Yup.. there was a bidding war.



67,500

 

BUT if you add buyers fee and more than likely transport your into it $70k+

Pretty cool to see the live auction demand for a FD.

 

Yep about a 5 min war and bids went from $48,900 to $67,500......sweet

 

Fritz pretty much nailed it predicting $70K +

 

Wonder who bought it, would be curious if any of the bidders lurked this forum.

 

Agreed...but at least I'm doin my part! I've put exactly 1K/yr since I've had mine, and every mile has been a dream. While I've driven it in the rain but prefer not to...I'm only preserving it for myself. When I'm gone, my unborn kids can then do as they wish with it. I'm sure a mint SSM R2 with 80K will fetch some money in the 2070s...but I'll teach them better.

$67,500 for that 94 VR with 20K tho! Love it!

 

Maybe not, but they will be on here soon looking for advice on pre-mix.

 

lmao

 

I have a hypothesis that the sale price of any given BaT FD is correlated with the % change in bitcoin price during the week the auction runs. Probably BS...

 

Very nice to see this trade roughly where we thought it would.

 

I'm waiting to see a '95 R2 hit BaT and then we'll *really* see a feeding frenzy. Not an FD, but as a '91 Prelude Si owner I keep an eye on those as well....... a 4WS 60k mile example just closed today for over $30k. What a time to be alive

 

I'm going to be creating a FD BAT+FB Marketplace+Garage find fund where I can instantly start picking up FD's. Think I want an SSM pristine condition FD next

 

Yes.

 

That's a very ominous and open ended "Yes" lol

 

Nice, my favorite FD, super jelly, may the miles and smiles continue well beyond 2070!!!

 

Crazy market for sure but that was one of the nicer cars. As all these prices on cars, houses, etc.... climb all I can think is it's going to be a very hard fall for a lot of assets.

As Rich said can't wait to see something extremely tasty show up; low mileage R2, CW base, 95 CW etc...etc.... Likely will sell for 6 digits.

 

Talk about rare. It’d be hilarious for one of the convertibles to show up and cause hilarious discussions on being a trailer.

 

Wow.. I almost thought that was a NA Miata

 

Makes me crave a Rootbeer Float

 

I'll happily take 60k for my 94 VR with 76k miles on it.

 

Totally agree

I'll take 60k for my R2 with 36k miles

This is stupid at this point.

Then I'll go buy a GT4 for 100k

 

We may not have seen the full effect of all this stimulus money. Currently just a few drops from such bucket could be driving the car market. After the 2008 stimulus, Vancouver housing market moved up and up and up and it could be argued that 2008 stimulus money is still finding its way into our market. Current US housing markets and car markets could be a significant leading indicator of broader inflation to come. If this mentality kicks in, collector cars could come to be considered an inflation hedge of sorts, putting at least a floor on current values.

 

There's absolutely more inflation to come. The cost of everything has risen so abruptly and small businesses like mine can't raise prices quick enough to compensate. No one is working, you can't evict deadbeat renters, fuel costs up, everything else has no choice but to follow, real estate, collector cars and all other investments. It's obvious why our cars along with everything else is becoming worth more. The dollar is losing value. Whats really crazy right now is the housing market, and folks borrowing way more than they should. Banks have gotten ballsy/complacent again. I thought 2007 was getting scary...

 

You mean a Roadster Float, n'est ce pas?

 

No no no. You need to be mid 70s to keep prices up for us base model guys haha.
