...and you would be wrong.

It's at $48,000 right now...

94 R2 07-13-18 03:47 PM
$47,750 as of right now. This is the new high water mark.

gmonsen 07-13-18 03:50 PM
Make that $49,000 and a minute to go...

Those last few minutes were exciting!

eslai 07-13-18 03:59 PM
Well, that was fun!

gmonsen 07-13-18 03:59 PM
Damn. I though it might have broken $50,000!

Gentlemen... The market has finally recognized the FD for the great car it is. Prices will never be the same. There will be no cheap FD's that are nice.

MattGold 07-13-18 03:59 PM
A sub 10K FD3S is officially NOT a $50K car.

eslai 07-13-18 04:01 PM
This is really killin' me, guys. I stopped doing anything to mine because it's like, well, now every time I touch the car I'm ruining its value. I'm conflicted.

94 R2 07-13-18 04:04 PM
Any speculation on what the final bid would have been if it was an R1? I say $52K.

What about CYM R1 or CW base? Id say $55-60k

I was conflicted as well when I got mine but I soon gave in. I bought the car to enjoy it, not to make money. As long as the joy of whatever mods you do is worth more than the potential depreciation, you win.

I don't miss by much often but I missed by a mile on this one. Great to see the price climb like it did!

Montego 07-13-18 04:58 PM
DAAAAYYYYUUUUUMMMM.... I did not think it was going to hit 50K (significant figures ;) )

^^This. As long as you don't go too crazy (like chopping up the fenders or repaint) then anything can be returned back to stock if you so desire. With that said, I painted my car from montego blue to yellow and quite honestly, I love it.

Just enjoy. Or, buy a low mileage car quickly before people realize their worth.

What a finish to that Bring a Trailer auction! Based on the comments, I do find it interesting how fragile people think the rotaries are - there even seemed to be some concern about a rebuild of a motor with 9000 miles on it!

For me, with almost exactly that car - 93 VR (NT) Touring with black interior (of course, with 80,000 more miles on it!) it was kind of cool to follow along!

btw - I play as BATboy on there :)

Surprized fastrx7man hasn't stopped by this thread to make an appearance and comment about his recent listing/sale.

He's probably out celebrating just having sold an FD for the highest price yet seen. :)

Narfle 07-13-18 07:04 PM
He traded his 93 red garage queen for that 94 silver driver plus like $30k. Pretty smokin' deal, IYAM.

RCCAZ 1 07-13-18 07:47 PM
The main takeaway from this sale is that most of us should consider calling our Classic Car insurance companies next week to raise our stated values.

Smokin' deal is right.

Yep the timing was perfection and he played his cards extremely well.

I thought I'd see one go for 50 this year but not a 93 VR touring.........dang. Can't wait to see a low mileage 94 or 95 R2 listed on BAT, ebay etc..

AND remember this car officially sold for 49k plus 5 percent, plus tax, plus shipping................We are talking big dollars now. The prices on the FD just got real :)

eh I have a 6 speed supra and I'm definitely modifying the shit out of it mechanically. the body remains stock though, I refuse to even roll a single fender so yea, that has made it harder.

mechanically, go nuts! I can't even give away the FD stock SMIC, steering wheel, ast, etc. and I can't bear to toss them because similar parts on the supra are difficult to acquire and very expensive.

It's a slow process but sooner than later we'll see nice stock FD parts selling for a lot more.

The things that are no longer made have already gone up a lot. The people taking advantage of this situation have been known to charge 400 plus for a 94/95 HVAC console etc... LOL

Fortunately there are also lots of talented people out there making nice aftermarket parts for this car and that's becoming easier and easier so as with all things capitalism will cap it :)
