I talked to the lady that owned it and she told me,get this, she told me she was keeping it for it collectors value. I looked at her with a blank face and was like "you realize that those cars arent worth anything, and all your doing by letting it sit is ruining the motor?" she goes "oh no, its worth something I'm sure, its a mint condition sports car. It has a rotary engine, if you know what that is. they dont make those anymore." The dumb bitch didnt even realize I just pulled up in the same kinda car! Damn, what the hell is wrong with people!

I offered her $1500 and she laughed, saying it's worth at least $6000. It was my turn to laugh. I told her that when she's ready to get rid of it, to give me a call.B

Original MSRP
88 TII: $21,800
88 10AE: $24,650
Original Price Difference = 13%
KBB Current Value (Private Party, Excellent Condition, Low Miles, Florida Zip Code)
88 TII: $3,525
88 10AE: $3,715
Used Price Difference = 5.4%
Using your KBB numbers, the difference is 6%, which is close enough to 5.4% for government work. Granted, the original MSRP numbers that I posted are not 100% accurate due to regional differences, options, etc., and the KBB values are not set in stone, either, but I think this gives a good overall view of comparative pricing. If you assume those values to be hard numbers, the 10AE is actually losing its value faster than the TII, lol.

KBB goes out the window when you start dealing with older cars. For instance, my girlfriends volvo 740 with 390,000 miles was worth more than my oldsmobile with just under 100,000. KBB has limits...once you get to a certain age it bottoms out and mileage wise it tops out. They don't think anyone would ever drive a car almost 400,000 miles.

FYI for the nubies out there, you need to track selling prices, not asking prices. I have seen a lot of absurd asking prices, but there are not too many people who actually get suckered into paying them.

I think it this point, its safe to say that old cars like the FC will really only sell for what people are willing to give. I have personally seen a 10th AE go for 8k. And have seen them for sale for 12k (that dude, admittedly, was probably on 3 pounds of crack). I cant make any quantitative assesment of the actual selling price of the 10th Anniversary, and KBBs data can most definately be flawed because not all transactions for cars that age are recorded publicly (that could sway the numbers either way).
To me, the 10th Anniversarys are the better model asthetically, and I am willing to pay more to own one just for the knowledge that I own one of the 1500.
If that makes me neurotic, or whatever terms you used, then so be it. But I love my 10th Anniversary!...
