How to value your FD
Here we go again! SUPER low mileage: 9,500 - that's like less than 400 miles a year! 1994 Vintage Red (NU) over black Base model. Has some weird wear under the hood, but otherwise looks pretty clean - but not as good as I would expect for the mileage. My guess: $47,500.

I think I have seen this car in person. There was a dealer with it on display at the Concourse de Elegance in Plymouth MI recently. It wasn't in the show but it could have been. It definitely belongs at the top of the market.

Gas cap says barn find or possibly not stored in the best environment. Cowl may have fade, paint may have fade......all else looks typical for a 9k mile FD.
Will be fun to watch and may go above 50k
It doesnt look as good as the mileage suggests it should. Some of the other cars we have seen are much better cosmetically. Lots of little paint dings. The headlight covers dont match the rest of the paint.
I'll go with $42K (lower estimate since I hate red

As another data point, a 94 SSM R2 with 72k miles listed on Facebook marketplace sold for $23k in PA earlier this week. The car had minor issues like SRS light staying on, damaged interior door panel, water in spare well, aftermarket front windshield etc.
And now a pretty modded CYM with over 100k miles - and showing it's age. With admitted compression trouble and some other issues, I'll still put in my guess at $22,000.

Man... that CYM is kinda rough. Unprotected wires draped over the radiator, no undertray, and dirty interior are red flags to me.
Not to mention this vague, all-encompassing diagnosis: "low compression and a misfire, reportedly resulting from a worn rotor housing and apex, oil cartridge, and coolant seals"

Fit, finish, and details are key for swap cars. Almost nobody does a nice job with an engine swap. I see some stuff that makes me worry about attention to detail, but nothing a new owner couldn't correct. $25,000 - $32,500.

Reserve not met? wow ok people are out of their minds... I bet this guy wanted 50K, so basically the record.
Jeez! I wish there was some way to make money at auction price guessing! Anyway I was pretty close to the right guess for the high bid. And a reserve that high seems a little bit of a stretch, but really says something about the current market.
Keep trying. There is a new CYM posted on BAT. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-mazda-rx-7-41/
