How to value your FD

This car is not worth repairing unless you have nothing better to do with your time.
It sat outside with a damp carpet, even the cigarette lighter has rust on it (imagine how effed up all the electronics are within that interior). To fix that rust you'd pretty much have to strip that car down to a shell, buy a complete floor pan, cut out the rocker panels and replace those etc....

Is that car now the floor for FD's now? I couldn't imagine selling my car anywhere close to what that car went for simply due to the fact it was basically a good engine surrounded by a carcass.
And another question...whats the deal with the red one? Same year, less mileage, and much better condition. Is the red w/ tan interior less desirable?

Idk why everyone keeps hating on the black one. It's not a "carcass". It's not perfect and needs some work. Welcome to collector car pricing. Look at old rusted out muscle cars and old Porsches, now there are some carcasses that still pull hood money.
This car was fine. It went for $30k because it's not pristine , otherwise would have been 40+

^I'm watching that one count down and a few dudes are really duking it out. Almost $50k for an FD with well over 100k chassis miles, tan ('94) interior, and a sunroof. We live in Amazing Times for sure boys

For real take 2021 value and X2 for 2022.
The rich are stuffed with printed money and think nothing of paying 50k for a trashed FD or 175k for a 2010 GT3 that sold for 120k last year. Really crazy stuff!

The last 2 FDs that sold on BAT were not bargains though.
I seriously think we will see one sell for 100k next year.

If the economy gets into any sort of trouble they'll simply print more money and the prices will just go higher and higher. Central/gov banks should be eliminated. I can't believe what's been going on the last 20 years or so.

Here I go with the "Global" view again.
I wonder where in the desirability curve the LHD fit in with, say, the "limited edition" versions of S8, from the perspective of the universe of interest owners.
I think the most desirable LHD, might rank up there as an addition to someones collection, perhaps to sit side by side with a Spirit R?
Seeing the two cars side by side is a bit mind bending.
The cars are the same, but also very different in a lot of ways.
I suppose CAD allowed Mazda to "flip the blueprints" more easily, but all the same, the expense of the engineering required to reproduce the "flip" in the metal, would be prohibitive, would it not, for a limited run car.
(Of course the intention was not likely that they expected a limited run.)
It is always a bit weird , to me, to see parts-bin taillights on exotic cars.
