All you guys swapping to hard tops. The sunroof cars are the rare ones in most of the world

I'd suspect body work would lower it even further.
Over 50k miles, paint work and body work may increase the value depending upon what was done and the quality of the work.
Priceless though for an owner who likes a hard top

My car paint is 10 of 10 but it is a drivers car with 113k on the chasis. I may just buy a hard top just in case I want to change it. I beleive in driving thse cars and enjoying them. With that said if I came across a 50k or lower oem car for a good price I would buy it just to keep it around. Once that 50k car hit a good profitable price I would sell it. I know these cars will continue to increase in price. I saw that GTA just added it to there game. A new generation is now being introduced to this great platform. $$$$ I predict that the average Fd in great shape will cost 50k by 2022. The 50k cars will be more.

I agree however in 2023 we may see the debt market implode and people will be unloading cars, campers, houses etc..... The future right now is looking volatile IMO. Prices on everything are anything but stable in any direction.

I had my VR R2 for sale 2 years ago for 38k (had 26k miles on it at that time currently has 36k). Now I'm keeping it for a very long time as I can't find any FD that I'd want for anywhere near a reasonable price etc.....

I hear you. I'm still running around town in my FD, playing golf (just got my game back into the 70s), guitar etc..... but I'm taking time off from the track stuff as it takes too much time/$$$$ and energy.
