless. Unless someone NEEDS it, no one is going to pay much for it. Tan is slightly less worthless, but just barely. Gray is fairly easy to get rid of, because it's so common you can part it out, but it's not worth anything. Black is the only color I'd really say is easy to sell.
If you're buying, I wouldn't pay much. Like MAYBE $150 for everything inside the car, unless it's in exceptional condition. I mean seat belt receivers are uncracked, bright orange buttons, no fading, no holes, no wear in the carpet. Subtract heavily for fading, and wear. The seller is lucky you're buying it at all.
If you're selling, don't get cocky. If you have a chance to get rid of it, make a deal fast before they get away. It's more trouble to store the stuff than it's worth. I'd dump the small parts on Ebay if I were REALLY motivated, and throw the rest in the trash unless someone local wants it.

Re: Interior price ???
Are you buying or selling? Is it for your '91 Formula?

Re: Interior price ???
BTW, I LOVE an unfaded red interior. But usually they are faded pink.

Re: Interior price ???
There's about ( basically not technically !) 12 color specific panels inside a Thirdgen,..... @ $10 each your looking at $120; good luck finding a set of quality panels for $10 per panel. ( IMO: A $10 panel will be low quality, only good for being dyed/painted and not much else. )
Exactly why those 'odd ball' colors are worth more and more everyday. 'Back in the day' grey was worthless and so were most other colors because everyone wanted to swap to black. 20 years later; guys today are buying antiques and are only interested in returning the car to original by replacing a couple bad panels rather than a complete color conversion. Sure; you can sell a slightly worn black panel quick, but the the same kind of panel in Brown, Sand Grey, Blue or Maroon in equal condition will also fetch far more than your average black panels - even if it does take longer to sell. Back in the 90's I couldn't give away tan or red interior panels - any of them. Each of those colors sell for good $$ today when in high quality condition.
FBodyLuv: No one can price an interior for you........ the worth of plastic interior panels is first and foremost going to depend on what kind of shape the panels are in. What-ever color you need, you need. They are all going to be used parts, so their physical condition is going to be the primary factor in determining their worth. If they are scratched-up, or sun-bleached they are junk - period. Only once you shop around to see what people are asking for similar parts in similar condition can you decide what your willing to pay for them.
