100k$ rx7
Came across this interesting article. Thought I would share.
https://www.driven.co.nz/news/news/t...-over-100-000/ |
I think that a pristine R1 or R2 (or Spirit R) could reach $100,000 in a few years.
|
^I firmly believe $100K will hit independent of it being an R1/R2. The reason that I say that is because outside of the forum (and its influence), there's isn't any proof that people who pay top dollar for these cars place any value on which trim the car is.

They're weird and rare and the herd got thinned pretty hard. Now you can't have one, and you have to know what you're doing to keep one. With true sports car feel, great driving dynamics, and undeniable aesthetics the eccentricity and rarity are the classic formula for high dollar sports car. It's way more of a tinkery, looky, drivey thing than most in it's class.

Yes, it's already been proven that the trim doesn't matter too much right now. But I think any kind of special edition will be extra valuable farther in the future.

While some bidders.buyers may see the R1/R2 cars as being better, many will see them all as abut the same and we know that any base car can be made into an R1 with shocks and springs and sway bars. There's really such a small difference.

I think there's a very good chance we hit $100,000 USD this year. Could take till next year, but soon. Like I said years ago, this is going to follow the appreciation path of the E30 M3. I think it will surpass that "other" Japanese sports car in value...

yea theres a low mileage spirit r listed for $130k AUD right now. I imagine those will be VERY expensive when they become eligible for USA.
|
Main thing to keep in mind $100k Aussie or NZ Dollars is not USD.
There are no JDM models with tan interior, is this an Australian model only thing? |
^ It was a US touring model that went for $70k here in the states, the article just converted it to NZ$.
|
Hmmm, image showed a RHD.
***Edit*** Nevermind picture appears to be inverted on the page. Engine bay clearly LHD. |
After that BaT auction closed, I had someone reach out to me and offer me $70k for my 1181 mile MB on tan '93 Touring. Talk is cheap as they say, but I wasn't inclined to explore the matter further. So I'm unsure of how serious of an offer it was, but it's irrelevant for now as I'm finally back in the NJ area with plates on the car so I plan to enjoy it a little :)

WOW.........this again..........
Ok according to some folks on this forum, paint color, interior color, model and year just don't matter when it comes to FDs as they are all equally desired/valued. I give up :) |
