Hah, you cheap bastards. If you ever want our cars to be classic and be worth some sort of money the prices on these mint condition vehicles need to go up.
Anyway, had I the money. I would deffo put down 5k for that. It's beautiful!

i think it would definatly be worth 7 grand. perhaps not much more than that considering the price new and the market valure on the 7 now. i would pick it up and store it, driving it on only the best of days.

That car is easily worth $5000, and the rest depends on history: Is the paint original, or is it repainted original color? Is the interior original or restored to original?
Depending on how close to original stock I would go $5000-$7000 easily.
If nothing else, think of it this way: a new RX8 or any other sports car will cost you $30,000 and can be expected to have a useful life of 100,000 miles. So, purely financially, this car, with 37k, is worth 2/3 of $30,000, or $20,000. I bought an 85GSl with 49k 2 years ago, and I can attest that it is as good as any 4 yr old car on the road: with 60k on the odo it has an easy 40k remaining, and is worth $10,000 just as transportation.
And it's a better car! With classic status right now, at 25 yrs old. It's an SA for hevvins sakes!
Anyone who rices or ghettos this car should be shot.

the second one is too dated.
The first is worth 5 assuming there's not one scratch or ding.
and the driver side a pillar winshield trim has paint/coating missing.
The engine bay is not that impressive,
alternator is very corroded
armour all can make any bay look good, always look at the anodized parts, such as relay boxes, brake boost line, top of charcoal canisters on later models.
the condition of those parts will reflect the condition of metal on body. They should shine silvery gold, of course this is rare.
if the strut tower studs are rusted red/brown, you can surely bet the car has lots of rust all over.
This stuff help when you have to buy on pictures.

I suspected a repaint. Nice color, though not original; I suppose it's Ferrari red. Good points on engine bay, etc. These things may detract from it's classic value, but intrinsic value as a low mileage sportty car remains.
