Hey Guys, not a 3rd Gen but check this one out:

Just spoke with the owner and explained to him about the recent BAT 1979 sale at nearly $20,000 CAD. For whatever reason he doesn't want to list there - someone grab a bargain!
If I buy this my wife will execute me!

So, I was on a tour today, and we had a stop was at LBI, as part of their pre-opening marketing. A lot of exotics and vintage with great provenance, and what do you know, I see this:
No, you're paying a premium for a 94 non-sunroof car over a 93 touring. Given the $51k the buyer of the 93 touring paid, the $60k asking for this does not seem all that far off. If this car were an R2, I'd say this asking price would have very much been in line with the BAT sale.

We'll see an FD sell for 60k or more in the next 2 years.
This was a base..... no leather, no sunroof, no spoilers. The interior was so pristine! The seats looked like they had never been used.
They had a booth at the concourse D'Elegance so i saw it all weekend, as they brought this car and some others as well (like an Alfa Gueletta, a Lambo tractor, and a Ferrari 512 Superamerica....

Seems easy to me. If the car has low mileage it's worth between 30 to 50k. If it's your average FD it's worth 10 to 50k depending upon maint, mods, compression, what state it's in, paint work, who's owned it, how it's driven, what color it is........................ LOL

Also, with the upsurge in prices this year, it is eventually going to spill over onto less stock/OEM cars that are well done, I think.

Generally speaking, for an under 10,000 mile car I'd say that any changes probably hurt value. However, if you keep the original parts and they can be easily swapped back in changes like shift *****, ebrake handles, steering wheels, and map pockets aren't going to make any difference plus or minus, imo.

We should have recognized each other!
I'm also the one organizing the LBI/CZero/VangVang/Bangkok96 event on Sunday. Make sure one of you guys stop and say hi to me!
I'll be sure to wear my "Yamamoto is my Homeboy" Tshirt.

Aristo, I really dig the titanium, also I'm a big fan of base seats. Thanks for posting that picture, it looks great.
Matt that's a pretty sweet shirt, I was going to ask if you were showing up. I'll see you out there!

And yet another red over black 1993 on Bring a Trailer! This one is a base model with over 100k miles,a rebuilt engine, basic mods and some paint issues. I'm interested to see if this one can break $20k.

I may pick a number, but there are a few things I'm looking for regardless of guesstimate. First, is a reasonable clean 100k mile car can sell for $20,000 or more, that suggests the whole floor has moved up a lot and its not just the very low mile collector cars. If this one sells for, say, $15,000, then, that may not be true. I suspect that this should be close to $20,000.

Gotta say that the paint on this one makes me reduce my price from about $20,000 to more in the $15-17,000 range. I love the PFS intercooler and the fact that the same guy has owned this for 19 years.
