How to value your FD

There is a 68k mile 93 Red/Black 5 speed 2 owner car on FB right now that is overall decently clean that can be had for $16k. Owner believes its the original engine and it has some of the reliability mods. It is missing the factory IC Duct(im assuming it had a larger SMIC that was likely sold separately) and the front and rear bumpers have been repainted due to the common fading. Car is listed for $21k but seller will take $16k. Assuming decent compression its the best deal but most uneducated buyers will be terrified to look at it because of the missing IC duct.
I attempted to try to get the car back when it was listed for 21 the owner is having trouble selling because he is only willing to do a local sale. Deff Seems like a good deal but end of the day you have to be willing to work with out of state people if your trying to sell FDs sometimes

I'll say 36,500. The mileage, the mods (full exhaust and no emissions) and tan interior may keep the value reasonable. Late model clean FD could otherwise be very expensive. Can't wait to see a low mileage stock 95 on BAT.
Love the year (late model), the new engine and turbos (99s), oh and fikse wheels will never get old

This is a really nice car for someone that wants an up=the-middle-of-the-fairway FD with a very few sensible mods that's been very well kept. And the Fikse wheels are probably the best aftermarket wheels for this car. Should break $35,000.

At this mileage with those mods, probably not a big deal but feel it should have been noted in the write up.
If you look at photo #54 it can be seen.
Nice driver nonetheless - if it stays reasonable I may be interested.

It does have some new stuff like engine and turbos so it should help, and yeah those Fikse look right at home too

Time of year may have a minor affect but to me personally all I consider during the off months is whether the transport truck is driving through snow.
A good deal on this one would be 30k total cost but I don't see that happening on a 95 because of the desire to have a late model FD.

Not looking to blow up the guy's sale on BaT but the passenger side fender has been replaced. I was interested in this car awhile back and spoke with the seller.

It's always something, especially as the miles climb.
What was his selling price when you were interested? Likely the reserve is similar.

$57,777. Crack Pipe pricing? Smells like it.

What is everyone's thought on a fair price for a completely stock 93 CYM R1 (including battery cover ) with about 60k miles?
Pros:
Clean Carfax, no accidents, one owner
Original paint on all panels except on rear R1 spoiler
Cons:
Car has been sitting indoors for 10+ years and not properly stored
***All the cons that come from above with engine internals, fuel/oil/water/vacuum rubber hoses, fuel tank/lines, brake lines, suspension bushings, tires, etc.***

I'd suggest going to see it in person and making an offer. If the paint is good, interior is clean with no smell, no rust, good glass, good weather stripping, clean underside, original paint/no paint work etc.... It could very well be a 20k rolling FD because it's a CYM. However no way to really value it without seeing it and going over it carefully. May need a gas tank, engine, turbos, all sorts of accessories and be a complete nightmare to restore.
The buyers of BAT cars are brave considering the final cost can often times be inflated.

Yep the engine, turbos, model year, wheels etc... give this car a big edge or a much higher value. That said I think the MB car was a 29k FD or this one is worth 7500 more in my eyes hehe

My though on the timing is more time to shop for a better deal before driving weather and no need to rush, but that probably only apply to us midwest folks lol. This will be a fun auction to watch on a Friday afternoon nonetheless.

More like $35.5k after fees for that 94 MB.

This one could easily sell for 40, or be over bid as well. I say the sale will be approx 35 with the over at 40 and under at 30.
I still feel like the best deal on an FD is NOW. Most of the people who've been sitting on the fence will likely end up paying more not less vs whatever FD they can find today. Each day the price moves a little higher as the number of cars dwindle and the demand moves up a notch.
Again I don't get the BAT thing. You pay 5 percent for the privilege of buying an above market FD at an auction. Makes zero sense.
