How to value your FD

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.

Most owners aren't good mechanics or view the engine bay the same way I do. Paint and interior are far more expensive to fix then cleaning/restoring the engine bay. There will always be a plethora of engine bay parts to be had for these cars since most engine bays have been gone through multiple times at this point. If the interior and exterior are clean I can restore the rest for a reasonable dollar amount.
With all that said the market has changed. I believe this car will approach higher up to the $16-18k range as there really arent many if any decent running FDs under that price point for sale right now.

New listing on Craigslist in Bend Oregon. 6593 original miles on a '93 touring. Asking $59K. Makes sense I guess, since marijuana is legal in Oregon....

But I have to note: The car has less than 7k miles and it has a missing battery cover? wtf...

Just for grins on the new VR in Oregon. If he bought it 10 years ago for $10,000 and sells it for $60,000, that's a 22% internal rate of return for the 10 years and that's waaaay better than you can do in any financial market..

Here's the other side of the coin. He bought it for 35 including taxes, tags and title. He's been paying personal property tax for 25 years (if he lives in VA), he's been insuring it, maintaining it and storing it. Even if he sells it for 60k (i think 45 would be a job/tan does matter) he'll likely lose money.
With that said he could have bought an RS 911 and made some money or a corvette or a mustang and lost some money LOL
The stock market is still your best over all bet or it's much easier to pick a hot/good stock versus a future collectable car. Remember when apple was in the 90s back in 2016 and trading at 12 times earnings........EASY MONEY! Like always I sold too soon though

Amp is the pricing guru this week at 18k
Add 5% 18,900
Someone just paid 19k for an FD with a decent dent in the passenger quarter panel, 135k miles, faded paint, 93 interior that will need to be gutted and replaced for the most part blah blah blah.
Lovin this crazy FD market

I agree on the pricing. That's a rough car in my book. It is really interesting to see where this market has gone/is going!

So it has been sitting forever with price drops every few months all the way down to $43k I believe.
So now it seems like a good time to increase back up to $50k ?

Out of curiosity - does anyone know the story behind it being "sold" on 1/8/18 to the 3rd owner but still for sale with the same dealership ?

And yet ANOTHER red over black FD, but this time it's a 1994! So different! Looks stock and pretty clean (how come no one keeps their battery cover?). Let the bid guessing begin!
I'll start: $28,000
