FoxRaCing 12 Posted May 15, 2021 Been offered a 1988 Avante in extremely good condition! Includes original box, manual, spare parts etc! Whats the going rate for this Tamiya as I am aware its one of the super rare ones. I have looked on ebay but are these realistic prices?! Just wanted to know whether its worth investing in? Any help appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy iine 18806 Posted May 15, 2021 I would check eBay for market prices but I believe they go from like $500 - $1200. If it's in like new condition I'd be prepared to pay on the high side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moffman 5752 Posted May 15, 2021 All depends upon the condition I'm in final stages of rebuilding my original avante and it was in really good shape but still cost me an absolute fortune for the original parts I needed and time is another thing you will need plenty of! so if you are looking to get an original just make sure it's as complete as it possible can be which means you probably going to pay top dollar for!, an avante original and re-release is always worth investing in👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
