4,800-Mile BB Touring just posted on BaT, already at $60k with 6 days left. Will be interesting to see where it ends up.

That new listing really seems to be off to a roaring start (now $60,500).
I was surprised this one didn't do better (93 Touring / 45k miles): https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-mazda-rx-7-229/

Tripped up by compression test discussion. The most recent one does not have a compression test. We will see where that goes.
But otherwise hits most of the survey hot buttons.

I'm going to really stick my neck out and say 110k because this is the ideal collector car (orginal owner in CA and lived in a garage). If the economy was still booming, I'd say 120k plus.

YEP!
Fun financial bet. Will this car be worth more in 10 years or the GDX gold fund?
I'm going to say gold because I'm super worried about the car market as more and more people switch to electric. However, that may be a good thing for ICE collector cars and it's this type of thing that makes investing so frikken hard.

Well, the great depression taught my parents to have a least a years worth of food stored in the basement. That is a place to start. Worked well for them.

Back to the market. Has the flow of FD to market actually increased compared to recent times?
I have not counted the dots on the BAT chart but eyeballing it seems to show an increase.
Or is BAT just making the market more transparent?
The rough median prices seem to be resisting any "downturn" but the prices seem to be plateauing at the $40-50,000 (pinch-me-I- am dreaming) level.

I think the recent value increase has caused those that aren't extremely attached to capitalize causing an influx of sales.

Cars of dubious condition seem to be coming out of the weeds (or Koi ponds) in Japan as well.
Given Japan's very onerous inspection rules, that so many FD still exist is surprising.
So many of the cars are so modified, they would not pass our local inspection rules.
It is a testament to the cars desirability (imo) that so many have been kept squirrelled away in a country where storage space is such a premium.
Each week there seems to one or two cars coming up for full part out as evidenced by listings on YAJ.
The survival rate in North America also seems to be very high.
What is the guess on surviving USDM FD, compared to initial availability (say 5000/13,500 = 37%?)?.
Demand is obviously pulling in supply.
How long can this continue?
