Imagine if the car above which sold for 57k in May had 16k miles on it
It may have sold for over 70k or we'd have a new record holder. I will be surprised if this 94 VR base sells for over 70k but it could actually happen because of the model, year and condition. It's got the trifecta going on.

I suspect when folks are paying over 50k for a 27 year old car they probably won't drive it much which is a shame. I'm still driving mine, it's literally my favorite car to drive, they are so much fun!!!
I love the base models too but the R2 in ssm is still my favorite in stock form.

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

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

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!

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.

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.
